    A pair of Adirondack's from the shop

    Just finished applying the Thompson Water Seal earlier today. I started last Saturday and finished the assembly Sunday night but did not have a decent weather to apply the water seal until yesterday. Did three coats of the water seal, the last coat was applied just this morning. It is still not dry enough to sit on but my wife loves them. She actually wanted me to build a table so I'll start on that tomorrow. Thanks for looking!

              There's a total of 17 pics attached on the thread which includes pics of the finished pieces. Does it not show all of them? I can see all of them when I'm viewing the thread. Let me know or I can just attach a link to a picasa slideshow.

              Kind regards,
              Chris

                  I can only see pictures 8 and 9 the rest are missing. The two pictures I can see look really good though.

                      Just realized that some of the pics were not loading when using internet explorer. I've uploaded the pics via URL instead of directly pasting the link on the insert image icon.

                          Very nicely done, and it's good to see your block plane in the pics! There are many designs of this classic available, but I really like the one you chose. A couple of these chairs are on my "someday list"....I'll probably use cedar also. Nice work!

                              Beautiful in both work and results, Chris. And if you have any wide rear end buddies... looks like those "babies" got em covered.. or vice-versa.

                                      Thank you for the kind words! These chairs were made out of Cedar.

                                              Nice work, almost too nice to sit on. I'll bet they're good and comfy, too.

                                                          They look great! I'm thinking of building a set also. what plans did you use, if any?
