Hello,
This was my first major project for me. I would like to thank you for your plans that I found very helpful. My chair has a plaque on the upper back brace which reads"Made in Canada by Grampa D" -2008
We're expecting our first Grandchild this year in August.
It will be very comfy holding the baby.
Thank You

I found these plans very easy to follow. I used western red cedar. It took me about 5 hours per chair. My wife loves them.
I also built a matching table. Thanks for the great website.

Just completed my first two chairs from the excellent plans. I used some mahogany I acquired years ago.
I fitted a wedge between the arms and upper rear support as I only used single thickness arms.

Hi, Thank you for the wonderful plans. I really enjoy making the Adirondack chairs. I make them with pressure treated wood for legs and bottom and with pine for rest, I have made for 14 so far and give them to friends and family as gifts.

Hello from Upstate New York my fellow wood workers !
Owning a construction firm I started creating items for my wife that she and I wanted in our home
(Entertainment Center, Dinning Room Table and Chairs, etc). Only being 30 minutes away from the
Adirondack Mountains we are always on an adventure in our spare time.
Going to the Adirondack Museum in the summer last year we discovered these nice rustic chairs.

Here is a picture of one of the chairs. You may use the picture as you wish.

Thanks for the plans!
I built a couple of these chairs last year and they are a real hit with everyone who sits in them.

Hello from Glasgow Scotland just finished the chair and its looking
very smart with its new coat of olive green preservative. apart from
misreading the chair frame angle of 106deg. I cut it at 160deg. which
turned the side frames into the back and front stretchers so all was
not lost! and a bit of a struggle at the final assembly "only one pair
of hands im afraid"it turned out great I would recommend this project
to anyone now for the two seater version and some decent weather to try
them out so thanks again for everything . Danny Fay Scotland
I have just finished my chair and I am stoked with the results! thanks to you guys!

This is a Fabulous Project For Me. I've seen this chair being made on
all sorts of programs and wanted so badly to be able to make one
myself. Now I can. Thanks for the plan.

I suppose one can't complain about a free set of plans, eh? And I
shouldn't, they are excellent, and the drawings a brilliant addition.
It's just that those of us who don't think in metric.... are s.o.l. I
note that your new porch swing plans are in both metric and inches and
for one, I would vote for having all the plans in both, if you could
manage it.
You might want to mention on the Adirondack Chair Plans site that
Adirondack is a huge national park in upstate New York, popular with
American titans of industry in the 19th century, and still very
unpopulated in the winter months, and known for both its rustic
furniture, as well as for beautiful mountains, lakes and rivers. A
great place to visit, because of its remote location, even in the summer
it is not crowded.
All the best,

I have completed 2 of these chairs and what fun I had doing so. The chair
are in my tv room because of its comfort. Have orders to make more so it
goes to show great plan, great project and great comfort.

I had been itching for about a year to make one of these, I now have completed two, and plan to make a half dozen more for the family members, everyone that has seen them, then sits for a spell, just love them. Found the plan very easy to follow, and the chair assembly was/is a piece of cake.

Greetings from sunny South Africa - this time from the whale watching capital of the world : HERMANUS !!
I have also just completed the Adirondack chair using - as a basis - your fantastic FREE plan ! And what
A beautiful chair it turned out to be !! I am really so pleased with my Adirondacks ( I made two ! )
After some thinking, looking at pictures of other Adirondacks, and planning in my head, I made the following
Changes to your basic plan :
6 Backslats instead of 4
Raised the Leg to 600
Instead of using a 45mm arm with an angle at the back, I opted for a 45mm upper back frame cut at an
angle and fitted below the arm at the back
A more flowing pattern for the arm brace
Increased the chair frame size to 180 X 30 X 1000
The above changes made for a really handsome chair - and I am rightly pleased ! Thank you, Buildeazy, for
Helping me with a lovely project !
Please put me on your mailing list for forthcoming free plans !

I have just finished building my first Adirondack chair, based on your
specs. Your design was the best, by far, of all the designs I was able
to locate on the internet
I have to tell you that it turned out beautifully. The proportions were
just about right. The only change I would suggest is that the chair be
narrower by about 2-3".
Thanks for furnishing such detailed drawings.
