Hello, I'm Dave Brown - a woodworker,
designer, and proprietor of Woodworking Den Inc. and Furniture Den.
Thousands of people have purchased these plans over the last few years, people
interested in building the most comfortable Adirondack chairs possible.
Design Focus
Our Adirondack plans start with the
historical design, with adaptation to satisfy
3 important goals: to be very
comfortable, beautiful, and durable.
Comfortable: Seat
curvature is critical to how an Adirondack chair feels. You could throw a
cushion on any outdoor chair, but real design quality is revealed by a seat
curvature which is good without a cushion, one which conforms to the body while
also not being too bucketed. Excessive seat curvature can give one a
feeling of being "socked in" to the back of the chair. You should feel
free to move around slightly as you sit. Some Adirondack designs have a
flat back, with no curvature at all, while others may be excessively bucketed.
Excess back curvature can make you feel a little bit like you're sitting in a
barrel. Our back curvatures are designed to conform to your body while
allowing for plenty of arm movement, and moving around as you sit.
These chairs are designed to be
universally comfortable, rather than for only people of average height and
weight.
Beautiful:
An Adirondack chair must bebeautiful; otherwise, why not simply put a couple of
plastic chairs out. Adirondack chairs on the porch make a statement of
calm to the world passing by, and a display of your woodworking hobby.
A good design will offer years worth of satisfaction whether you are sitting in
the chairs or simply looking at them. Our designs are intended
to be visually aesthetic, so please follow the patterns closely for
the best outcome.
Durable: By use of thick wood, and by using
notched front 3 x 3 legs, our chair designs have tested to hold a substantial
amount of weight without breaking. Durable by design, their strength also
depends on lumber grade and grain. The lumber mainly used in the chair
designs, 5/4" x 6" select Western Red Cedar, a commonly available
material at
lumber/hardware stores for patio deck construction. For long
life we recommend applying deck sealer once per year.
What's Included
You'll receive full sized patterns
that can easily be traced onto wood for precise cuts. Also, an exploded
diagram, materials list, and several pages of detailed instructions are
included. A layout grid is not included because it's better to find
the grain and quality of lumber at every section, rather than be influenced to
include all sections of wood to satisfy a pre-set layout scheme, regardless of a
section's desirability. For this reason, our instructions call for about
10-15% extra lumber. We want everyone to be happy, so there is a full refund for
anyone who wants to return the unused patterns within 90 days, for any reason.
Thanks for

Breeze have slightly more curvature in the back than the Cape Cod'r.
