Folding Adirondack Chair

I've always been intrigued by Lee Valley's Veritas "Adirondack Plus" folding chair plan, so I bought it.  The drawings are dead-on!  

I started by cutting out the patterns from the drawings and using my bandsaw, I made templates out of 1/4" hardboard for each piece. I then traced the templates onto each rough-cut board, and back to the Bandsaw again to further shape the pieces.  Using a pattern bit on my router, I then cleaned up all the pieces.

Assembled, it all fits and folds up quite nicely.  All I need to do now is stain it.

I look forward to sitting on it by the pool with a cold one!!
