Step by Step Three Legged Shop Stool Build

I dug back in some old photos today to find a picture to illustrate my results with ferrous ion ebonizing solution.

What I found was a complete step by step captioned photo series that I made up about four years ago for a novice woodworker friend. It starts out taking measurements and angles off of my stool and then goes into extreme detail to describe how to duplicate it during the build of a second one.

The stool is my take on one I saw in Fine Woodworking several years ago (Tage Frid as I remember) but the design is surely older than that.

The captions are designed to guide a novice through the process so they may seem a little excessive to some.
Anyway, there are way too many pictures to post here so I will just give you the link to the Google Photos album.
It will explain itself.

Have fun,

Paul

Very nice stool design Paul. Simple, but elegant and light. Perfect for the shop or home.

Some great detail shown here Paul, great result. I have played with the steelo & vinegar but not had a lot of success, generally end up using Indian ink.
Thanks for the detail

Thanks guys, I use my stool every day that I'm in the shop and don't know how I lived without it.(I was younger I guess)

Pete, I was kind of dreading a comment from a real turner. My turning skills are somewhat rudimentary and confined to making necessary decoration for furniture pieces. I thought I might get shot down a little.

Thank you Shipwright,
I have been woodworking for about 30 years whenever I could find time and a shop. There is much I do not know and this project will answer some questions I have had on finding angles for chair/stool legs and bracing. Thanks for the lesson, I will use it. Roz

Simply beautiful and beautifully simple. Very nice work, Paul. A great many times simple becomes elegant. This is one of those times.
