Fun to see your take on the same build, Paul. And for all those asking, no this was not a collaboration, and yes we built practically the exact same build at the same time. It happens. And yes, we talked about it beforehand when I saw his teaser post on IG and he thought it'd be funny to do the same thumbnail I did...which it is. But don't think for a second either one of us ripped each other off, even if Paul's humor might lead you to think so 😀
I really do like the look of this chair. I need to build 2-4 chairs for family members who are heavier, and I worry a little if my plastic Adirondack chairs might fail. I find it interesting that your paper templates cost 50% as much as the MDF ones. It makes the MDF ones seem a super bargain. Just to be clear, I found the MDF templates to be very fairly priced, and I want to show them to my husband. This seems like a really good over-the-winter project to be set for next summer’s entertainment.
I bought the template and the instructions as well, wow!!!!! What a chair I have made 4 this past week. I would recommend this chair for anyone wanting to get into selling chairs, perfect chair, thank you!!
I was just thinking this. I’ve seen it a few times, these big guys all do the same projects around the same time. Some secret algorithm info that are privy to 😂
I just bought the digital plans. Your plans and .pdf instructions are top notch! Very well prepared and well thought out, can't wait to make one this weekend!
Thank you so much for the great feedback!! I put a ton of time into them, so it's awesome to hear when it's appreciated. Good luck with the build! Definitely send some photos when it's done.
Paul, beautiful design to an already fantastic chair! Of course I love the Laguna tools! Not to mention that view from your workshop! I love to see your shop sometime.
Did you and Fix This Build That plan this? He posted a video like this one 5 days ago. Haha. I have watched both and enjoyed both. Awesome work as always.
Hey Paul, I first started watching you when my 5 year old grandson and I stumbled across a show called Making Fun. He now thinks anything I make should fart, poop or puke. I just wanted to give you props for all the great videos, ideas, and humor. Problem is, when I have your UA-cam videos playing while I'm in the shop, very little gets done. Just wanted to say thanks for all the hours of enjoyment! Now... back to taking apart that pile of pallets in my driveway.
Love it. I've been tweaking "Part H" to make it shorter for my stubby legs and to get it a touch more more upright. I want to build a few at barstool height so we can sit and still see over the railings of our dock. Just ordered the new MDF templates and a couple hardware packs. THANK YOU!
great stuff, i use awesome too, built a willow style chair from the tree in my back garden, but when it came down to the final cinch down, the whole thing went skew wiff. ordered some more awesome from amazon prime.
I made two of your originals! Look forward to sitting in them every summer while enjoying a cup of coffee or reading a book. I have the BX14 but that jointer.... Now that is a dream machine! Super jealous. Congrats! 😊
I've been waiting for this one! Looking forward to getting my templates this week so I can start building some for fall firepit season. Thanks for sharing!
Now we need you to do some "high back bar chairs" in this style and, as a bonus, they would be great to sit in with a beverage on that deck looking out over the marina. Just throwing that out there! #makemoremakingfun😁
👏we love an inclusive design! I love these style chairs and super hopeful I can either build this (long shot) or convince my furniture making friend to lol
Thanks so much!! I think my last 2 videos were some of my best work ever, but I do try to make each video better than the last so that I'm always improving and learning.
I just had older family members mention that it was tough to get up/down from my Adirondacks, so this is gonna be a GREAT new project for me! templates on order!
Hey Paul, waiting for the epoxy to dry on the 1st chair. Have to tell you the MDF templates and plans are the best I've encountered to date. A few mistakes were made during the 1st chair build so the remaining ones will go easier. Love the vids too!
Seems like Adirondack chairs are the latest woodworking hit as a few people are making them - you, Brad Rodriguez, and Drew Fisher. I love it when this happens in the UA-cam community as I can see everyone's take on it. So far, yours seems like the more comfortable version, and I really like your editing style.
Mine's the best because I'm the OG Adirondack guy haha. Brad's is nice and solid too, but I haven't seen Drew's yet! Did he publish it yet or just talk about it? Totally unplanned, I think it's just the right time of year.
@@JackmanWorks Ok. I can’t let that go. Yours are awesome. There’s no doubt. But Norm is the OG Adirondack guy. Everyone’s subsequent design owes a debt to him. Oh, your videos are vastly superior!!
@@JackmanWorks yours is the best. Brad's doesn't have as nice curves I feel (but still nice). Drew only talked about getting started with it in his last podcast. So might be a while before we see it. Also, your video (as always) has humour I really appreciate.
I'm excited to see Drew's take on it! The curves definitely complicate things and I assume Brad was going for a simpler design, but I think the curves are totally worth it, the chair really hugs you.
Paul, this is an awesome idea and plan to build a set after we rebuild our deck next spring. I'm curious to know if one can build these on a budget with standard 5/4 pressure treated pine deck boards without any glue-ups?
I bought the original plans to make the chair. (77 year old) and made two. Love the update, it looks like they might be on the shopping list. I don't have the luxury of all your tools though. Great video keep them coming. Bill M8-) Haddington Scotland
No matter what varnish I use I find that I always have to refinish in a year or two, so these days I just seal the bottom of the legs and let them weather.
That's a good tactic too. Clear coat outside is always a battle and takes maintenance, I just like the luxurious fancy wooden boat vibes that it gives off, I just have to pay for that with my time to make sure it stays looking that way.
