Porch Glider Plan
A Wonderful Outdoor Furniture Plan!

A Porch Glider Plan Offering an Incredibly Smooth Glide!

You will be the envy of your neighborhood!

The most difficult templates consist of the back legs (legs and back angle all in one), the front legs, the arms, the seat supports, and the top of the backrest. I include these woodworking patterns and walk you through step by careful step. Everything else is straightforward, and the instructions are clear and easy to understand.

My Porch Glider plan uses mortise and tenon joints for the main structure. I find the Mortise Jig and the Tenon Jig work great for this.

The Tenon Jig needs a slight modification for the arm tenon to fit into the back leg mortise. Don't worry, this sounds a lot more complicated than it is. I show you how to get it exact in the plans, and you can use this modification to build the sling parts too.

I ordered my original hardware and basic plan from Rockler and modified it to get the results I wanted.
They have the pivot hinges I used to give years of incredible, rust free glide. You need four pair of the pivot hinges for smooth gliding!
You can order 4-pair of pivot hinges at this link: Pivot Hinges

Pivot Hinges

This innovative hinge combines the pivoting feature of a roto hinge with the strength of a hex head bolt. Plus, an industrial coating provides rust resistance that approaches stainless steel.
