A senior senior down the road asked if I would help him build a couple
of Adirondack / Jake style chairs for he and his wife. He said that the
ones they had tried we too deep or high and that his wife could not
easily get out of the chair. Any ideas for a design would be helpful and
does anyone have a working link for Jake's Chair? Thanks in advance, JG
Sorry Digger,
I foolishly forgot to mention that the "Stamp" had to be removed for email.
Cheers, JG

"Jake's" is the ugliest Adirondack I've seen, other than the
fish-shaped ones.

This is a typical problem with bad Adirondacks. Keep the seat flat
and get the heights right. If you're making them for the more elderly,
then they might need to be even higher and less reclined.
The _best_ design I've seen for an Adirondack, absolutely bar none,
was a FWW article (May / June 1999).

http://www.freeww.com/chairs.html Never heard of a "Jake's Chair." My uncle
Jake was given the chair, but I don't think that's what you mean. :-)

The Adirondack chair Norm Abram built on the New Yankee Workshop addresses
the 'low seat' specifically. It was one of the stated complaints he
addressed with his design.