Great video! Well done ! I like all the magic....Will red cedar hold up as well as oak? I live in Southern Ore. where its wet and rainy for 6+ months of the year.Will the finish used get chalky after a few years of 100+ degree summer?
I was going to build the Kitchissippi upright Adirondack from Lee Valley, but i like this design better - particularly the big rear legs. Question - what wood did you use? If it's cedar, why use varnish and not an oil-based finish?
The Kitchissippi is a cool design too, the only problem with that is the main seat/back leg piece which seems hard to achieve. I used white oak for this one, my past chairs have been made out of western red cedar, but it's just so expensive now. I like the varnish finish just because it reminds me of the shiny finish on fancy boats and it feels luxerious. Oil finish or just leaving it raw to weather is totally valid too!
Hello Jack I'm a beginner in this area and you're one of the most professional carpenter I've seen . I like your job . I like your humor .... Can you speak a little more slow ...? I'm from Caribbean. Excellent work .....congrats.....!! I'm already waiting for your next video .
This is probably going to sound dumb but please, hear me out. You should get yourself a big large format laser. Then instead of physical templates you could actually throw the pieces of wood in the laser and run a quick pass that would create the outline right in the wood. Just a thought. 😁
i'm currently in the process of making your original design from pallet wood laminations. I'm going to download this design too and try it out! It needs a matching table!
I really can't wait to see that chair! I've always wanted to do a pallet version, but there's just no way to get around it being a bunch of laminations. It'll look epic though!
To me an adirondack chair is just the visual style of the seat slats with the vertical back slats, so this isn't a classic adirondack chair, it's an iteration of an adirondack chair. Fun fact: the original adirondack chair was actually built with a single wide plank for the seat and a single wide plank for the back, so what you think of as an adirondack chair isn't really an adirondack chair either ;)
It's my understanding that the Adirondack chair gets it name from the Adirondack mountains. And was designed to use on sloping ground that would elevate the rear of the chair and straighten up the back. It was never intended for use on a flat lawn or deck. Why folks without slopes would ever want one is beyond me. What you made, while not technically an Adirondack, is still a nice looking chair that anyone would like to have for those flat areas.
Hi. I bought your previous templates and built a chair for my father. He is however struggeling a bit to get in and off of it and I would love to buy the new templates for the new one. Can you ship to norway please? Best regards
I am considering taking this project on ... how much wood does a chair like this take? If I was shopping my lumber mill for cypress for instance... how do I know how much wood to buy?
Each chair takes 14 board feet of 4/4 lumber (7/8 finished thickness), minimum 5.5" wide, so if you use 4/4x6 (rough sawn) material, that's 28 linear feet
Before I order the templates for this, can you give me a brief list of boards needed to build this? Nothing specific, I was hoping for something like "Six 1"x4"x8'. Thanks
looks like an amazing build. Just one question have you thought about selling a digital file for those who have CNC's to make their own templates? I have the original Adirondack Chair from the River Shop. Still haven't built them because I haven't made my templates. What was the wood you used? Looks like White Oak. Thanks for the video.
Yep! The plans actually come with digital templates too, which is just SVGs saved in a PDF file, so you should be able to pull that info into your CNC software to cut it. I used white oak on these chairs and western red cedar on my previous chairs, but that's too pricey now.
Got my templates! They look great. Starting the build now and I have a question. Is there another way to connect the arm rest to the back support? One screw thru each side seems like a bit of a weak spot to me. I'm interested in any and all thoughts or suggestions.
Update, I ended up going with Norm's design for connecting the arm rests to the back support, I'm sure it would have been fine otherwise but I just love overcomplicating projects. The mdf templates and plans are really good, thanks Paul!
Your chair looks really good. So good that I want to learn more about it's construction. The problem is that your video is just a fast forward of you cutting and shaping with absolutely no dialog of info that we need to know about the build. I really don't need to watch yet another video of someone cutting lumber. The one good thing about this video is that you demonstrate and show off the chair at the beginning of the video. That is something that most UA-camrs do not do. You have to go to the end of their videos first to see of you are interested in their product and watching.
I have question for you about the epoxy. How and where do you lay out the pieces to dry? My mistakenly laid my pieces on strips of woods and the piece stick themselves to the wood and it was a mess.
It's an adirondack chair if the front is higher than the back for use on sloping ground, otherwise it's a 'chair'. If you use your chair on a slope, you'll fall off...
Definitely on my list! I don't like them as much because they aren't as rigid as the original, especially after years of use, but they definitely have their application. Maybe I'll get to tackle that this summer too!
@@JackmanWorks EXCELLENT Point On rigidity ! Yet SO MUCH easier to store away here in Northern Maine where winter comes early and leaves late. Big Thank You for all you do Love LOVE your channel !
Hugh, I think I see a problem here, and its the same thing that I see in every presentation of The Music Man... Wait a minute.... Sorry. Paul, I think I see a problem here, and its the same thing that I see in every presentation of Adirondack Chairs. The seat member is held up with only carriage bolts, and UNFAILINGLY, every Adirondack Chair I've ever sat in that has a few years on it, the carriage bolts are wallowed out and the chair structure suffers. I propose a tight fitting half lap joint so that the upright leg member itself is holding the weight, and the bolts are just keeping the chair together

