Here comes the next project:
Norm Abram’s Adirondack Chair
The original plans and cutting list can be found here:

They were released in Popular Woodworking, issue August 2005.
Since I cannot (yet) work with imperial dimensions, I transfered everything into the metric system.

Boy, this forum is buggy as hell when it comes to using the link-tags ….
If you want to use the lists, check everything again. I did my best to get everything right though.
During this project, there will be some edge planing and more importantly lots of curves and waves. Due to the limitations of my “workbench” I came up with an idea, how to fix the pieces to the bench, so I can work on them safely.
Here are two pictures of the general setup. I might cut out a corner of the front and the back of the top beam, so the two clamps that fix the beam to the bench will not protude over the the top of the beam.
With this setup, I should be able to clamp an adjustable planing stop to the beam and secure the board with two clamps.
