Folding Adirondack Chair build using Veritas Plans 

Thanks for that Steve, I’m pleased you had a go and successfully completed your chairs. I’m sure they’ll be a great addition to your outdoors and whilst you are relaxing in those well made chairs you can contemplate your next challenge 😉 Thanks for the comment and the compliment. Cheers Steve (yep all woodworkers are called Steve 😂)

Thanks

Hi Tim, Oak! now that'll be so so nice. thanks for the watch, compliment and sharing your success. Cheers Steve

Thanks, you are spot re the sturdiness with such a simple locating idea as well and no need for any fancy locking mechanisms

Enrique Gracias 👍🏻

SD Woodworking Thanks it turned out nice and got used when we had some decent weather 😏, the plans also came with an option to make a slightly smaller in the seat chair which I also made which was just right for my wife.

Mr Slim Guy 65 Thanks for the watch and comment, luckily the osmo was left over from a paying job so was a freebie. Yep the redwood is standing up to the weather here as well, did you re coat yours? Cheers Steve

Phenicia Wood Stuff yes Steve funny enough I gave it another coat in April it was more to put a bit of colour back into the chair than to actually treat the wood..thanks.

Jerry Quarles don’t disagree I’ve got fixed ones which are great! The folding ones just handy and thought might be a good version to sell 😉

I did use 1” thick timber I’ve used 3/4 since which does make it easier to fold. With the winters in NW UK best to put away 😉 Thanks for the watch & taking the time to comment 👍🏻

Thanks Chris, these do fold up to about 300mm and easy to store. Cheers Steve

Hi Daisy, I’ve just made some fixed back ones very similar to these video link here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kBacaYx2Y5k.html anyway the timber requirements are 1 x 1.5m(5’) x 200mm (8”) x 25mm (1”), 6 x 2.4m (8’) x 150mm (6”) x 25mm (1”) per chair and with what is left over and the offcuts I manage to make a small wine table to accompany them. I tend to use thicker stock (1”) but think the plan calls for 3/4” so there is some slight adjustments on the cross members or the seat slats if you go with the thicker stock. Hope this helps. Cheers Steve ps depending on the moisture content and the season the back fixing can become tight or slack I just use some small thin wedges to overcome, they’re still going strong 4 yrs on

Hi David, Yeh sorry about that, but in my defence it was one of my first videos with a rubbish camera and zero talent in editing 😂 unfortunately the original footage has been lost (computer death) so I can’t remaster 😏 unless I film another build of course 😉 Thanks for the watch and taking time to comment 👍🏻 Cheers Steve

Sorry about that Gareth, this was one of my first videos, in terms of time as I recall it took about 3 days, once the templates are made subsequent chairs are about 1/2 the time. No real snags, just determining the gap between the slats initially was fiddly, however once dialled in to the size with some spacers it was a breeze. like most projects you feel like you need 3 hands so a decent set of clamps/grips are a must. They're still going strong 3 yrs living outside in the northwest of the UK, the only issue is wood movement where the back slots into the legs, in warm/dry weather can be loose, so i added some wedges and when damper (late autumn/fall) when I collapse them to store they can be tight! Finally these are quite low so can be a bit awkward for older folk to get out of, and they're quite heavy but I used 1"/25mm Redwood pine! other species of timber might help this out. Would i build them again yes and still do for friends and family. The plans are easy to follow and once you've made the templates then they're there whenever you want them. Hope this helps Cheers Steve

I actually used some Allen (hex) stainless steel machine bolts that had a domed head with a stainless locking nut, M10 thread as I recall with a stainless washer at both bolt head and nut ends, they work a treat and still going strong some 3 yrs on 👍🏻 Thanks for the watch, comment and question. Hope it helps. Cheers Steve

Huw, but what a shocking vid 😉 As for the timber it was about £40 (prices have shot up during COVID though)and a 1/2 sheet of 12mm MDF is about £12 (the stuff I used I already had, offcuts from a previous project I guess). Cheers Steve

Hi Sean as I recall I used a 1/4” bit for these, however a 3/8 would do the job

Eu também gostaria de comprar

David Bennett Yep definitely is quite low but very comfortable once in them 😉

@@Phenrica getting out of it and on my feet is the issue. I really like Adirondack Chairs. In fact the Adirondack Mountains are just across the Mohawk River Valley to the north high up here on the ridge of the northern most boundary of the Catskill Mountains.

