    Thank you for sharing. Reminder for all of us carpenters must protect our lungs when sanding the wood. All the more reason when we work with pressure-treated wood since it contains insecticides and antifungal agents. Good construction of the chair and the plans are clear enough.

    I don't have much experience in woodworking. (I saw my dad use a drill once.) But I thought I would tackle this project and make it a little wider to handle anyone. It took me a few days, but I built the chair, and it has handled 350 pounds of weight. Thank you very much for your guidance.

    There is a major advantage to using only one bolt in each leg attachment place. It lets the chair rack out of shape to fit uneven ground, and avoids damage when it does. Rigid outdoor furniture is a pain, as I soon discovered after making some.

    I modified the plan a little by putting a small square block on top of curved arm braces screwed in perpendicular. I was able to screw up through them into the bottom of armrest to conceal the screws leaving a clean look as well as another point not to allow water to gather and rot over time. Small modification.

    Might be the most comfortable for someone under 40 but as you age it’s difficult getting out of it.
    The slope of the seat does not have to be that steep and the legs
    could be higher. THEN you’d have a comfortable chair. I like your design but 76 year old me couldn’t use it.

If I was to make a video I’d make it for an absolute beginner, someone that has no idea what they’re doing AT ALL. That’s how simple I’d make it, just my opinion. Like I said yours is easy for me because I do woodworking as a hobby but some of the lingo and cuts people aren’t going to know. I am going to build this though; have you ever thought about selling your plans? Probably make good money doing that

      @@greattbuilds a simple push stick to support the wood that is between the Fence and blade is all you need. Those push blocks you use are great but you need to push the wood through on the other side of the blade
