rfm3 Everybody Loves Ray Carpal Tunnel Registered: 05/30/04 Posts: 25480 Loc: Guarding the West NY Border	I want to find a simple plan/instructions to make an Adirondack chair...but to use old skis as in this picture below Anyone have basic plans on how to build the basic chair and then substitute the skis? Keep in mind my carpentry skills are slightly worse then my plumbing skills _________________________ Ray Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

ront02769 Carpal Tunnel Registered: 03/03/04 Posts: 9737 Loc: New England	Actually would like to second the request for a GOOD chair and not just a suggestion to google for it. My son did the google thing and spent forever making the most uncomfortable chair ever existing. Tried it a SAECOND time same result. He is currently looking for a tried and true plan, so help would be nice. Ront

BillJeffy Don't Know Squat Carpal Tunnel Registered: 01/02/06 Posts: 7864 Loc: USA	. . I can't honestly say I've ever been in a comfortable adirondack chair.... I have since, however, seen one that converts to a table by removing the back and placing it between the armrests. Alas, couldn't find any plans for it, but here's some to peruse.... http://www.adirondacksource.com/woodworking_plans.html . _________________________ . .
