Build a Dock Chair
Workshop | Registration opens 12/2/2025 10:00 AM CST
A dock chair is a two-component chair: a slatted seat and back which slide together when not in use to take up minimal space in storage. They are said to be more comfortable than an Adirondack chair and use less materials, while being lighter in weight and yet very sturdy. No hardware is used apart from screws for the slats. Previous woodworking experience is helpful but not necessary.
