NEW “Westport Adirondack Chair - Revised Woodworking Plans”

The NEW "Westport Adirondack Chair - Revised" Woodworking Plans is a updated design of the first Adirondack Chair: the "Westport", created in 1903, by Thomas Lee. The characteristics of the 1903 version is a single back chair with an inclined seat and wide arms.  Designer, Jack Briscoe's 2011 version of the Westport, has a triangle theme and he has incorporated modern day joinery.  He used pocket-screw joinery, which involves drilling a hole at an angle into one board and then joining it to a second board with a self-tapping wood screw.  Pocket hole joinery has become the new standard for strong, precise wood construction.  Also in the construction of the chair he used wooden biscuits. An oval-shaped, highly-dried and compressed wooden biscuit, (usually beech), is covered with glue which expands the biscuit, further improving a bond that is often stronger that the wood itself.  Biscuits also has become the new standard for strong, precise wood construction.

The plans come with Step-by-Step Instructions, Detailed Illustrations and the best of all: Full Size Templates. You don't have to spend hours to re-draw the plans from a 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper that you downloaded from the internet.  The Chair measures 35" W x 32" D x 35" H.

Jack Briscoe has been designing Award Winning woodworking plans and craft plans for the past 20 years.  It all started back in 1990 with a small display ad in a woodworking magazine.  Today, he sells his woodworking plans to woodworkers all over the world.  They can be found on the Internet, Woodworking Catalogs, Tool Catalogs, Craft Catalogs, as well as retail stores throughout the United States and in Canada.

Wine Barrel Funtiture Woodworking Plans

The Wine Barrel Furniture is handcrafted from recycled oak wine barrels and good old fashioned craftiness.  Gold Country Woodworks, Wine Barrel Adirondack Chairs” is one of the most comfortable chairs you'll ever sit in.  Jack Briscoe, the Award Winning designer, tells us that his Wine Barrel Adirondack Chairs design enables you to “Relax in Comfort”, because of the lower curved back and the deep curved contoured seat your body to actually mold to the chair. The chair provides maximum comfort combined with a high back design that creates a chair that is truly a joy to sit in.

One of the first things you will notice during construction of the Green, Ergonomic Wine Barrel Furniture is the very pleasant aroma of the wine from the barrel. But, once the construction is completed and you seal the chair the aroma will dissipate.

Baby-Sitter Woodworking Plans and The Best Way to Glue Dowels

Baby Sitter Woodworking Plans... All it Takes Is Just A Flip And A Twist!

Space can be a problem when you only have room for one piece of baby furniture, but you need three pieces. To solve this problem we designed the Baby-Sitter. With just a twist and a flip, the Baby-Sitter, turns into a Rocking Horse, a Desk and Seat, or a High Chair. The Baby-Sitter is three chairs in one and is both functional and fashionable. This will surely become a treasured heirloom that will be handed down from generation to generation. By request we have designed a Teddy Bear Sitter; Plan No. 201. It's half the size of the Baby-Sitter that's just right for your child's Teddy Bear or Doll.

                  THE BEST WAY TO GLUE DOWELS


When doweling pieces together, sand a small flat on one side of each dowel before inserting them. This allows any excess glue to escape when you clamp the joint. If you don't let the glue escape, the pressure could force the joint open again.
