    FYI

    I do a lot of resawing.
    For anything wider than ~3" I use this:

    for bigger stuff....6-10" couldn't do without it.

    I needed to make some little stops for a jig I'm working on.
    The plans show these little stop blocks being cut on a table saw.
    Requires 4 fence/blade setups. I cut these out on the bandsaw
    in about 10 min. It is such a great tool.

    I painted the chairs today! They are maroon, do they look brown?

    Kinda look brown. It would be interesting to see what colour they show when they are in the sunlight.

    Brown is very popular now.

    Dale, what kind/size of wood did you use for the Adirondack chairs?

    How do you round all the edges?

    I used all treated wood. 5/4 decking for the back legs and a few other parts, 1” ground contact treated for the rest. I want them to last. I can send you templates if you want them.

    Just say the word and I will send them to you, no problem! If you use different plans make sure they have a curved back.

    Do you sell these chairs?

    I just started advertising them on CL. Right now I’m making a bunch for friends and relatives, some practice runs. I am also making jigs so I can assemble them quicker.
