Adirondack Chair Project

I was bored at work one day this week. Picked up a book that was laying around my office and it was plans for outdoor furniture. It was a fellow co-worker's. I asked if I could flip through it, if I found a project I liked could I make a few copies of it; he said sure, no problem!
I found a few plans I figured I could do while I was off on my vacation time. One lady in my office said if I built her two she would pay me for it. I figured it would be an easy way to make a little extra cash.

This first plan I picked to build was a adirondack chair. Nothing too flashy, but very functional. It took me about two hours to make the cuts and assemble a few sections, a few hours another day finishing up the assembly of it, and a little bit today sanding the edges off. I still have to fill in the screw holes and paint. That will be another day.

Here is the almost final project.

I think it turned out fairly well for my first time. Going to try and make about 6 more in the next few weeks, weather permiting. My neighbors are wanting a pair for them for each other for Christmas. So, looks like I got to get busy on them quick!
