Sue would love something like that too. Thanks Carl, I used the following plans, but they are in German. If you have questions about the plans you can PM me. I followed the basic measurements in the description, except, I used threaded rod of 6 mm (M6) stainless steel and drilled the holes in the wood with 8 mm diameter. In all the construction took three days, it's a relatively easy build. Tipps & Tricks: Kentucky Stick Chair (senotto.de) You can buy this kind of foldable chair as well, for example in the Netherlands. Fieldchair | Weltevree - order now, free shipping within EU From this company I bought the sheepskin with a leather loop, to attach the skin to the chair.

DocRob Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 1 hour ago, GusMac said: Very impressive woodworking skills there Rob. At least you've got weather to enjoy them in. Softwood gets destroyed in about a season here Thanks Gus, in the moment we have a great summer, but we have harsh conditions here too, lots of humidity, wind, fog and then everything changes to dry heat, not perfect for softwood as well. I built some Adirondack chairs two years ago from a very durable wood, but I have to rework them this year. The new chairs are foldable and will be stored inside, when the weather turns bad. The new built sea view terrace is more a summer terrace, because there are cruel winds blowing in winter time and we will use the place for a winter barbecue only on days with no more than a breeze with a Kamado barbecue, which distributes a lot of heat. Tha Canary Islands are called the islands of eternal spring only for the tourists, it can be pretty rough here, specially northern bound and up in the mountains. I do feel cold more often here, than I felt in Berlin, where the houses are better insulated and better heated. Cheers Rob 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two 1/1 models of Kentucky Stick Chairs, which I built over the last week. Another summer project, which will be a present for my wife's birthday, to use on our new sea view terrace. For colder days, you can put some sheepskins on. Cheers Rob Rob Awesome work and perfect for a summer project. Keep 'em comin Peter 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only been to Gran Canaria of your islands and it was down in the very south (Puerto Rico) in July, so far too hot and humid for me. 🥵 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like I might have a project for next spring.

BlrwestSiR Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 I think I found out why I'd put the Esprit back in the box. Masking the trim and window frames... Now to do the sub version. Carl 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend a lot of time camping in the Adirondacks; those chairs are common around here. They're surprisingly comfortable. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canadian International Airshow starts in a couple hours so I'm going to take the boys. It's a quick 15min bike ride from our house. Then, I'll see if I can get a bit of bench time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In between was a C-130, P-51, F-35, Canso, and a aerobatics plane that I don't know. I don't have pics as all I had was my phone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill_S Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Pulling this one forward. Hopefully it will be ready for my club's show at the end of the month.
