Shame on your for stealing Brad's idea that Brad stole from me ;) As you said on the podcast, I'm glad to see you riding the Adirondack chair gravy train haha
Haha, thanks Paul! I'm already grateful that you invented UA-cam and allow me to participate. Hey, thanks for listening to the show! That's so neat to hear. :)
All y'all missed it, Fisher said at the beginning of the video that the neighbor was building a fence (to keep Fisher out of his yard)! Merry Christmas! 💖🌞🌵😷
Nice tweak to the Rockler plans! I’ve made 17 of the original chairs over the years and have a few hints to share with your subscribers. 1) Use weather proof lumber, perhaps Western Red Cedar (which I’ve seen last the longest so far) 2) Look for places where pocket screws can be used to hide the hardware, especially on the arms, 3) Paint parts before assembly because the spaces can be too tight even for a sprayer, 4)Use coated deck screws or stainless steel screws to prevent rust.
“Adirondack chairs are hard to get out of” - “I know, let’s make them move!” 😂 These are awesome! Thanks for another great video. I made a pair of Norm Abram’s Adirondack chairs many years ago. They are a very fun project and always a popular place to sit.
I came across your channel during the 2020 corona times and you reignited my passion for woodworking, which I haven't done since graduating high school in 2005, and now at 35 years old i just signed up to do a carpenter apprenticeship and finally give myself the opportunity to do a job I've always loved. I'll have to keep these chairs in mind when I'm able to build stuff on my own
I WANT! 😍 The look on your face when you finally had it done reminded me of The A-Team: “I love it when a plan comes together!” Those are GORGEOUS and look super comfortable. Awesome job, Drew! 👍🏼
dang, If I had a shop like this. Man I would be the happiest man ever, I would live in there. My wife would maybe feel different, but she would like the things i make. she already does. I just find a spot lay a plywood down and use what I have to make stuff.
Came here for the outtakes. Stayed for the chair tutorial. 👍🏻 "Put the left foot in. Take the left foot out. Do the Hokey-Pokey and shake it all about!" ... Nice chair and alterations, Drew! Will definitely keep this in mind if/when I need to replace what I already have.
They look really cool. I've seen dozens of adirondack chair build videos over the years but I've never seen a glider version before. The design is very clever and you are absolutely right - the normal adirondack chair design is a bit too low down, especially if you have elderly parents or guests visiting. Thanks for posting.
I’m so glad to see this. It completes the trio of recent UA-cam Adirondack designs, and I think it’s the best of them. Thank you for the wonderful video.
Funny how you and Brad and seemingly many others like me love the look of the Adirondack chairs but not the difficulty of getting out of them, etc. While I can argue I really don’t like them now that I am old and fat but honestly, I’ve never liked them for the same reasons. I really like the glider option you brought to the table! I’ll be ordering another set of your plans! Thanks for another great project and video!
Oh my gosh, I was so confused until the very end. No walnut? No flat head screw? I was really concerned about you Drew - thank you for throwing in that last bit to let us all know you're OK. I really like the way you enhanced the basic Adirondack chair! I too don't like how far back they tilt nor how low they typically are to the ground. Your modifications look perfect. Thanks!
Excellent builds i love them and you have to put a Flat Head screw somewhere, it's as traditional as your Out Takes at the end of your video or even pinching your Neighbours Wood 🤣Joking aside you and your wife looked sooooo comfy sitting there just rocking along on your new chairs and discussing how many of them you could dish out in a week to sell 🤔 Take Care and Stay Safe, Barry (UK) 👍
Waking up to a new fishers shop video about the much anticipated Sliding Adirondack is a joy to my Saturday morning! Gonna make some breakfast before I press play ☕️ #WBAT
Hey Drew, I know you sold the RV but a small portable roubo bench or a toolbox idea for our caravans could be a cool video idea that you could sell plans for. I know the caravan & camping market here in Australia is massive so a little benchtop roubo or a toolbox with an integrated vice on end with dog holes on top or something else like that could sell very well. I know the last thing you wanna do on holiday is more work, but if it had some kind of storage space you could hide your peanut m&m’s in there😅
Drew, you nailed it~! I feel the same way about how low the typical Adirondack's sit. I love the way you modified it AND turning it into a glider was a brilliant idea. I'll be ordering your plans this weekend. Thanks bro~!
