Does anyone know where you can buy the hardware to make this chair? I have been searching and only come up with links to Rockler who doesn't seem to sell this item anymore. Well heres hoping.
Thanks
Brian

Maybe you can glean something from this video - Otherwise it seems Rockler let it fall off the back burner.

Probably a dead end rabbithole, but maybe contacting the right person at Rockler main office can direct you ? Marc

Thank you Marc. Yes I don't think the adjustment hardware in the armrest will be easy to find and might have to figure out another way.

Of course, Norm would likely prefer you to spell his last name without the "s" on the end... LOL

I just bolts at the big orange and selected spring washers with larger flat washers.
That gives the 3/8ths bolt and nuts plenty of support in the leg and arm joints.

About $3.00 per chair.

Enjoy the shavings...hoot!

Hi Terry,
I know this thread has aged about a year, but I'm looking to make a few of these for around my pool. Along with the hardware being hard to come by it's also nuts expensive when one does. I'd love to go down to HD, spend a few bucks and be done with it, but still retain the quality and appearance. Can you provide any pics of using store bought hardware to help me consider it and plan it into a design?

Thanks,
Tony
