Plexiglass Bar Stool

That must have been made from the ever-elusive Invisi-tree. It’s really hard to get the grain to match. They are rarely found because you can’t see them hence the name. Love givin you a bad time. Very nice craftsmanship. Needless to say I save the pictures from everything I find fascinating. I saved this.

Keep up the fine work, and thanks for helping “Raise The Bar”.

I made up my mind a long time ago that if it means money in the pocket and can be made with woodworking tools, I’ll give it a go.

Atta Boy !!!

Hey, I thought this was lumberjocks…:) Mark since you commented above me, I’ll throw out that the last podcasts were great, I wanna go to a wood show now..

Great stool. No room to hide loose joints with epoxy for sure. This looks like something I would trip over in the middle of the night. Of course, I trip over solid things made of wood also.

Great looking stool. Did you lathe the legs and stretchers or did they come in the sizes you used?

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

The legs and stretchers were stock plexiglas rod sizes. I did have to do the mortises.
Thanks for the compliment.

I just want to comment once more on this great stool. This is something I thought was only available by a machine of some kind making it. You did a great job.

Did you glue this up? What type of glue would you use to keep it so clear when dry?

-- Carpe Lignum - Seize The Wood,

The cement is injected with a hypo. I use primarily EDC (ethylene di-chloride). It is in the acetone family. Just to clarify the sizes of the rod used, this was not a kit, all the pieces had to be cut and machined to size/length.

Great Job Cabinetman. I did some plastic work as a freshman in College. It was a graphic arts class where we worked in a lot of mediums.

My wife and I even did some plastic casting for a few years. Embedding mementos in plastic cubes or spheres. Class rings, broken off engagement rings, IUD’s for a gynecologist etc.

I”ll pretend you’re kidding there Karson,... (but I know you’re not)
