Over the course of five weeks, you will produce a full-size Adirondack Chair while learning about the tools and techniques it takes to build one. During each three-hour session, there will be discussions on design, patterns, tools, and finishing. You will leave with a chair that is ready to paint and decorate at home. Plus, the knowledge gained from this course will enable you to make more chairs on your own schedule using affordable hand tools!
