I’m starting a new #woodworking project this weekend and I’m actually following instructions to build a thing! 😱
My partner bought me the Veritas folding adirondack chair plans for my birthday last summer and spring is coming! I better get to work. 🌺🌻🌞
I was extremely unprepared for how many pieces one single chair would need. 😩
Let me first say that I respect all forms of #woodworking. There's skill involved in every single variation of it!
The last few weeks building this chair though has been my least favorite woodworking experience. I've had to use more machinery than ever before and it is so stressful. It's loud and messy and you always feel like you're a moment away from losing a body part.
But the chair build is coming along! It'll be 1 of 1 though. Back to hand tools for me after this.
An update from the project that will never end.
I'm technically on "step 6" but each step has like eight sub-steps in paragraph format written in 10 pt font with no diagrams except what's on the templates so it's been a slog.
It's got a wicked Game of Thrones vibe right now though until I can round off the top of the back rest.
They say the last 10% of a project is the hardest and that always ends up being the finish with #woodworking.
This is cedar so I could have just thrown it outside and watched it gray naturally but I'm giving this Osmo UV-Protection Oil a try. It stinks but it's looking very nice so hoping it helps it last a little longer.
I might actually be done done done with this chair by tomorrow. 🤞
