One way to make the most of pleasant summer weather is wile away the hours in an outdoor swing. Ours is made of lumberyard cedar with ordinary hardware. Arbor framework makes this swing freestanding, so you don't need a porch or big tree. Mortise and tenon joinery adds stability and style to this fun-to-make backyard project.
