Lumberjocks Inspired Stool

Cool Bob! Only an hour and a half, and you were sitting on it!

Nice work. Simple, functional, and attractive.

That’s a nice looking shop stool… could use one of those by the lathe, by the bar…

Hi Bob;
—-hey this one’s really an example of….’making do with right off the top of your head’, now I think I’m going to start seeing you as ‘cedar rustic’....

Great stool Bob; and thank you.
GODSPEED,
Frank

I was just thinking, yesterday, that I need a stool such as this for when I’m doing canning.

Great table and super use of LJ inspirations!

Lumberjocks rule, some also drool.

Pretty classy, I like the rustic features.

Looks like you used compound angles on the legs…did you use specific angles or just eyeball it? If specific angles were used – I’m curious what they are!

-- Dorje (pronounced "door-jay"), Seattle, WA

Thanks all….I think of LJ every time I see it.

Dorje….just eyeballed it…...well actually a little more than eyeballed. I had some shims and stacked a few together on the drilll press table to give me a consistant angle in one plane then eyeballed the rest. It was close enough. After I put the legs into the seat I measured for the rungs and just drilled those freehand. I cut the rungs and then cut the tenons on the bandsaw. I left them a little fat and shaved them to fit with the drawknife. Its far from symmetrical but it sits nicely and is pretty sturdy (has to be with yours truly sitting on it). I made it slightly high so I could use it as an outfeed table too.

Very neat idea Bob but I can’t see you ever sitting on it.

You’re never still long enough. <vbg>

Keep up the great ideas!

if it was perfectly symmetrical it would probably lose some of its charm!
(not that I can tell that it not perfectly symmetrical)

Nice job Bob. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “Sit on it”. haha
