Patron's Mid-Term - Answering the Challenge

What did the young lady had to say about he step stool?

By the way you did a very good job.

Nice looking stool and candy dispenser.

Even more so a wonderful thought.

I like the candy dispenser idea for my desk, what are the sizes?

I like the small candy dispenser more than the stool,I am a candy lover LOL LOL

man that is one cool stool

I remember the first few times i used a jointer man if i held that board any harder (just so i didnt chop of my fingers) my hands would fall of from the pressure

but after a while you become comfortable with their use and you produce flat and square pieces effortlessly

I feel your joy at learning this lesson

Congratulations

PS the candy jar is cool too

Russel A great looking picnic table. Nice job. The candy disk is great also. Is the young lady going to keep it filled.

PS I want to see the seats for the picnic table later.

Russel, I can see why you wanted to use that board. Made a good looking stool. She probably feels 10ft tall when she’s on that stool. Like the candy dish too.

Good looking stuff! The contrasting plugs really make the stool pop out!

It is such a feeling when you try something and you find that you can do it.
Well done Russ. One small step for man one giant leap for you.
I too remember the first time I used the jointer successfully and also the first time I changed the knives and set them by eye and they worked.
Nice save on the timber and well executed joinery.

you are alright,Russel ! really nice of you to make the step stool for your coworker … and the candy box is a good one too

-- keeping myself entertained

Thanks folks. The stool turned out much better than I planned or expected and I almost want to keep it because it really is a pretty piece of walnut.

The candy dispenser was a whim and I think I may make a few more for office Christmas presents. It’s a good size to sit on a desk, 2.75 inches x 4 inches standing 7 inches tall. It’s perfect for odds and ends.

Again, thanks for the kind words.
