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.

The empereors new stool.

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

-- Carpe Lignum; Tornare Lignum (Seize the wood, to Turn 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; Tornare Lignum (Seize the wood, to Turn 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.
