Good day
On the post “Doweling on router table”, I’ve shown an example of drilling dowel holes for a frame with some melamine scraps, now it’s the time to show the “real thing”.
My wife ordered two small stools and how am I to argue with her (actually I run to make them).
The wood is white Oak 1¼” thick and the dimensions are 12”x12” and 14” high (the tops are 14”x14”).
“We” decided to leave the stools unfinished.
The red marks (I, II, III & V) has nothing to do with the drilling order, they are only for the wood patterns.
So, here it is in colors
Regards
niki

Finally a project. LOL Just kidding Niki. You’ve posted a project before. So we finally get to see all of the jigs (or some of them) in use to get to the final project.
Great job.

I love these stools.. of course, if they had a rough edge on them… well… ;)
And I really like how you walk us through the process. The text that you add is really a helpful touch!

Thank you
Karson
I was waiting to post all the “ingredient” before posting the “cake”.
I use most of the jigs in every one of the projects. Well, if you think about it, actually we are building boxes, small, big, with doors, with drawers or glass but the basic is box.

My wood is coming planed on two side only. Maybe, I’ll convince my wife to plan something with one side rough, as I know she loves the natural look of the wood.
Thanks

Niki: I mentioned something like that to debbie after her first box. It’s like make another box around it and it becomes a drawer. make a smaller box and it becomes a chest. Put a door on it and it becomes a cabinet.
That what we are are box makers. someitmes without sides and we call them legs.
Great job. You know I was just kidding, don’t you.

Great step by step… but I have to ask – Dowel powder?
