Folding Adirondack chair plan? - goaliedad - 06-07-2017 I have been using the NYW plan for Adirondack chairs and love it. However, I can see the value of folding chairs. Does anyone have a great plan? Preferably similar to the NYW. RE: Folding Adirondack chair plan? - jlanciani - 06-08-2017 I've built a bunch using the Lee Valley plans; http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.aspx?p=44835&cat=1,46158,46162 They are as comfortable as any Adirondack chair and straight forward to build. They fold easy enough but as expected they are still fairly bulky when folded. RE: Folding Adirondack chair plan? - Paladin - 06-08-2017 I built the Leigh Valley ones also. Very heavy and awkward to move, even when folded. Worst part...they sit really low to the ground. I mean WAY low. Knowing this, it should be easy to adjust in the building process, but I would not use the plans as you get them. As a matter of fact, I bought extra hardware packets and screws for more chairs and did not use them. PM me if you might want to discuss taking some of this off my hands. RE: Folding Adirondack chair plan? - jteneyck - 06-08-2017 Look for "Muskoka Chair" plans; you'll find them on-line.  That's what a folidng Adirondack chair is really called.  John RE: Folding Adirondack chair plan? - MsNomer - 06-08-2017 I know this folding chair isn't an Adirondack, but does anyone know where its plan can be found? Should be a cinch to build. It was very comfortable. There are matching tables: RE: Folding Adirondack chair plan? - goaliedad - 06-08-2017 MsNomer- I saw a you tube video for that type of chair. I will see if I can find it The Leigh Valley chair might be a good starting point. Paladin- I might talk to you about the hardware. Thanks RE: Folding Adirondack chair plan? - goaliedad - 06-08-2017 Carolyn, search you tube for "how to make a folding cedar lawn chair". This is a very good video with deminsions This is called a Kentucky stick chair. There are a lot of you tubes if you search that name RE: Folding Adirondack chair plan? - Paladin - 06-08-2017 OK, but do it soon. I'm moving to St. Louis soon and my wood working hobby is a goner.
