Never enough planter plans! I think that we have probably featured more than 10 planter plans over the past few years.  We have shared planter boxes, window boxes, planters with a bench among the plans.   The reason for this is similar to the reason that we have featured more than 10 styles of Adirondack [...]

If you are a fan of a classic Adirondack chair, you will probably be a fan of the “Westport Chair”. The Westport chair has a look that originated in 1903 by Thomas Lee.  The chair is beautiful in its simplistic look.  It just screams Adirondack camp (the expensive kind) when I see it. This wood [...]

How would you like to build an Adirondack Chair entirely from pallets?  This isn’t a typical pallet project that essentially looks like some screwed together pallets at the end.  This is a nice Adirondack chair that happens to be built from lumber that you can typically extract from a few pallets.  In fact this project [...]

folding-adirondack-chair-diagram folding-adirondack-chair-material-cut Over the past 15 years I have personally built over 100 Adirondack chairs.  I don’t want to look back and count, but the number might exceed 200 chairs.  During that time, even with that large number of Adirondack chairs, I haven’t built a single folding Adirondack chair.  Looking back, that seems silly.  A folding chair [...]

Many of our readers have asked about Adirondack rockers over the years.  An Adirondack rocker is simply an Adirondack chair with a rocker affixed to the legs.  It shouldn’t be overly complicated, but when searching, I think many of us get hung up on finding a “rocker”.  I would suggest that you find your favorite [...]

The following set of Adirondack chairs are what I would consider “easy to build”.  These chair plans are from Lowe’s creative ideas and are a beautiful addition to any patio or yard.  I love the simplicity of the design.  The arms and lower runners are essentially a box with the seat being an additional box that ties [...]

Adirondack chairs are wonderful.  They are a style that never seems to go wrong and will last for years if built properly.  The biggest negative that I hear about the function of an Adirondack chair is that it is difficult for seniors (or those with back issues) to get out of.  You will literally have [...]

The following plans are a for an Adirondack Glider.  The author (Chris Baylor) also refers to the item as an Adirondack rocker.  Either way, it is a terrific plan in a classic Adirondack style.  I came across these plans while looking for a taller version of an Adirondack chair for a visitor to WoodworkCity.com.  Adirondack [...]

When I was a budding entrepreneur (does that ever change), I decided to build an Adirondack chair based on a plan in a woodworking magazine. I built the chair and immediately thought that I should sell the chairs. Before doing that, I decided it would make more sense to recreate a version of the plan [...]
