My channel is about woodworking and using my sawmill with the occasional cameo of my goats Bert and Ernie. I don't do custom and like to try things that interest me that relate to woodworking.
Guitar Picking Stool with Maloof Joint
*Update* I have learned that the depth of the cut for the legs with the jig should be 1.5" instead of the 1" that I did.
I wanted to make a stool with a piece of black walnut that has some nice crotch figure. I came across a design by Paul @CanadianWoodworks so I purchased his plans and went to work. Lots of power carving with a Kutzall disc. I finished it with 100% Tung Oil but thinned the first few coats with a citrus solvent. It came out wonderful and it was a good experience to learn how to do the Sam Maloof style joint for the legs. The project is not that hard but does require some router bits. Below are some affiliate links of the supplies I used for this project.
Pica Pencil amzn.to/3VbZn8Y The white led is quite soft but shows up nicely on walnut
Brass Router Template Guide amzn.to/3ZstiMM
1/2" spiral router bit amzn.to/4eUUKHi
1/2" Rabbeting Bit amzn.to/3ZrIM3s
3/4" Radius Roundover bit amzn.to/4iaIFAM
Titebond Dark Wood Glue amzn.to/3CSDWDJ
Kutzall Disc amzn.to/3OxrGLp This is the one I used but if the wood is very hard you may find the more coarse disc might be better. I used the flat disc which worked well.
Total Boat Epoxy amzn.to/3D0GJKR I use this for the glue and to fill small holes and cracks. I don't like the mica powder I have to color it black so you are on your own for that one.
Intermediat pads for sander amzn.to/3ZvcMM7 These worked well for conforming to the curves but not for shaping.
Starbond Medium Thick CA Glue amzn.to/4ieLh0o
3M Sandpaper amzn.to/4fMnMuf I really like the 3M Cubitron sandpaper and find it lasts quite a long time. The link is for 120 Grit but I used 80, 120, 150, 180 and 220 grits.
Shinto Rasp amzn.to/3ORKtRX works great for shaping
Bahco Scraper amzn.to/3CJYvC3
100% Tung Oil amzn.to/4i97I7l
Nature's Orange Citrus Solvent amzn.to/3CQZRLu For thinning the Tung Oil

Good and Bad Walnut on the sawmill
Переглядів 9364 місяці тому
I sawed up a walnut logs on the sawmill. When they are short like these it does make it awkward since they fall between my squaring jigs. In the end I did well with one log and not so good with the other. One log has too much rot but the other has some beautiful crotch figuring to it. The down side to the good log is that it really has limited woodworking uses like table tops. Anyways, enjoy th...

I was given some cherry logs and one log had a crotch at one end so I cut it up using my Cooks MP32 sawmill hoping there would be some nice figure at the crotch end. Cherry doesn't sell so well around me but I like it. I also had an unfortunate run it with a raccoon that is raising her babies in my barn.

Grain Matching Box

I wanted a bit of practice with my hand planes and attempted a continuous grain box. It sort of worked with the spalting but it was a bad choice of wood since the Maple I chose didn't have much grain to it. There were a few issues along the way but it did turn out nice and my wife has claimed it for herself.

