Intermediate Woodworking - Adirondack Chair

The Adirondack chair is a simple, classic American chair design that offers many opportunities for variation and creativity. This class will use one design, but will spend some time exploring some of the ways to vary the design in making their current or future chairs. No woodworking experience is required.

This is intended to be a family friendly workshop. A parent and child (age 12 to 17) may attend for the cost of one ticket/one chair.

This class will take place in two 3-hour sessions on a single day, with time for a lunch break in the middle. Participants will get an introduction to the Adirondack chair, learn how to use the tools involved in building their chair, and then fabricate, assemble, and finish their chairs. At the end each participant will have made their own Adirondack chair.

Additional class policies are available on our website:

Should I bring anything with me to class? Everything you'll need to complete the projects will be provided including any nessecary safety equipment. If you have safety glasses or hearing protection you prefer to wear, please feel free to bring them along. (Safety glasses must meet ANSI Z87 standards (most do).)

Can I bring my own wood to use? We'll supply all the wood you'll use to complete you cutting board. Trust us, it'll be some really awesome stuff. Save that wood at home for your next project!

What should I wear ? Plan to wear comfortable clothing that you're prepared to get dirty. Avoid loose-fitting clothing and dangling jewelry such as neck chains or bracelets. Shoes should be closed-toed (no sandals or flip-flops).

I have a question that's not answered here. Can you help me? Of course, just send us an email at [email protected]!
