New miter sled and an Octogon frame test cut lookiing good. I measured 3 inch parts on a 2 inch wide board and had to mark both sides ( they don’t tell you that !!!! ) then carefully cut away and it came out like so. this is a rubber band clamp. Very pleased. Now the chair continues. I checked the front legs, picked the better sides and edges for right and left and 2 pair. Also the front cross board, all this to conceal any knots or sap. lets put those where they won’t show. And checking the first side leg, I missed cutting the angle on the end.. Now you can see I marked the inset on the front leg and the height for the leg. Also for the 2x corner block. The dots should be screw or bolt holes. I missed cutting off the angled front edge of the 4 legs so that’s tomorrow. The larger pic is the layout of the side leg and front leg., more to note here is the mid point where the back comes in and that point is about a foot from table edge—-or floor level. This is why these chairs do not sit low like some other Adirondack chairs….14.5 inch at the front and about 12 at the rear of the seat, most others are much lower at both points.
