| Abstract: | This article focuses on the technique to produce an easy-to-build cedar chair, and an ottoman to match. If one has ever dreamed of extending the comfort of one's living room to one's deck, patio or yard, porch chair-and-ottoman combination is a great place to start making that dream a reality. Although it had an upholsterer make custom cushions for chair and ottoman, replacement cushions are often available at outlets that sell lawn furniture. Be sure to use a water-resistant glue, like Titebond II, for this project. Cut the parts for the chair back and arm assemblies to size, and lay out the mortises for all the joints, including those for the arm posts in the chair side rails. Note that the back foot rail on the chair has a 10° bevel on its back edge so that it fits tightly against the rear rail. |