Fun to see your take on the same build, Paul. And for all those asking, no this was not a collaboration, and yes we built practically the exact same build at the same time. It happens. And yes, we talked about it beforehand when I saw his teaser post on IG and he thought it'd be funny to do the same thumbnail I did...which it is. But don't think for a second either one of us ripped each other off, even if Paul's humor might lead you to think so 😀
I also drink nothing but Mountain Dew and Brad stole that idea from me too! He has a track record.
I thought I was going crazy. I hadn't watched yours yet, and thought I misremembered who made the video... Small world, yada yada.
So who is Antz and who’s A Bug’s Life? 😄
Would have been funnier if you'd traded thumbnails and released simultaneously...
This gave me serious deja vu
I really do like the look of this chair. I need to build 2-4 chairs for family members who are heavier, and I worry a little if my plastic Adirondack chairs might fail. I find it interesting that your paper templates cost 50% as much as the MDF ones. It makes the MDF ones seem a super bargain.

No connection, he could have seen me building this last month, but I don't think he did. He’s a faster editor than me 😂

the thumbnails are oddly similar
@@BradM1970 that part was deliberate lol

Did you and Fix This Build That plan this? He posted a video like this one 5 days ago. Haha. I have watched both and enjoyed both. Awesome work as always.
Nope, total accident 🤷♂️. I secretly think he was jealous of my awesome chair lol.
@@JackmanWorks Paul actually paid me royalties to use my thumbnail design. I now get a portion of his ad revenue which is awesome

Getting the tools upstairs looks fun. But can I come by and help when it comes time to push them out? I'll bring a bean bag for the ground.

