Chinese Stool

That’s funny, just two days ago I was showing my wife one of these and that I would like to build one. Now I really have to.

Great work. Any tips or pitfalls you care to share on this one?

The article says your joinery has to be loose to fit the whole thing together, jsut use several shims to fill in the gaps. I used wedged tenons on the seat. Also it said to use a chairmakers scorp to hollow out the seat or a drinder but I used my lathe instead.

I remember seeing this stool and wishing that I had the skills to build it. You did a great job on both of yours ! Dad will be very pleased : )

-- When did quiet and quite become the same word ? I'm guessing about the same time as your and you're did.

Awesome, this looks really comfortable.

Nice stools. I drew this out in SU a while back with some modifications. Thanks for the reminder that I need to get back to this.

You can only sit on one, so send the other my way :) They look great. Thanks for the videos.

Bill, I watched the youtube videos and love this build. Great stools and I know your dad will love the one you give him. Great project.

Great stools, and great build thanks for posting the video too.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

They looks great , even every one would make some and sell them to the people of china we could help balance the trade situation

You did a great job on these. They look pretty complicated to construct but you nailed it. Love the black locust and the finish. You mixed shellac/BLO/alcohol together? Never heard of that one but it looks great!
