2 Chairs, A Side Table And A Coffee Table

Another design, or set of plans if you prefer, that I found online. The design I followed was for the chairs as I have never made a chair before. I didn't want to build Adirondack chairs because all the Amish in my area are already doing that and I don't have a bandsaw for the fancy curves. I'd love to buy a bandsaw but don't really have room for it unless I did a major reconfiguration of my shop which is a 2 car garage. I'm probably a spoiled brat because most of my space is taken up by work benches including 2 benches in the middle that are each 8' x 4'. I need space.

Anyway these chairs are regular 2"x4" pine from a lumber yard. Pressure treated would make more sense and not really add significantly to the cost but one of my biggest concern was weight. Yes, these things are clunky and heavy but dammit they're as comfortable to sit in as almost any chair I ever sat in and they are going no where in the wind short of a tornado.

I have tweaked the design a few times to try a steeper recline angle but reverted back to the 5 degrees in the plan. My main plan tweak was raising the height. A lot. I'm 6'2" with decades of mileage on my knees. I HATE low to the ground chairs. Everything you see in the pic is regular pine except the side table is topped with cedar, just to be different.

I have this set listed on FB Marketplace for $350 for all 4 pieces, just add cushions. I would be happy to break the set up or add to it. If you see this and you're in the Mexico NY (Near Syracuse) area email me and stop to try them out.
