Building a Chair

So, this week I have been participating in a program at KVCC where we are building an Adirondack Chair. It is very cool when you have the right tools! All was going well but I started to get impatient and I moved quickly. I’m not sure if this was the issue or not, but my chair is a bit crooked. 🙂

I think it will be fine to sit in, but it is certainly not perfect. All the slats in the back are going to be straight up and down and not flared like a fan.

I guess it will have character!

Here are pictures from the building!


Carefully grinding that edge with a router!


Smooth as glass!


Me posing with my router…that was actually easier to do than I thought!


Elizabeth and her favorite band saw!


Our most excellent instructors!


Mark, holding the parts list…


Chairs…part way done!


First to finish, and sit, in his chair!


My finished chair…I just need to take the little nubs off that fill in the screw holes!


All the chairs….and….


…all the builders!
