   I have built 6 deck chairs from plans in the July 1985 issue of Popular Mechanics magazine.

   If you will e`mail me an address,I will copy them and send them along. No charge.

   Thank you. THis has been knocking around in the back of my mind, too - to build some of these chairs. I could have sworn I saw the plans in some source that was published in the 1990s as well, but I will go get this from my local library.

   Ed: If you can find your way to the Gallery in the "old forum" there is a photo of one of my chairs.

   I have just sent the copy of the chair plans to Steve in South Africa, by snail mail.

   If he has the scanning equipment,which I don`t have,mebby he will share with you.

   Years ago, my Stevadore BIL gave me about 60 of the oval teak 'Slats' from broken discarded deck chairs he picked up at a pier in Manhattan.

    As I recall, I made tent pegs, hammer and chisel handles,  a rope ladder, (For the kids)  and a seat for my GMC van. Alas, it's all gone now.  I'd be interested to see if those old plans utilized oval slats too. Stein.

   I believe that the New Yankee Workshop has plans for these chairs.

   It aint Titanic but it's free. Adirondak chair plans. All the author asks is that you refer to it as "Jakes Chair" if you further desseminate his plans.

   Here's a start. Print and enlarge photo on to graph paper and work from there. Stein.
