Child's Adirondack Chair and Settee

A longtime favorite among Woodworker's Journal readers, this chair/settee project is sure to thrill young people in your life.

By John English

I must confess ... I'm something of a plan pack rat.

Great looking woodworking plans have a way of getting tucked away, never again to see the light of day. Some time back, I realized that I had stashed away some old "favorites" from the Journal's early years and this little Adirondack settee was on the top of my pile. I mentioned it to editor Rob Johnstone over lunch one day, and he said I wasn't the only one who liked that plan. It's one of the most popular projects in the entire Woodworker's Journal archive!'

Rob asked me to reprise the popular project for this magazine but, like most woodworkers who build projects from plans, I simply couldn't resist adding a few touches of my own. The result was a Spanish cedar chair/settee designed to be left outdoors. Whenever you want to switch from individual chairs to a settee with a center table, it's a simple matter of unscrewing a few countersunk brass bolts from their threaded inserts. Then you use the same bolts to reassemble the set in its new configuration.
