Adirondack Chaise Lounge
THIS IS AN X- LARGE Adirondack Chaise Lounge
FOR MORE RELAXED SEATING
CUT SHEET
enclose is the cut sheet for all you material cuts
I used pressure treated 1"T x6" W x 6 ' L Material so it can last longer and later it was varnish 2++ coats their after + A THICKER 2"x4" plank for the backrest bottom cross brace
you will need a hole setter -(pre-drill)COUNTER SINK and ss screws 1 ΒΌ" long is good
were the front legs get attached to the back legs I used threaded screws and nuts with washer and eye lets rings for the screws heads - so everything is smooth
cut all material for
the radius used 3" is good for everything you can go to 4 " if you wish
on the armrest fronts
when done with cutting everything -sand and smooth all surfaces
get you router ready and router - use a 1/4" rounding router bit
( don't use a roman ogee that leaves a sharp edge )
mark all outside items facing outwards and up with colored tape - and make sure you
mirrored the arms rest - the back legs - the backrest slats - because there is left and right
for the stiffeners, you can do both sides
Step # 2 Cut the Arm Rest
sand and router edges
Step#3 If You Are Doign More Than One Chair
cut 2 sets sand and router edges
Step#4 Front Legs and Brakets
front legs and brackets sand and router all edges
except for the bracket keep inside long edge unrouted - it will be secured there and glued
Step#5 Assemble the Front Legs and Brackets
assemble the front legs and brackets as shown in the picture
do that too to the second set you are doing
Step # 6 Bridge Cross Suport
cut and sand router only the curved area -
don't router the straight area
assemble the back legs and the seat slats
use a loose peg piece of material 1/4 for spacer between the slats
pre-drill and its best to make a template so everything looks perfect
I have at least 3 drills ready with bits and driver heads so I am not wasting time
changing over between them -- as shown a divider is also hand so you holes all look the same at the same spacing but nothing beats a template -made out of metal or scrap wood
number 1 back brace
number 2 the legs
number 3 the slats
Setup # 8 Back Fan
sand and router the fans as to the size and shape provided
this will be number 8 and number 9
the full fan is shown before cutting it to desired shape
Step # 9 Frontlegs Assembley
assemble the front legs to the back legs - with screws and nuts use washers on the inside
Step # 10 Samble the Back Brace and the Slats
assemble the arms - then the back brace you may need to start using clamps as extra hands at this stage
make sure you pre-drill - so no splitting or cracks will start damaging your work
then start adding the back support slats that you have cut
number one chair assembled
then followed by the second one
if the wood is nice and dry than light sanding if not let it fully dry out
Step # 12 Adding Decortive Accents and Accessories
Accessories and accents
I had the idea to embed shells and metal sea object - but I settled for
Brass patina rich shells for one chair and the starfish for the other
you can do nice colored sea images on the back too like a lighthouse - fish - sail boats the sky is the limit or just leave it alone
then after 2 weeks it was varnished clear ----as the wood will age to a honey color on its own
you can also tint it with colors your choice your chair ---- as shown above
Step 13 Foot Rest Was Added for Extra Comfort
I will post the cutout list for that later
