Porch Glider Plan A Wonderful Outdoor Furniture Plan!
A Porch Glider Plan Offering an Incredibly Smooth Glide!
This porch glider plan includes everything you need so you can make one of these no matter what your skill level! Notice the higher backrest, a luxury you won't find in most plans, but one you want for support when relaxing. You will be the envy of your neighborhood!
To watch the Porch Glider in action, please click the video below:
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.
