January's project was to build Adirondack chairs. In 2015, N and I put together kits, but this time we were building them from scratch, using an existing chair as a template. I have the most awesome basement workshop for projects. It's large and empty, with lots of pegboards and workbenches. N brought over his table saw, and together with my miter and jig saws, we had lots of different ways to cut up wood.

Very impressive!
IMPRESSED! Space has its benefits.
There's a lot to be said for teamwork.
The chairs are beautiful. You and N are prepared for warmer weather.
Oh, wow! They turned out great!!! Did you save the patterns for the wood so you don't have to disassemble a chair when Kevin and I decide we want a few?
Yet again, I feel like we learned a lot from making them that will probably be lost. I also didn't make templates... :(. How can we record this for the future? Is sketch-up overkill? I started it, but since we were working from an existing chair, I didn't feel like making all of the curves. I also think the cut list was useful along with its numerous greek letters...
