As the only science teacher in my school I don’t have a lot of time to do any woodworking, or much of anything else for that matter while school is in session (it also doesn’t help my wife is 8 months pregnant). So while I’ve been trying to stay current here at lumberjocks I haven’t made very many posts.
On another thread I mentioned I used students offcuts for projects. I decided I better post something made from those offcuts. The kids will literally get rid of a quarter panel of high quality 3/4 ply just because they aren’t using any more in their project. I also use their Cedar, Oak, and occasional walnut for projects.
My wife and daughter went out of town for a week to help her sister with her baby. After I got everything else done that had to be done I realized I had some time to do some woodworking. My dad had built some of these stools for my nephews years ago, and so I decided I’d make one for my little girl. Its made out of both pine and oak ply. But since my plan was to paint it anyway I figured it wouldn’t matter.

That is a nice use of offcuts. It is really a cute project. I am surprised you got her to sit still long enough for a picture but she does seem to be enjoying the stool.
This is something that I am sure she will come to treasure when she is older.
Thanks for sharing.

Great use of scrap, and your little girl looks very happy with it.
What is the pivot mechanism?

Nice to see a project being used (and so sweetly).
