Dyslexic? I never would have guessed if you had not shared that with us. Thanks for being open with that. This could be quite helpful with my students who have similar "other" abilities. You have a great RU-vid presence and a guest spot on an awesome television show. Having you as a successful person to show that something like dyslexia can't hold you back if you don't let it is a boon to our struggling youth/students. Bless you for being open and showing some of your work-arounds dealing with your other-ability.

@AprilWilkerson 2 года назад

Thank you for your kind words. Not only dyslexic but I had a speech impediment also. I worked hard in 6 years of Speech Therapy so anything can be achieved if you put your mind to it. Instead of letting it intimidate you, let it make you resolve to work even harder to overcome. Thank you for watching.

@MarioG2912 2 года назад

Holy crap!! I just finished shopping for the lumber to make two of these rockers from Menard's. I feel like I ran a 5K. 1x6 and 1x4 on completely opposite parts of their property, plus a flight of steps to boot. It cost me about $80/chair. Alright, enough complaining. Let's build these rockers!! I'm really going to need one by the time I finish. Ha!

@justplanebob105 2 года назад

Hi April. I only have a benchtop band saw. Not knowing whether or not it will cut out larger chair parts has been holding me back from tackling Adirondack chairs. Would it work or would I be better off just going with a jig saw? Thanks ahead of time. :)

I love your videos. The way you talk through everything makes it all seem so attainable! Do you think it would be possible to make your folding design into a rocker? Or your rocker design foldable? Give it some thought. I really like both features and don’t want to have to choose. Keep it up! 👍

@davidneel8327 2 года назад

Suggestion for the next project. A hammock and hammock stand. Just don't used it after having a few beers. LOL

@mauriceryton 2 года назад

Having made many Adirondack chairs there is one weakness in your design. Attaching the arms at the back as you do is fine. Over time as people sit on those arms, it will eventually break. Add a vertical support from the bottom leg to the arm to resolve that problem.

@squirlmy 2 года назад

The solution for that is to scream "get the f$%* off my chairs you brats" loudly and liberally. Seriously, anyone sitting on the arms is really foolish and deserves whatever splinters they get. Of I suppose you can sit quietly in chair #1 with a shotgun and keep one eye out for children and idiots for chair #2, 3, 4, etc.😂🤣

@Vet6970 Год назад

nice looking chair April, looks easy to build. might need to add an upper back support. did you have to wait for the treated wood to dry out?

@c.a.g.1977 2 года назад

These chairs definitely will go on my "to build"- list! Any tips on getting the top of the back slats flush with eachother?

@ChiefMoonChunks 2 года назад

You could probably assemble first and then draw a curve and cut after it's put together with a jigsaw

@c.a.g.1977 2 года назад

@@ChiefMoonChunks true,good tip! but I reckon there will be some movement and twsiting in those slats after cutting it with a jigsaw, so I was looking for a soltution to that.

@BrianHw1 2 года назад

Love the design, April! Can you tell me what width and thickness of wood and how much you use for this? I'm trying to figure out cost on building one. I'm thinking I should be able to use deck boards for most of it. Although cedar would be better.

@kobe1980 10 месяцев назад

She mentioned 1x or 1” x in her video, the width would be up to you. Personally I’d use 1x10 and perhaps get many boards out of one.

@revlry51 2 года назад

@thisistheendpt2 2 года назад

Attach a bevelled strip of timber behind the head rest to prevent it from buckling.

@stevekisling8592 2 года назад

Do you get templates for the small parts that make up the half laps on the inside rocker? I am talking about the small pieces at the front and back. The plans show them as a template but I did not receive these.

@AprilWilkerson 2 года назад

Hi Steve. You are not missing templates for those parts. The light blue rocker assemblies on age 12 are mirrors of the green rocker templates (they just have cut outs for the attached supports). Feel free to email us if you have any questions. Thanks.

@billparrish4385 2 года назад

Actually, "Adi-rock-dack" wouldn't be a bad name for it! Great design, April! I like 'constructing' those half-laps, too, especially given the strength of glue. Goes back to when I didn't have the right equipment to cut one from solid wood, but there's also the advantage of getting different grain in there strengthening each other against warping/twisting (even running in the same direction still has this advantage).

@ducksfan3525 2 года назад

Your templates got delivered to me today! What type of wood did you use in the video?

@davidgarrison1988 Год назад

Are you templates messed up cuz mine were . Was missing the under arm support and 15 1/2" piece under are and 2 of the pieces that supposed to be 3 1/2 cut from the 1x4's are only 3 1/4 " templates so all the extra work plus no assembly measurements . I contacted them and got nowhere .

My daughter is taking carpentry in school and I sent her the link to this asking her to make it for me for my Christmas/birthday/anniversary gift next year… the thing is, she doesn’t have all the tools you have, and she is only 16…. Can we buy it precut and rounded, so she can just assemble it for me? Although that takes the fun out of wood making…. How else would one get their wood cut like this without tools? Is there a list of what is needed? Renting these tools would cost much more than just buying a already complied rocker,,, :/ any advice??
