"AngiRonback" Chair

Excuse the messy garage, my one area to work in, and at one point I even lost my shoe!
Finally finished the Throne for Hub....After so many color choices, finally went with Martha Stewart Flat Black Eggshell and LOVE IT!!!
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!!
Beautiful curves by Bre!There's my shoe in the background!

Wider arms, at 90 degrees, to hold Beers, chips and salsa.

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.

Super waterproofed...going by the pool! Hopefully this will dry to a Satin finish

i'm going to make my pool loungers with the same curviness, and a pull out tray on the side for Starbux!
the bottom gap is neccessary...due to the curve and it looked really nice. I didn't push the board's together, I know wet butts will be in these chairs.
There you have it, made my own awesomeness happen!

  1. 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