Good Info Thanks
Just down the road from you in Rome. I teach the epoxy classes at Woodcraft there in Chattanooga
We actually met there last summer while I was there doing a bit of shopping. We had a bit of a chat up by the checkout counter. Hope your shop is coming along.
@hillbillychic3933 That is right. Shop is still waiting on permits. Maybe soon lol
Sir! I love your videos! Please keep it up. You are an inspiration.
Thank You! Glad you enjoy them. I enjoy making them.
Woah! That Pecan board with the Osmo Raw looks incredible 😍🤤
Pecan is my favorite looking wood but not vert pleasant to work with, crazy grain and very hard. Thanks for watching!
The fan type ? Size?
The shroud is 12" and one of them finally failed 2 years later.. Check the link in the description of the video. It will take you to Amazon and you can get more information on the fan there. Thanks for watching!
Hello from Kentucky, land of Hillbillification Beautiful work!
I love Kentucky, such a beautiful state!
Great build. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
i watch you whenever i see one of your videos. keep esplaining steps like you do. thankyou
Glad you enjoy the videos, thanks for watching!
It’s a piece of art .. beautiful coffee table
Thank you!
I was a filer for years but when I moved ten years ago I gave away the majority of my Foley machinery. I advertised it and couldn't even get a bite on it until I said free and come take it away. I had three filers and kept one 387 and a 310 carbide grinder and a bench gummer. I just bought a bandsaw mill and I am going to try to adapt a grinding head to the filer to sharpen hardened band mill blades. It's a good idea and would resurrect these old filers and give them a new purpose for existence. If you take the push arm off the file arm it would just go up and down but not back and forth. Make a longer filer arm with a chainsaw grinding motor on it and it would work like a charm. Self feeding and full adjustments. I don't know if it would work with your model or the 200 but it will work with the 387.
It doesn't get much use but I like having it in my shop and it's mesmerizing to watch it work.
You can always tell someone is a furniture maker when they put adhesive on all gluing surfaces. I see so many 'woodworking' videos in which someone dabs a little glue into a hole and pushes a dry dowel into it.
I have to admit I'm guilty of that on occasion but this was my first time using epoxy as glue (I think). I do agree though. Once you get into the swing of things you realize that glue is not something that should be used sparingly.
I think the bit of randomness that the live edge added makes a flowing, organic design just that little bit more organic. I like it a lot. the Maloof joint is very intriguing.
I think the live edge works too. The Maloof Joint is a beautiful thing.
Great job!
Thank you!
Thank you for the video the eyes are getting older and being able to look at your beautiful coffee table isajoy to see
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Beautiful work. Made two of these about 2 years ago. Lots of fun doing the carving. Then made two more but used the”back” leg that was extended and put a small curved backrest on it. Thx great video.
That's a brilliant idea.. I might have to steal that for the next one..
You do beautiful work. We’re watching from Missouri
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic project, love that stool... where can I get plans, I would love to try one myself...
Canadian Woodworks has the plans and videos that go into more detail on the jig. It's the best $4 you can spend. You can figure it out just from his videos on UA-cam but like it said, it's only $4.
Looks great
Thanks!
Looks very comfortable & beautiful...excellent work sir!
It is quite comfortable to sit on!
That is a beautifully shaped stool!
Thank you!
Why do you use citrus solvent? I like seeing videos like this because initially I always thought it was hard to make something sturdy when it had legs. The more I see expert woodworkers, the more I think thats prob just some shoddy builds that led me to the false conclusion. Lol. This looks very sturdy!
I use the Citrus Solvent because it thins the Tung oil so it can penetrate better and dry a bit faster between coats. It's also smells nice and is a bit more environmentally friendly in the shop. As long as the legs fit well they are very sturdy. Thanks for watching!
WoW that is sooo bootiful. 😮😮
Thank you!
Very nice Sir!
Thanks! Glad you like it.
Красиво, интересное решение.
Спасибо
Nice tour, how do you like the dust collection on the drum sander?
It works pretty good, At least I notice quite a difference if I forget to open the blast gate or turn the dust collector on.
Well done, nice looking stool. Paul @CanadianWoodworks offers ( or used to ) courses on building this and the maloof style chairs and bar stools. Really a good time.
He seems like quite an entertaining character. That would be a fun time.
Why do 4 coats of tung oil when it takes over 3 weeks to cure the first coat?
