I didn't really have a plan this time, flew by the seat of my pants. I went through many plans, from Jake's Chair, to KnockoffWood.com, and though all the chairs were awesome, needed to make a few adjustments. After learning the basics of the Adironback chair, decided to make the "Angironback" version.
First, made the seat wider, with less curve....which by the way, all curves, from base, to back, to arm support and arms were drawn by the Exclusive Artist, Breanna, my baby! Had a lot of fun making it, and will be making more. Working on making a stencil, to put my beloved Patriots Logo on the front.
This gives a better idea of the variation in the size of the wood on the seat, I alt 1x2's with 1x4's because I love the look plain and simple.
As usual, kids said it looked better than the ones at the store....best compliment ever!!Worked Really hard on the finish, wanted it supersmooth, what I call...my "surfboard finish" Which requires primer, mult sanding, and mult coats of paint. Love it. This one shows the variation in the board sizes.
Hi Angie! I'm very interested in what ever measurements or plans you can share on this chair. Especially on the curved areas- do u have templates? Please email me if you get this, I love how you put your own twist on the original design! Thanks, Jennie