This video scared me into thinking my life is too short to build one of these. Or… I need to buy more tools so I can speed up the process. Option B it is!! Rockler tools, I’m thinking. Love the glider option. Very nicely done, sir.
You're just pretty dang awesome Mr. Fisher! Great presentation as always. I was glad to see you finally started talking to the Mrs while you were sitting on the porch. I thought for a while you were getting a lecture. I just happen to know what they look like.
Now you've done it. Gave me another project. You trying to put me to work? lol. I could probably figure out how to make these without the plans and templates...if I watched the video a few dozen more times. I think ordering the Rockler plans and templates would be a lot simpler. And I do like simple.
I love your videos. Especially your sense of humor! And yes, you would've caught a lot of grief if you had not used a flat head. Love how you snuck it in to the credits! Keep up the good work.
Great build and great video. So I get to the end of the build part and I am not seeing what I am looking for. I am thinking I have to watch it again to see where you snuck it in. I decide to watch the bloopers before I re-watch the video and low and behold I found the flat head screw! Thank you !
Really nice chair, Drew. I'm surprised your neighbor didn't have those glider brackets laying around so Rockler didn't have to supply them. I wish Rockler sold them in stainless instead of plated. Bill
Drew I like the way that you improved the chair and the patterns are great. I made a love seat glider but it was fun trying to get the patterns from the paper onto the wood. I going to order from Rockler from now on. 9:43
Hey thanks! Yeah, for paper templates, I typically use spray adhesive and just glue them to the wood. But it means I have to print and assemble a new template for every piece, which can be annoying.
Great video, Drew! So glad you managed to squeeze in that flat-head screw there. The project might have been a complete disaster if you hadn't. I have a friend who gets motion sick from a wheeled office chair. I might make them one of these gliders...
Great job Drew! Those turned out fantastic. I know you have them sitting facing the neighbors house. I read your wife’s lips and could see her saying, “Gees. Why is he so mad, and throwing his hands in the air!?”
I really like rocking chairs and gliders and this project was a very clever enhancement to the traditional Adirondack chair. Great design and enjoyable video. I’m sure you love the chairs as built. In looking at the photo of you sitting in the chair the arms look a bit high. Has anyone who has actually sat in the chair wished for the arms to be a smidge lower?
THIS time, I really would like some kind of cost comparison/breakdown. It appears that you spent a ton of money to make those chairs. I LOVE them and that is my favorite kind of chair. I don't enjoy regular rocking chairs or swings. And I agree with you AND Jackman that Adirondacks are uncomfortable to use.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this Drew!!! Gliders are so relaxing. I definitely want to buy your plans and make one. I've got a $50.00 Rockler Gift Card right now that will work out wonderful to buy the Rockler items needed. You did an awesome build as usual and your sense of humor always keeps me laughing. Thanks for another GREAT project video!!!
@@FishersShop So we’re you going to offer plans for this project? I know it was this plus that, but very successful! Live the glider addition but I’d love less hardware (screws) showing in stuff I build. I know it’s part of this type of design but I still like to hide hardware or other joinery when possible.
Nice design. I agree a more upright seat is more comfortable as compared to the low original. I used to make Norm Abrams’ Adirondack chairs back in the day which are similar to this version, but adding the rocking feature is a fantastic idea.
Many years ago I built a couple of adirondack chairs from a template. I built one as per the template and modified one. The aspect I changed was to have the front of the seat a few inches wider than the back, so I was not cramped. Unfortunately I don't that could be done with a glider.
I recently finished a pair of chairs myself, and made about 100 gallons of cedar chips because I DIDN'T bandsaw some of them down to thickness. :) Nice build!
Great video never liked those chairs just for that reason to low can’t get out of them would love to try your version Drew looks like you fix all them issues great job
Drew, This is the perfect chair for down by the pond. I need to get your print. I have a bunch of white oak that cant wait to get used in this way. Very cool.
Shame on your for stealing Brad's idea that Brad stole from me ;)

