My “Westport Adirondack Chair - Revised” is a revised design of the first Adirondack chair: the “Westport” in 1903. The characteristics of the 1903 version is a single back chair with an inclined seat and wide arms. In my version of the Westport, I keep the triangle theme and added my own twist to the chair. I hope that you enjoy it.

Old Masking Tape

Masking tape gets old in the shop and after a while it won’t unroll very well. This is especially true in cold weather. As a remedy, I give a troublesome roll a 10 to 15 second zap in the microwave.

 Color to Dye For

Instead of buying expensive pre-mixed stains to color your projects, try using Rit dye instead. This water-based dye is available in the laundry section of most grocery stores. It comes in a variety of colors, which can be mixed to suite your project. Experiment with a piece of scrap until you get the color and intensity you desire.
