My diabetes medication doctor asked if I could make her 3 year old twins a step stool. One for each. So I found a photo of a two step stool that is also a chair for the child. I made these out of some red oak I had left over. I thought these would be a little difficult to make, but, to my surprise, they were relatively easy. They are about 18 inches wide and about12 inches tall. I have some letters that my wife is painting for me. They each will have there names on their own stools. My doctor is one of the few that are very caring for veterans, so I have no problem doing this for her. In the photos I have not yet put their names on them, and I have not applied any Arm-R-Seal on them as yet. That will happen tomorrow…hopefully.

I have 3 sets of speakers in the shop and when placing the pair at the lathe a few years ago which are small Boston Acoustics I dropped one. I was able to repair it with tape. Well while looking for repair speaker came across on eBay a pair of Boston CR9 at only 150. . This is a large speaker and had not placed it in shop due to size as I already had a set of Pioneer floor speakers there. Decided these were no good in a closet so to the shop and then the display decision. Decided on tall stools so easy to move. one of the seats in spalted Pin Oak. Forgot to get pic of the legs on lathe. Had this piece of Live Oak sitting awaiting becoming a shower stool so used it as the other seat. legs are walnut and there is a story in that too. Originally picked a piece that turned out to be highly figured but it broke when turned so now have a couple of highly figured 1.5 inch cylinders. also used Pin Oak for legs. I left off stretchers considering the intended use. There is little to no taper inlegs and I think they look like large milking stools. Will cut the tenons today and try Tung oil as finish.

Adjustable antique piano stool will not turn to adjust height
Murray posted a topic in General Woodworking
I have an old piano stool with screw type height adjustment. It hasn't been used in quite a wile and the round seat will not turn. It is in the full down position. Could the steel threaded rod be seized? Should I try spraying some bolt release or anticize liquid on the threaded rod where it goes down into the base>\? Thanks Murray- 4 replies

From the album: Shaker Furniture
The seat is weaved, and I placed the accompanying stool with it. I am pretty happy how this one turned out. I'll create plenty more, this was just too much fun.- 8 comments

I built one prototype bar stool and two kitchen side chairs in times past, using poplar wood, and I had to do something with them. So, I decided to practice spraying colored lacquer (a new technique for me). Wow! They sure are blue. When I selected the colored lacquer, I thought it would be darker. Oh well. Blue is the new gray. The side chairs were sprayed and assembled in multiple steps so that there would be no blue lacquer over-spray on the clear lacquer details. Thanks for looking. Danl

I have already turned the posts and rungs and assembled this New Lebanon Shaker stool, next time I will install images of some of the process that is required to build these wonderfully simple stools. But for now, I'll show a couple images demonstrating the weave of these stools. -
I built this foot stool to put my feet and one day I was gone somewhere and when I came home, my granddaughter who was about 4 yrs old at the time decided its legs were cold so she remedied the poor foot stool cold legs. It took a few years to get those leggings off. Ya just can't love grandkids enough. Preston

This Shaker New Lebanon Stool is finished, I am very happy with my first weaving job I did on this one. I love the color of the cloth tape, it works wonderfully with the cherry wood. You can see the project at Shaker Stool Build- 12 comments

From the album: Shaker Furniture
Once about half the seat is completed, the weave start getting really tight, and the roll of cloth tape will no longer fit between the weaves, so I made this shuttle from some of the scrap cherry I had on hand. It's about 3/16" thick, by about 8" long and 1.5 inches wide with a taper on the end. -
I have the parts. This is my first spindle turning project. A warm up for my shaker rockers and chairs. Not much right now. Legs to the right, rungs in the center, and four fails on the left. I used some of this 10/4 cherry to get the parts from. The parts pre turned. Right now I'm building a small drill press jig to bore the rung holes into the legs with. I'll check in later!

Hey guys, I am making a small stool today for my first shaker chair project, it's a warm up to get me used to using the lathe, and weaving the seat. The stool will be similar to the one below. My question is, the tops of the legs are rounded. And obviously exposed to view. When I turn these legs, which end should I mount to the lathes spur drive. I am using a traditional spur drive with a live center, if my terminology is even correct. Thanks for any help.

My wife made this stool. I made the wooden base and turned the legs. It is made of layer of foam glued together and batting. Of course she made the cover and I think she did a beautiful job.

Maybe it will give my back a rest? When not in use, I can slide it under the bench. A wee bit taller than the Tool Chest #1, and a bit more PADDED for my rearend. Seemed to work.

Was just browsing around this afternoon (can't put a full day in the shop yet) and stumbled upon this neat trick. I am always coming up with wobbly stools, chairs, tables, etc - anything with legs - regardless of how many times I trim them down. This trick solves the problem
