Wow that project came out beautiful. Love the design. I would definitely like to see your were version of a tapering jig.
Would LOVE to see you make you jigs! Tapering-leg jig and any others that you use! It would be EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you! LOVE your page!
Love how these turned out!
Love that finish. Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Love the use of offcuts for clamping. I have done this and it takes it back to a right angle, which really makes it helpful.

Have been looking for outdoor chair plans and found this video. Love the modern sleek look of the chair compared to many of the 2x4 looking chairs. I don't have the full workshop yet, so it is going to be a challenge to build this chair with just a circular saw, jig saw, hand sander, and palm router.
Beautiful work Brad!! I love how smooth that total boat finish looks. Im definitely going to have to try that one out!

¡Excelente trabajo! Maravillosa herramienta.
I really like that chair and from simple materials it looks great. It was worth watching the video just to see the finish fail. Very informative regarding what components penetrate the wood and how it separated. If nothing else, it convinced me to actually do a test application (which I basically never do). Keep up the great work.
Wow...that finish looks great! Glad you were able to work that out, Brad!

This looks awesome! Thank you for showing the mishaps too - they really help. I'd like to see some more jigs too - your style seems well suited to this. One suggestion - either a Sketchup exploded diagram walking through the parts or some sort of picture-in-picture with parts highlighted. I got lost my first time through watching, but the second time was easier to follow since I knew what I was looking at. Keep up the awesome work!

Nice! Love the design. Would like to hear more about choices for outdoor wood finishes. I’m currently refinishing oak slats on an outdoor bench, again. First time used polyurethane and lasted one season. This time bought a marine varnish. I think m headed in the right direction. What you used seems better.
@Fixthisbuildthat
5 жыл бұрын
The Total Boat products are definitely marine grade as they primarily are used on boats. But any finish will need maintenance as well. Total Boat suggests a yearly maintenance thin top coat.
Hail to the teacher! 😄 You, Pask makes and Tamar 3x3 and another dude who's by far your superior (but who's name keeps alluding me, age, alzheimer's, freudian? nah, who cares) you are the best! For instance: your remarks concerning milling or just buying for the right measure.... that really makes a difference.
Awesome! Great Job !

Looks exactly like a chair I had in my room in college at the frat house. it had been handed down year to year for who knows how long. It was very comfy. That was in the 70's. I guess modern is a point of view.

Modern in furniture-speak is a style that refers to 1950s - 1970s. You're probably thinking of modern as the current time. I see your point, though.

Great Project. I am actually building this right now. I am struggling with the proper cushion though. Really liked the ones you used. Can you share where you got them from?? Keep adding those great videos Thanks
Great looking chair. I am wondering about the strength of the rear legs. If the front and back legs were to be "splayed" for whatever reason, i.e. the 29 3/8 dimension was to be increased for whatever accidental reason after the chair is built, the bending moment on the rear leg would be much greater than the bending moment on the front leg, since the front leg is supported at its mid span (approx) by the chair seat, but the rear leg is supported much closer to the top by its attachment to the chair back. Has there been any issues long term with the durability in that area? Bought the plans last year and am hoping to start the build soon.
Great video, I really like your design! I bet your shop smelled amazing

they are very stout as the legs are pretty thick. Putting epoxy on the screws as they are driven in would lock them even more

Beautiful end product. I made 4 Adirondack chairs using Western Red Cedar and didn't finish them. I just let them age naturally. After a few years they became rough and splintery. Cedar is very soft. I am not sure how well yours will hold up using pocket screws. I am not in the anti-pocket screw Club, I just think in softwood they will pull out in a few years. Thanks for posting

I have some other cedar pieces with pocket screws and they are holding well. I've considered screwing them in, removing them then putting epoxy in the hole and reinstalling. Could be a good alternative

I'm looking for plans to build a dining room chair. I will be building furniture for a Food Bank for there clients. I was going to use either Douglas Fir or Southern Yellow pine 2X4s. I want to keep the price down. Also, I want to limit each piece to 30 inches since I will be using a CNC router. that is limited to 30X30 inches.
Awesome
Te pasaste, excelente
When I saw this chair it was exactly what I want to build I bought the plans and I'm building it next week. question though in the video it doesn't look like you are using glue on a lot of the joints where you are using pocket holes. I'd love to not mess with glue on these joints bit are you sacrificing a lot of needed hold? Great project I'm excited to expand my skills with it
Diablo is such an awesome brand with truly the longest lasting tools and utilities. So sad they don't have any executives in Europe. We have to rely only on Amazon for delivery.
