Then, using some 2 1/2" deck screws, attach one of the seat slat support pieces at the appropriate height on the inside of each end. To assemble each side section of the chair, connect the pieces at their respective half-lap joints using woodworking glue and some 1 1/4" deck screws. Notice that the half-lap for the back pieces will be cut at a matching 15-degree angle. Now, return to your table saw with a stacked dado blade set to cut half-lap joints in the two bottom pieces, and the bottoms of the front and back pieces. Note: Be sure to cut these three as accurately as possible, as all three will work together to hold the seat slats at the proper positions for comfortable sitting. Then lay out and cut the angles on the three seat supports. Next, switch to your band saw, and make a 3 1/2" radius cut on each end of the two boards for the bottom pieces. Then, cut two pieces at 29" in length (from long point to short point) at a 15-degree angle miter on each end. Using your circular saw or compound miter saw, cut two 2x4 boards at 22 1/8" (for the bottom pieces), three at 20" (for the seat supports) and another two at 28" (for the front). With the base completed, we'll turn our attention to the Adirondack chair structure of the loveseat glider rocker. These two spreaders should be centered on the top and bottom of the base sides.

Pay special attention to the curved cuts from the band saw.Īfter both base sides are completed, install the two spreaders between the two bases. Now would be a good time to sand each of the two base side assemblies. Repeat with the opposite end of the base. If it looks good, assemble using some woodworking glue and 1 1/4" deck screws in pre-drilled, countersunk holes.
With the half-lap joints cut in all four pieces of each side of the base, dry fit the four boards together to check the fit. Note: These joints could also be done using mortise and tenon joinery should you so choose.
The fit should be snug, but not too tight. These half-lap joints should be cut exactly the width of the joining board and at half of the depth. With each of these ten pieces cut, set up your table saw with a stacked dado blade set to cut half-lap joints in the foot, top and two vertical pieces of each side of the base. While you're cutting, cut two pieces of 2x4 at 42" in length for the top and bottom spreaders. Then, cut four 2x4 pieces at 15 1/2" to serve as the vertical pieces on each end of the base. These two pieces will form the tops of the base sides. Next, using your circular saw or compound miter saw, cut two 2x4 sections at 16" and round over the four corners with a 1" radius on your band saw. You can cut these feet in any shape that you like as long as it is something similar to the shape in the picture above. To begin building the Adirondack chair-style Loveseat Glider Rocker, we'll start by cutting the feet for the base of the glider rocker out of 2x4 on the band saw.
