About Jakes Chair
The Chair Was Created
Out of Necessity …
A comfortable Adirondack chair for a “good-sized” man was designed that also fits and feels like home for smaller or normal sized people. This resulted in the most comfortable Adirondack chair design that the internet has ever seen.

The Secrets of A Successful Build
As one who has built many of this chair, I can tell you there are a handful of secrets to success with this design. Some of these secrets, I wish I had understood the first time I tried my hand at the build.
Practice on Scrap
Try your hand at the first build on scrap or inexpensive wood. You will make mistakes and have improvements.
Take Your Time
It is easy to try and speed through this build, but take the time to get it right and you won’t regret it.
Use the Right Stock
Use quality stock that will handle the environment you need for your chairs. You don’t want to rebuild these in only a few years because you chose the wrong lumber.
Invest in Your Tools
You don’t have to have expensive tools to make these chairs well, but if you will ever use any of the suggested tools again, it may be worth the investment to improve the chairs’ quality