Nice video and build. Just bought a paper template for myself and the mdf for my dad.

Nope, it’s better 😁
Looks great, Paul. Nicely done. Congrats on the new tools.
That sander hand over edit. Chefs kiss ❤
That took way longer than I’d like to admit 😂
Nice of Laguna to send you some new pallets.
And I guess the tools are kinda cool as well...

Thanks for the love!
You had me at "Snatch Block"
cuz I've been wondering about all that heavy lifting to the 2nd floor

Thanks Bruce! You're long legs would definitely make the first one tricky
Great build and enjoyable video as usual. Thanks for sharing

Paul, this is an awesome idea and plan to build a set after we rebuild our deck next spring. I'm curious to know if one can build these on a budget with standard 5/4 pressure treated pine deck boards without any glue-ups?
Definitely! The largest piece is 5.5" wide, so you can get all of these pieces out of 5/4x6 deck boards if you want.
@@JackmanWorks Awesome, thanks.

I really don't need to watch yet another video of someone cutting lumber. The one good thing about this video is that you demonstrate and show off the chair at the beginning of the video.

Take a look at 5:30 in the vid. Looks like strips of plywood with two45 degree cuts to create a ridge.
I cannot believe you said that to her haha.
What is the weight limit on the new chair?
I'm close to 300 and it handles that with no problem! I'd say as long as you fit between the arms it shouldn't have any problem holding you.

Yes, and for freakishly tall pregnant people, or freakishly tall preganant old people
How high is the seat from the ground? Would like to build some for balcony seating but want to make sure its tall enough to see over the railing.
The highest point of the seat (the front) is 19" off the ground and the lowest point (where you butt goes) is about 17"
In terms of lumber, roughly how much did this cost?
It takes about 14 board feet of lumber to build one of these, which in my case cost ~$80
What attachment do you have between the Makita Impact driver and the bit?
That’s the Insty Drive kit from Rockler, it’s great, I always keep it on my impact
Do you sell them?
I need 6
How do I get an electronic version of the design?
That's available on my website, here: www.jackmanworks.com/product/adirondack-dining-chair/
It's an adirondack chair if the front is higher than the back for use on sloping ground, otherwise it's a 'chair'. If you use your chair on a slope, you'll fall off...
The front is higher than the back still 😉
How come the other guy got bombed with “that’s not an Adirondack chair” comments. Doesn’t really seem fair.
I think he leaned into the adirondack chair slander a bit too hard haha
Simple as That!? 😅
I don’t know why anybody thought that trend was good. I’m glad it’s finally over
I know, eating tide pods was an odd trend
@@JackmanWorks oh did you make a video about that also. I’ll have to look back through your channel lol❤️
OK now folding PLEASE !!
Definitely on my list! I don't like them as much because they aren't as rigid as the original, especially after years of use, but they definitely have their application. Maybe I'll get to tackle that this summer too!
@@JackmanWorks EXCELLENT Point On rigidity ! Yet SO MUCH easier to store away here in Northern Maine where winter comes early and leaves late. Big Thank You for all you do Love LOVE your channel !
Hugh, I think I see a problem here, and its the same thing that I see in every presentation of The Music Man...
Wait a minute....
Sorry.
Paul, I think I see a problem here, and its the same thing that I see in every presentation of Adirondack Chairs.
The seat member is held up with only carriage bolts, and UNFAILINGLY, every Adirondack Chair I've ever sat in that has a few years on it, the carriage bolts are wallowed out and the chair structure suffers. I propose a tight fitting half lap joint so that the upright leg member itself is holding the weight, and the bolts are just keeping the chair together
