First Windsor-inspired Stool

[WoodWrangler]

This was in a recent Popular Woodworking magazine, and I figured I'd give it a try. Simple in design, yet ALWAYS a learning experience! I'm sure I'll make another ... but this one was good practice. Will likely be the "time out" stool for the kiddos. It's made with Beech, and not finished yet. Note: The tenons in the seat will be wedged in place.

And a few mistakes ... OOPS!:gar-La;

It was a tight fit, so I resorted to the mallet. Bad decision.

Made the foot a bit small ... turning is fun, I got carried away! :elvis:

I like it! So, when are you starting on the fan back chair??? :gar-Bi

I need to try one of those.

 

[4yanks]

Nice job.

 

[ScottM]

Jeremy tome out for the kids or you.:dontknow:

I saw the article. You did a nice job.

I need to make one of those for LOML - when she gets a little bit smart-mouthed I'll just make her sit in time out for 10 minutes!! :rotflm: :rotflm:

Ummm...maybe not...:nah:

The mistake count doesn't look too high for a first run. I like it. Maybe I can try one of those for a first time spinny project. :gar-Bi

It's all turning, and great practice on the lathe for sure ... especially "duplication".

I am calling this my "six-legged four-leg stool" since I had to make six legs just to get 4 good ones!

Holy cow that was fast man- Looks good-how'd you like the Beech?

The beech is a beautiful wood, but I'll keep the kiln dried beech for FLAT work. It was a dusty, chattery mess ... that's for sure! It sands awesome though!:thumbs_up

 

[Trent Mason]

Looks great Jeremy. I bet trying to duplicate those legs was a fun time. :swoon:

 

[MrAudio815]

Again Very Nice Jeremy. Your Just a knocking out those projects lately.

And way to make a time out chair for yourself, take time out from WW to visit the wife, :rotflm:

So will you post a pic of the top when you put those wedges in and finish it?

 

[WoodWrangler]

Another updated pic. Opted to use up some milk paint that I had and go a bit on the traditional side ... minus the color.:gar-La; I'll end up topping it with shellac most likely.

That looks great Jeremy.

Nicely done Jeremy:eusa_clap, thank you for sharing pictures of the extra two legs so the rest of us rookies can profit from your mistakes. :gar-La;

 

[Bob Carreiro]

Wow! Now you're going to be inspiring me to start turning too! I can't! I can't! I can't! Just too many things to do! Too many projects to build! Too long of a honey-do list to comlete!

Great job, Jeremy! I joined the sight as you recommended. Did ya sell the Jet 1100 DC yet?

Great job, Jeremy! I joined the sight as you recommended. Did ya sell the Jet 1100 DC yet?

Glad you joined up Bob ... I think you'll be glad you did. Good people out here in NC! As for the DC ... looks to be sold, but still here!
