For more than a century, the Adirondack chair has been synonymous with casual but elegant outdoor lounging. I've updated this American classic with a modern slat design that recalls George Nelson's 1940s platform bench, but retains the original's low-slung comfort. I also left ample room on the armrests for beverages and snacks.
The most efficient way to build this chair is to mill all the parts first before completing the joinery and then to assemble the piece. This avoids having to switch back and forth between your table saw's ripping blade and the stacked dado set, which you'll use to cut the half-lap joints.
Don't have a dado set? Don't worry—you can complete the joinery without one. Use a handsaw, miter saw, or table saw to make the shoulder and relief cuts at the correct depth, then remove the waste with a sharp, flat chisel. |
