A Swing Down Memory Lane

Many a childhood summer has been spent on, around and about the playground swing. And many a courtship has been romantically linked to the old porch swing.

Make those memories the moments of today when you build yourself a glider swing for your porch, back yard or patio. With this easy-to-follow plan you’ll soon be spending many a leisurely afternoon swinging away without worry or care.

Just trace the full-size pattern parts onto wood, cut out and follow the assembly instructions. Many diagrams and pictures are included to guide you. We used fir, but any economical lumber will do. A small investment of time and money for many a year of pleasure . . . so get into the swing of it.
