Here's my addition to the "Big Stuff" Forum! :)
I had a bunch of 2 by scrap that needed to get used or thrown out so I built myself a patio lounge chair out of it! I'm a big man so I needed a stout chair and this one should last along time!!
The foot rest moves up and down but the back is fixed. I wanted to make an adjustable back but figured a fixed back would last longer.
Take care!!

Thanks for the kind words guys!!!
I hate throwing stuff away too and once or twice a year you end up with enough left overs to build something nice!
This thing is more comfortable than I expected it to be with a fixed back. Going to be real sweet once I come across a discarded couch or two so I can salvage the foam in the cushions!!!
Take care!!
