Porch Glider Help

[JackLeg]

Have any of you guys ever actually built a Porch Glider? If so, I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have as I'm about to under take one. Have a set of plans from Wood, but nothing beats good old experience. All help appreciated.

Much obliged!

Sorry to come late to this post. I built a glider a few years ago. I think it was one from Wood mag. It was pretty straight forward in the build. Went to gether fine. However, it has since been assigned a spot in a mulch area in our yard as a decoration. Couldn't sit in it. The most uncomfortable thing I've ever tried to sit in. We put cushions on it trying to make it better, but the back was just too straight to the seat. No curvature or support for the lower back. I think I've got one pic of it in my album.

Sorry.

Thanks, Tom. I'll check your gallery for the pic. I may have the same plan, and I don't want Ivey's MIL uncomfortable!
