Bathroom Stool

Nice stools. They are always handy around the house. If they are bathroom stools, I wonder why you shot pictures in a bedroom! (just kidding).

Best,

Can never go wrong with foot stools as gifts. Those who don’t have one, wants one.

OK, I am perplexed. How did you cut the angled box joints?

Serge:
I wonder how much of the top layer of finish is “pee” and how much is danish oil…yuck!

Bob:
You make a 10 degree angled auxiliary face for your tablesaw’s miter gauge or crosscut sled. This gets the shoulders of the joints to meet at the correct angle. Woodsmith issue 35 has detailed instructions. Their DVD of the first 200 issues is a treasure trove of project ideas and techniques.

I’ve got to try those angled box joints! Yours look great and have survived 20 years. Thats longer than I’ll last.

gfadvm:
Be sure to scratch a scribe line on the side the dado exits. That seems especially critical to avoid chip-out on these angled box joints since the final face is on the blade exit side on both the top and bottom pieces. I’d rather have a well-done scribe line displayed than a bunch of chipped joints…

Thanks Mark, I usually tape and use a backer board on my box joints but can scribe a line if you still feel it’s needed with my other precautions.

Maybe the tape would work.

I made this same stool, I think it was 1984. It has been in constant use since and is just as sturdy as the day it was built. Now my grandkids use it when they come over.
