   I love this glider and ottoman! I've been looking at pictures of gliders to build and haven't really been happy with any, but this is perfect.

   I love these 2 pieces. My grandfather made approx. 20 gliders 40 years ago out of wood he found being thrown out at the local dump (all hard wood)... this was northern Quebec. Unfortunately, with 11 children 36 grand-children and over 60 great grand-children, I wasn't lucky enough to end up with one for myself. Would you share your plan? I could never decide to purchase one from a store.... Non ever felt like the ones he had made....

   Hi All,
   Daniel Strak
   I too have looked at possible glider chair purchases without finding what I really wanted. I am a relatively late starter in woodwork although I have been interested for most of my life.
   Work did not allow me to start as I tended to be a workaholic; a disease that is incurable.
   At 80 my family tell me I have to slow down as my health is not the best.
   Sorry I enjoy what I do so will probably continue as long as I can. I also love gardening so then perhaps take up more gardening ( pushing daisies up from the bottom) :)
   What I need is to build a glider chair that I can also adjust the back as I have back and hip problems, not sufficient to stop me woodworking or using my computer.
   I am an avid recycler and commend on your chair for its beauty but also for the fact it has been built of scrap material.
   Before I can start I would like some information about the linkages. Some tell me they can be the same length; others advise either the back needs to be shorter than the front or visa versa.
   Does length of the linkage play a major part in the ease of gliding (rocking)
   Congratulations.
