Today we put a spar urethane finish on the Best selling Project of All Time - the Ultimate Adirondack Chair
This truly is how to make money woodworking!
This video is about how I made money, and advice I have given others on how to make money doing woodworking. I am centering the video around a project build because that will make it more interesting. It also happens to be a very important project for making money. I actually paid my way through college by doing woodworking, and I have also helped many others do the same.
The build itself is the Ultimate Adirondack Chair that I designed myself. It is very comfortable since it consists of compound curves for the back and seat. Yet even with these curves it is quite easy to build.
One of the Best Features is that this chair looks identical to an Adirondack chair, yet it sits at a proper chair height, and can even be used at a table. Older folks, or anyone with knee issues can get in and out of this chair as easy as a dining chair. This solves the only real dilemma the Adirondack ever had. It is now perfect!
I have also designed the set of plans to allow the end maker to use any lumber from ¾” thick to big box store lumber that is 1-1/2” thick, and regardless of lumber thickness, it does not affect the plan or dimensions at all.
