I am so happy to find these instructions for Adirondack Chairs. I like you, have been wanting these for a long time, but they have always been a bit too pricey for our budget. These instructions are a dream come true. Not only are they inexpensive to build, they look sturdy. Put those two elements together with our homesteading way of life and Adirondack chairs that are lightweight (to move when an iimpending storm is approaching) and you have a very happy me! Thank You so very much for sharing!

this is a great idea, I think I would soften up the lines with some curves. A saber saw would do the trick.