Eric Peterson Thanks for watch and question In terms of the hardware I just bought some stainless steel bolts etc of eBay, what a cheap skate 😉

Nicola Ballantine Hi, I used a wood preserver first Barrentine Golden Brown, then a couple of coats of Osmo UV protection oil, 425 Oak transparent. It still looks good still and held it’s colour well. Thanks for watching

@@Phenrica I take it pressure treated wood is not required given the sealants added?

@@MitchBegle they’re still good 3yrs on, I’ll be giving them some tlc during the autumn/fall with a rub down and a coat of Osmo. As for pressure treated it can only help tho’ the pt stuff around here is awful stuff.

Benedito Alves da Silva Os desenhos se transformam em modelos. Tenho certeza de que haverá algo semelhante no Brasil. obrigado por assistir

DIY with JIM they are straight forward nothing complicated once you’ve made the templates

Richard Flaherty hi Thanks for compliment, I’ve not come across any footstool plans, however should be quite straight forward using the style set out in the chair plans, I just might give it a go in the near future, another one to the projects list 😉

Thank you for your reply. I look forward to more of your videos.

you can get the plans from any of these outlets www.veritastools.com, www.leevalley.com, www.axminster.co.uk, www.tyzack.com hope this helps. Thanks for watching

Hi Glenn, I used Scandinavian Pine, known as ‘redwood’ in the U.K.

Thanks

@@Phenrica thanks Steve

Sometimes people add music, sometimes they just play some of the sound at normal speed. Its worth experimenting to see what you like. RU-vid has a library of free music to choose from also.

It would be improved with a voice over explaining what you are doing, why you chose to do it that way and anything you would do different if you did it again

@@andrewmo49 I do agree Andrew, though not sure that I really did know what I was doing when I made this 😉. I’ll see if I can add to this video as the original footage has been lost due to the computer hard disc it was stored sadly departing this world! Thanks for the watch and the recommendation 👍🏻 Cheers Steve

Hi Edmund, if you’re talking about the two angle brackets then you only drill the 4 screw holes in one (this attaches then to the arm) and the other has the single larger hole for the carriage bolt, it’s this that attaches to the leg and gives it the swivel. Hope this helps. Cheers Steve. Ps thanks for the view and question, if I can help further please just ask.

@@Phenrica Thanks Steve. I finished the chair today and it looks great!

Edmund Lowe Hope you get the weather to enjoy 😉

dreamkiss4u - buy them from lee valley.

Руслан Плутонов I so agree it was one of my first videos sorry, I don’t use that transition at all now and due to make some more chairs so might re shoot 😉

Joey Suggs Hi Joey I guess the design came from the Adirondack region in New York State USA. The design is quite worldwide I believe, they’re very comfortable as a outside/garden lounge chair plus quite a straight forward woodworking project. Normally they’re of a fixed build type which makes them awkward to store etc in the winter months so the folding ones make this easier imho. Hope this helps

Thank you for the reply. I hadnt known they spread so far. Always thought they were a New England thing. Nothing better in summer in the shade with a G&T or mint julep.

Bonjour, plans available here www.axminstertools.com/veritas-folding-adirondack-plus-chair-plan-476773?glCountry=GB

Hi got mine from Axminster Tools and Machinery in the uk as I recall in North America Lee Valley will have them I’m sure

maraichinfr Hi, I used Redwood pine for these, it was about 22mm thick (1”) PAR planed all round. They’re still going great after a couple of years in the Northwest weather 😉 Enjoy the build they’re great chairs by the way 👍🏻

Phenrica thanks from France

Ver si Lee Valley en Canada publica en Colombia?

It took about 10-12 hours after making the templates. I cut all the pieces on day one and assembled them the next day. Hope this helps & Thanks for watching

Mon montage vidéo n'est pas aussi bon que ma menuiserie je pense! merci pour le bien fait

Bravo quand même pour la qualité de votre travail. Le flou tend à déconcentrer. Il ne faut l'utiliser que pour les grandes transitions. Le mieux devient sinon l'ennemi du bien. Autre question. Où peut-on se procurer ces plans ? Merci.

Le nouvel effet de transition que je viens de regarder est bien meilleur. Merci pour cette correction rapide.

okey

Sunny Brae Woodcraft Here. Just a question Under " Assembly Instructions" it states ( all templates and these instructions assume your stock has been milled to 3/4 inch. yet you used 1 inch? If you used the templates as I have 1" will not work. Can you explain please tks
