Kid Sized Adirondack Chair
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Whenever I am sitting outside, the moment I get out of my chair, my granddaughter rushes over to sit where I was sitting. While I don't mind her sitting in Pop's chair, I thought that she might like to have a chair of her own. So on this week's show, with no pattern and a "fly by the seat of my pants" attitude, I demonstrate how to make a kid sized Adirondack chair. I hope you enjoy the project and the show.

Doing for grandkids is a very rewarding feeling... I have made some simple tablet stands for mine to use when at my house and they liked them enough to ask Pa Pa to make them one each for home.... Keep on designing and building Pop...
Thanks for the kind words on the project Joel. It sounds like you have the right idea when it comes to the grandchildren. Thanks for tuning in to the show and sharing your story. I love it.
A really great chair for a child (BTW your granddaughter is cute and looks happy sitting in the chair that PAPA made for her), I hate painting wood but there are times when you really have no choice specially when the item is going to be left to the elements, the back runner support does not look long, sometimes people forget that for a child 2 to 5yo needs that extra support plus it's a good place to add some toy storage just by adding a base between the back legs, Thank you Ken for always taking time out of your busy week to post a video it is well worth it, have a pleasant weekend be safe
It has been a while since this video was filmed and the chair has seen extensive use. Just as an update, the design works well and there is no issues with the length of the back runners. She couldn't tip this chair over if she wanted to. LOL. Now that I've said that, it sounds like a challenge. Thanks for tuning in to the show Alan and for taking the time to leave the kind words and suggestions. It's very much appreciated.
And toddlers. LOL.
Great chair, for a beautiful little girl! Cuteness overload!
She is definitely a little cutie. Thanks for the kind words and for tuning in to the show.
Hi Kenny, great job winging it, flying by the SEAT of your pants. Looks fantastic mate, it looks like she’s loving it.
She loves her little chair. It's going to be a shame when she grows out of it. LOL. Thanks for tuning in Philip and for the kind words.
Very Nice, POPS!
ENJOYED 😉
Glad that you liked it Jeff. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I’ve been looking for a plan for my granddaughter, thanks
You're very welcome. Good luck on your build and thanks for tuning in.
Kenny, great design for just winging it. Seems as though the size is just right for your granddaughter. Makes me wish my grandkids were small again. My two cents for paint…white enamel with her initial in hot pink on the back. BTW, what a smile…
I couldn't agree more with the white enamel Paul and that is what the entire chair was painted with. I haven't put any accents on it yet, but I was thinking her name or initials but in pink or red vinyl, done on the Cricut machine for a little extra professionalism. Thanks for tuning in to the show and for taking the time to leave the kind words and the suggestions.
Great job I roughly used your sizes and built my own turned out really good don't know how to send you a photo but would if I could you mentioned you thought back legs seemed long I added a little tray on mine so my nephew can put his colouring books or toys in, fills the space between back legs and adds strength, well done Stewart Uk
You can always send any photos that you want to share to kennye@acutabovewoodworkings.com and I would be more than happy to see them Stewart. Thanks for tuning in and for taking the time to leave your comment.
That could be an heirloom, it is a nice chair. Maybe she should pick out the color and possibly add a few brush strokes of her own. She might be a workshop helper someday...you never know. You did an excellent job Kenny. Enjoyed,take care!
Glad that you liked it Michael. I am hoping that she will become a workshop helper. Both of my daughters would spend time in the shop with me when they were younger and I'm looking forward to my granddaughter doing the same. Who knows, maybe she will even host a few shows with me and work on some kid's projects. Thanks for tuning in sir.
I was always told it’s not a good plan unless it changes a few times lol great project, those are on my honey do list and I think a mini one for mini me would be very cool.
I hope you get around to making some of these Randy. It was a fun project. The painting of it?....not so much. I hate painting. Next time, I will purchase a paint sprayer and spray the coating on. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings thankfully my wife loves painting that is my least favorite part of a project as well
@@randysmith3828 Sounds like a joint project is going to be in the works. LOL
just what I was looking for, thanks
You're very welcome John. I'm glad that you liked it. Thanks for tuning in and good luck on your project.
I truly like your video but I wish you would have plans or at leasr a list of cuts and sizes for each piece size. Putting a cut list in the description area.
This chair was made before I offered plans or cut lists but the good news is that the show was produced in such a way, that the chair is easily made by taking notes during the show and duplicating what I've done. Good luck on your project and thanks for tuning in.
PAINT??? Say it isn’t so!! I’ve always wanted to build some Adirondack chairs, but when I get serious about starting, all those curves, angles, proportions etc. team up to give me a migraine! At that point, my typical plan is to go find some Oreos and the recliner! You knocked this one outta da park! Good job!
Just get in there and do it Tom. You wont regret it. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain from giving it a try. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words on the show. It's truly appreciated.
kenny, muito bom seu projeto e melhor ainda suas explicações e montagem. Bom ainda não tenho neto e nem neta, mas sobrinha e sobrinho de 1 e 2 anos, acredito que uma ou duas cadeiras dessas vai vir a calhar com a casinha de boneca que construi para os dois brincarem debaixo de uma arvore.
Voce disponibiliza algumas medidas kenny? obrigado.
Other than the measurements that I provided during the show Carlos, I have no other measurements. There were no plans for this build and I just made it up as I went along. I would suggest giving this a try and seeing how you make out with it. Good luck and thank you for tuning in to the show.
@@acutabove_woodworkings ok Kenny.
Como meu inglês é muito ruim, não consegui entender. Qdo é texto usamos o Google Translator , mas no áudio ficou difícil, mas tudo bem vou de alguma maneira tentar fazer um aqui pra minha sobrinha. Abraços e felicidades.
@@acutabove_woodworkings Legal Kenny, consegui anotar as medidas , agora sim vamos fazer uma para a minha sobrinha afilhada e ela vai adorar. Gostaria de poder mostrar pra voce e para os amigos depois de pronta. abraços
@@carlosgomesribeiro9569 I am glad that you were able to get the measurements from the show. I would love to see your chair when you are done. You can send your pictures to the show's email address at acutabove_woodworking@hotmail.com
Nice build Kenny and judging by your Granddaughters face she loves the chair, why not paint the chair Pink and White or paint it her favourite colour and lets hope it's not Black ha ha ha.
Stay Safe,
Barry (ENG)
At one and a half years old Barry, I'm not sure if she even has a favourite colour yet. LOL. It will be white for now and then maybe some vinyl accents as her interests become more apparent. Thanks for tuning in to the show sir and for the suggestions.