@@FishersShop you sir should be thankful that Al Gore invented the internet so that I could invent UA-cam!
I am grateful that Elon Musk gave birth to Al Gore.
This thread only gets better as we go on. lol
Your neighbor always has too much extra stuff laying around. He needs to rethink his life! 😂
No need! He has Drew to help!
I think the neighbor leaves stuff out for him like a person putting out bird seed.
No no no. If he rethinks his life, where will Drew get all his wood from???
His neighbor’s stuff isn’t extra, it was his actual oil cap!!
All y'all missed it, Fisher said at the beginning of the video that the neighbor was building a fence (to keep Fisher out of his yard)! Merry Christmas! 💖🌞🌵😷
Nice chair. I love this honest and complete joy on your face when you see how well it turned out!
And I love the end of that video! 🤣
Glad you enjoyed it!

And definitely don’t use galvanized hardware because it will stain the cedar black.

Smart making two to enjoy togetherness. Tweaking design and adding features feeds the creative genius in all of us. Thanks for setting the example!
Ahhh. It was good to hear one of the songs of my people once again at 2:09!
Nice looking Adirondack chairs Drew! Thanks for sharing the video with us 💖👍😎JP

I did the same exact thing with ebony stain a couple weeks ago! “The image on the can looks like what I’m going for… Oh, it’s just black.” 😂
😆
Amazing as always!! It was a really neat idea to make them a glider!
Thank you! 😊
Drew, great chair. I love the changes you made. More videos we enjoy your your content. Thanks Scott

Wow Drew, you knocked it out of the park with this gorgeous project. We’ll done sir!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
I love how the whole thing is held together by one flathead screw.
This video scared me into thinking my life is too short to build one of these. Or… I need to buy more tools so I can speed up the process. Option B it is!! Rockler tools, I’m thinking.
Love the glider option. Very nicely done, sir.
Thanks very much!

Phew, we almost missed out on the flat head screw. Glad you got it in there I love it
I love your videos. Especially your sense of humor! And yes, you would've caught a lot of grief if you had not used a flat head. Love how you snuck it in to the credits! Keep up the good work.
Whew! That was a close one! :)
I'm definitely sitting in that when I come over next
For sure, buddy! :)
Fantastic work! Looks like I've got a new project to start on. Been looking into making some Adirondack chairs and now I've found the ones!
Go for it!
Awesome job Drew, that is one on the best redesigns of an Adirondack chair I've seen and the look on your face was great when you knew it was right
I was so pleased! :)
Cool modifications to the project. Something to build for next father's day next year
Right on!
Aww, how sweet that you made one for you AND one for the shop foreman!
Had to. :)
I strongly suggest using a compression bit for template routing. You'll get no tear out and way less risk of catching.
I agree. They didn't have anything like that available so I just went with what they had
12:20 aww look at you being all comfy in the chair! And it didn't violently fold up and pinch you inside so I think the remodel is a success!
Thanks, I appreciate that
Beautiful fresh take on a venerable design! Bravo Drew
Thank you kindly!
The fart sounds NEVER disappoint!!! I really liked the extra wet one at the end. 🤣🤣
Oh yeah…. Thanks for the flat head screw. Another giggle!
Haha!
Awesome video. Always have to stick around at the end for the "Crap"s.
😆 There's always a few
One more modification could be made, cup holders. Need somewhere to put that cold drink. Great looking chairs. Well done!
It's illegal to drink and glide
Great build and great video.
So I get to the end of the build part and I am not seeing what I am looking for. I am thinking I have to watch it again to see where you snuck it in. I decide to watch the bloopers before I re-watch the video and low and behold I found the flat head screw! Thank you !
I almost forgot it. :)
Happy for the flat head screw at the end! Thanks!!
You're welcome!
Yes, I am very happy about the one flathead screw. 🙂
Really nice chair, Drew. I'm surprised your neighbor didn't have those glider brackets laying around so Rockler didn't have to supply them. I wish Rockler sold them in stainless instead of plated.
Bill
I've never seen a stainless set. I bet they'd look sharp
They look awesome!!!
Thanks! :)
Great design - well done!
Many thanks!

Thanks 👍
Beautiful chairs! Thanks for sharing…. I’ll be making some this weekend!
Thanks so much, Greg! Send me some pics once you've done it!
Your videos never disappoint! And I always look forward to the outtakes. 😂
Glad you like them! Thanks!
Had to wait for the outtakes to see the flathead screw be added. I was getting worried you didn't add one! The chairs came out lovely.
Thanks!!
Very happy for the flat head to be put in there.
😉
Happy,Happy,Joy,Joy!
Great job Drew! Those turned out fantastic. I know you have them sitting facing the neighbors house. I read your wife’s lips and could see her saying, “Gees. Why is he so mad, and throwing his hands in the air!?”

In looking at the photo of you sitting in the chair the arms look a bit high. Has anyone who has actually sat in the chair wished for the arms to be a smidge lower?

About $100 per chair to make. I could easily sell them for $550 a piece.
I love your comedy in your videos . the chair is something I want to build.
Go for it!
Awesome job Drew! Those turned out amazing.

Overall a very unique and beautiful project. If there is a drawback, you didn’t use any unnecessary walnut! But the ebony stain makes up for it.
