I am still prototyping, as quarantine doesnât seem like a good time to get a feel for what sort of market there will be. This adirondack chair is requiring more hours of work than I anticipated. I worked about six and half hours on it today and I would estimate I am only a smidgen past half-done. As for prototype lessons learned, there are a few. Firstly, I didnât order the right length screw for the back boards, which is why they are sticking out a little. I can rectify this because I glued that brace on. I can just take the screws out once the glue dries. It will leave holes with the counter-sunk screws, so that will just be a practice lap defect. This also goes for that brace in the front. It is too far back. I donât know why, but I put it nine inches from the front when the plans had it to go three-and-a-half inches from the front. The chair should be able to hold most peopleâs weight despite this defect. Placing it is a step to pay more attention and double-check the plans to than I realized. Lastly, while the plans helped with the basic big steps to take, I need a more detailed step-by-step plan for this to be production ready. While building this could be done in many orders, there is probably a more efficient order for the smaller steps to be done. Tonight I am going to make step by step instructions for what i have done so far to fill this void. I am building a second one for my familyâs backyard, which I purposefully havenât started, despite having the wood for a second, so I can get a clean slate at prototype number two.
