Adirondack Chair + Old Skis

[spere]

So I have several old pairs of skis that are in urban condition and I want a project for the rainy months before the snow starts falling. Anybody ever built an Adirondack style chair with skis? I know you can find plans online for the regular chairs and it looks like you can just swap out some boards with skis.

I found a couple examples online

Using skis on every part

more simple, just on the seat and seat back

skis-

Thanks

NO WAY! NO HOW!

A chair out of those skis would be sweet! good luck

 

[teleak]

Don't show me those pics man!

Thats just offensive!

 

[Janky]

how?

 

[spere]

yea. probably not gonna use the og ar5's though, can't justify cutting up a piece of skiing history

i'd still ride on every pair of those...get some straight skis from the 80s and send me a couple pairs of those twins!!! i'm poor and need skis!!!

Most of those skis look like they are in good condition. (of course I cant see the base)

I will trade you a pair of torn to shit Amplids TS for the pair that you have.

you should use old school skis with pointed tips. ever seen an Adirondack chair with boards rounded at the top for the backrest?

 

[SwitchMisty540]

word...give those messed up rounded ones to me!

thank god, i was gonna say, ill take the ar5s off your hands please dont hurt them!

 

[monkatizer]

dude c'mon!

dont cut up those skis! you could practicly sell them and go get some old straight skis for free and make it actually look good!

the bright colors and matching stuff on the old straight skis will make the chair look much better!

Guess what I just threw in the trash? 8 pairs of old skis. Guess what I'm regretting?

Throwing away 8 pairs of old skis?

 

[ORDEAL]

[stickski]

not sure how you can tell this from a photo of the topsheets, but I really don't care.

the skis are fucked, and I am going to make a chair out of them, just wondering if anyone else has experience doing this themselves.
