Norm travels to the Museum of the Adirondacks near Blue Mountain Lake, New York, to inspect a collection of rustic furniture, including a variety of Adirondack chairs. Extracting the best features from each of these chairs, Norm designs his own version built of cypress, an excellent outdoor wood that needs no preservatives or treatment. A project that relies heavily on the band saw to shade its many curved pieces, the Adirondack chair requires no fancy joinery, it's fastened together exclusively with screws, nails and nuts and bolts.
