Having made many Adirondack chairs there is one weakness in your design. Attaching the arms at the back as you do is fine. Over time as people sit on those arms, it will eventually break. Add a vertical support from the bottom leg to the arm to resolve that problem.

The solution for that is to scream "get the f$%* off my chairs you brats" loudly and liberally. Seriously, anyone sitting on the arms is really foolish and deserves whatever splinters they get. Of I suppose you can sit quietly in chair #1 with a shotgun and keep one eye out for children and idiots for chair #2, 3, 4, etc.😂🤣

Actually, "Adi-rock-dack" wouldn't be a bad name for it! Great design, April! I like 'constructing' those half-laps, too, especially given the strength of glue. Goes back to when I didn't have the right equipment to cut one from solid wood, but there's also the advantage of getting different grain in there strengthening each other against warping/twisting (even running in the same direction still has this advantage).

At 5:47 it looks like you used self locking Nyloc nuts. But didn't you just finish saying that you used the equivalent of Loctite blue thread locker?, which is a removable thread lock? As the wood shrinks from dryer air conditions and age, you might find that your bolts will become slightly loose. To reduce this in the future, you may want to go with just split lockwashers and the same nuts that you used. I don't think that rocking chair will ever see enough vibration to warrant a thread locker AND self locking nuts.
