Outdoor Glider

Last year my wife and I stayed in Ft Lauderdale Fl. We ate a resturant that
had outdoor gliders that you were served on. The gliders were not suspended.
The glider had a base with a roler. The foot rest was part of teh base with
teh roller,when you pushed againstthe foot rest the chair / bench and table
would roll and teh rollers would go up a slight incline, Then when you
release gravity would bring you back, This was not a fast moving glider and
had only about1.5 feet of travel each side of center. Does anyone no where I
could get plans tobuild this type of glider?
Thanks,
Ed

That is exactly the glider I was refering to. Does anyone no were I can get
the plans to build it? All that is offered on this website is the kit.
Thanks

In the future, please remember that when young Grasshoppah
demands plans, he needs real, honest-to-goodness free plans.
No more. No less. Listen to the sound of one head smacking.