Good question! Because I've never done a Tung Oil finish before and wanted to see how it looks. Also, there is a difference between drying and curing so I only waited a couple of days between coats when it was dry before adding the additional coats. When it has cured in a couple of weeks I might see how it looks and slap on some wax or sand the whole thing down and fix the spots I missed or leave it as is.
@ i see, I usually just use one heavy coat and give it 30 to absorb then let cure and it always comes out nice 👍
You have outdone yourself this time. This is the type of woodworking art which compliments the castles and temples of history. This work sits at the table with Jimmy DiResta and Pedulla Studio.
That is some high praise right there.. This is the kind of project that makes you look like a better wood worker than you are. Thanks!
Thank you for the video! It made me happy to watch. I want to build chairs with the Maloof joint. How comfortable is the seat? The plane, Shinto rasp and building jigs are my frequent tools. I also really like working with jatoba. I have only ever built one thing mahogany but jatoba is frequently available at my wood store. Anyway, thank you for the video!
The seat is quite comfortable. From what I have been told Jatoba is quite a bit harder than the Mahogany so I'm glad I did make the mistake because it was easier with the hand tools. The Maloof joint is a beautiful thing! Thanks for watching!
Good morning 🌅, very nice guitar pick stool, I have seen builders use a router table, with donut 🍩 😂 ring over the router bit to shape the legs 🦵 😂, , I have the rocking chair plans, hoping to make a pair next year, I have not been able to work properly for a year so, I have CTS very bad in my left hand, I have just had my op about 10 days ago, good luck with your next project, look 👀 forward to seeing it, cheers from France,
I have seen the donut used but wanted to use some hand tools. If I make more I may make a donut to speed up the process. Merci
Love the project and the finished product is great. Maloof designs are beautiful. Thanks for the video. Scott
Thank you for watching!
Great job , if you do an another get some sand paper grits up to 500 or even higher , it can really make the wood come alive but you spend twice the time sanding
The stool is beautiful but the way the hand scraping turned out I'm so happy with that portion of it. I've never been fan of sanding ( who is ) and actually have never sanded anything above 220. Some day I will have to give it a try. I have seen stuff done and it is glass smooth but patience are not one of my qualities.
Very nice! Have you tested with a guitar? 😁
Unfortunately I have no musical talent what so ever. I like music but can't play music and will have to stick to dancing around my shop when nobody is looking.
This is beautiful!
Thanks Andy
Wow! Love it!
Thank you Annie!
Beautiful stool! I do believe I will try and make one myself.
I absolutely recommend making one. Good experience and gain some new skills.
Nice project and beautiful wood. A suggestion for your videos is to lower the sound level (a lot) when it’s just machines running. . My ears will thank you. 😊
Whoops.. Normally I do, must have missed one. Thanks
That is one good looking piece. Wonder if it goes for sale? I like the way the legs came out.
It will probably go to the basement with most everything else. It would be quite an expensive stool.
Yes!!! This is one of my top dream builds, the maloof joint guitar stool!!! So excited to watch
I think it's a really cool build too.
i have watched hundreds of videos on table making, furniture repair, interested in both, and you
Thank you for watching!
I really like how your Miter Saw Station turned out. What height is your overall countertop to accommodate your drawer setup?
It's 36.75" overall height. It works pretty good and I'm 5'10" tall.
Sucks you couldn't get a good 45 with that awesome new miter saw. I probably purposefully do thin frames so the cut doesn't matter as much. Great work.
I’m fine with it. You can adjust them but since I mainly just use it for breaking down material it works. I seem to be moving to sleds and shooting boards anyhow.
I think we can all relate to racking up the battery count!
A couple new batteries took care of that problem.
Awesome weights for the glue up.
And they work like they should.. Might be time for some new duct tape though.
Great video Thank you!
Thanks for watching.
Great tips on the shooting board. The figure really came out when you milled the maple down.
I was surprised on how much it came out with just the lacquer. Thanks
Good video Paul! Maybe you are on to something with the goat nose finish 🤣
You never know where the next trend will come from.
I liked the part where chatty Paul and productive Paul appear at the same time.

Nice tour. If only you had an industrial strength rumba robot. Or a shop maid/steward.
I had a cleaner, his name was Andy but he moved away.
Too funny
Thanks!
