Default Newbie needs plans for Adirondack chair

I am new to this group and really just starting to get interested in
woodworking. Does anyone know of some simple yet complete plans for an
adirondack chair. So far the best bet seems to be a chair called, "Jake's
Chair." Any suggestions/advice for a newbie???


If it's not too late to jump in on this I'd like to put in a big plug for
Norm Abram's plan in "New Yankee Workshop". I think it is actuall the
book "Classics From The New Yankee Workshop" that has these plans. I've
built 8 of these chairs and they've lasted for quite a few years. Theses
chairs are so comfortable that you could use them in the living room! I
can particularly recommend these plans for a new woodworker, as this is
what I started out with myself.

If you're feeling particularly confident you might also get the more
recent video and measured drawing for the Adirondack Loveseat from The New
Yankee Workshop. This project updated several things about the original
chair (such as countersunk and plugged screws in place of nails in many
places) which you could incorporate into the original plans.

Good luck!
