I love this! It reminds me of watching my grandfather build things when I was a little boy. I’m almost 60 now, and I need to go pull out some of his hand tools that I ended up with. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks. This is easy to understand especially compared to many other demos I've seen online. Your explanation is really clear and as a beginner, I understand the process a lot better.
@@Woodshop156 I completed the stool but must say I 'cheated' a bit and used my newly acquired skill saw and didn't follow the more detailed stool legs you suggested. My next project is to do another stool and follow your leg pattern more closely and try a hand saw on these. I wanted to upload a picture of my final product but could not figure out how to do this in a UA-cam comment. Thanks for all you information and help. I am now subscribed and following you videos. Happy Holidays
- S U P E R B ! ! ! WOW, I admire your hand tool dexterity. Don't see that kind of "utter craftsmanship" these days. Very nice end product. Never heard the term 'bung' before. My PaPa made rocking chairs with only hand tools. Many of them became 'heirlooms' within the family. Thanx for sharing.
You are correct on both your comments of using a tenon saw and dowels. Build one that way. I am teaching high school kids that have never done a damn thing with their hands, except buttons on video games, therefore I keep it as simple as possible. Thank you for your thoughtful comment. Cheers to 2019.🥂
Fantastic. No power tools used or needed. Thank for this wonderful video. I only wished the dimensions for the legs. Oh I see the plans on the bottom link. THANK YOU!!
Hello, thanks for this video and the plans. When I was little there were very comfortable stools in my mother's town, I don't think they make them anymore, the sitting part was not flat, but in angle, so when you sat, your sitting bone would go in the deeper part of the angle and you could sit for hours without getting tired. I have done one for weeding in the garden, it was hard, since I don't have many tools or any experience, I wish I had your tutorial before. If I make another one, I will cut a "V" in the top part of the leg front view of your plan, not very deep, just a couple of inches, the sitting part would be in two parts to fit the angle. Thanks again.
I only have hand tools but the visual explanations are perfect, thanks to you I can do the same thing! (well almost because I don't have bung cutter, but it's a detail!) thanks a lot from France
Ray Smith, I used dowels where the screws on the side were used. It worked for about a year then loosed up. but my seat was made of 2x10 stock and a bit heavier.
Thank you for this, a really good video impressed with your accuracy using a panel saw, I would have used a Tenon saw for some of the cutting and I may have used dowels where you used screws but wonder if they would be strong enough.
Hand tool footstool... using powered drill, drill press... Seriously though. This is a good beginner video project. Learning to make good straight cuts with a rip saw is good for everyone to be able to do. If you had used a hand crank drill it would have been perfect.
Darin, You are totally right. I give my students the option of using a hand crank drill in class, but never thought to edit that in the video. Looks like it is time to edit and re post. Cheers
You get the board as dimensional lumber 1" x 6" (actual dimensions 3/4" x 5-1/2" or 19mm x 140 mm) but after you clean and sand it up you end up with 5/8" thickness. (sorry for being so short earlier).
John, Yes they could. Keep in mind this video was created for my high school woodworking class, and trust me, the angle you are talking about is not in the scope of their work. Just getting the pieces cut square is an ordeal. Cheers
@@mmfreetime , I think the easiest way is to cut everything square at first. Then place the leg in the Dado of the stretcher, and scribe a line on the leg that matches the stretcher. From there you can either cut or sand to the line. Make sure you number or letter your parts so that when you put it together everything fits.That is the way I have my students do it. Lmk if that helps. Scott
why o why could you no bevel the legs where the stretchers meet ,that makes it look like a piese o shite would have taken what 30 seconds with a chisel ffs

Slim, QUIET, works great. I wanted modern and out of the way. This is it!

Thank you.
- VERY nicely done & a very necessary piece to have around the house. Thanx 4 sharing.
Thanks for the video. Great clear detailed explanation. You have inspired me to attempt one of these today with my limited woodworking skills.
That is awesome. Lmk how it goes

I'm happy to see that high schools are still offering shop class. Keep up the great job and hopefully you can spark something in one of your students.
A nice video to encourage people to have a go at being creative 👍
Thanks, I sent the new link for plans to your email.
@@Woodshop156 Thank you.
Nice job. It looks very strong
Fantastic. No power tools used or needed. Thank for this wonderful video. I only wished the dimensions for the legs. Oh I see the plans on the bottom link. THANK YOU!!
Thanks. The legs are 9" x 9" and there is a link for the plans in the video description.
An Excellent peice... And a clear Video ... Thank you
Jay,
Thank you. Keep building.

Appreciate the comment. If you ever build that stool, send me a picture. We are you from?
Scott
@@Woodshop156 Thanks for your answer, I was born in Veracruz, México, but I have been living in France for a while. Yes, I will send you a picture.
Beautiful 🎉🎉
I admire the use of hand tools to do this. I learned on them and respect them, but I'm spoiled on power tools now. Well done!
Thank you, I'll keep teaching the kids old school.

Antoinette Petitporridge ,
Merci, I was just in Paris two days ago. Your country is amazing.
What a fantastic beginner project, thank you! I like the way this is put together--it's a wonderful opportunity to practice many techniques.
Thank you, appreciate the feedback
Buen trabajo, para que vean que no es necesario un arsenal de herramientas eléctricas para hacer un simple taburete.
Tidy job love it
Thank you

Lovely old school project....I will be making a larger version of this footstool to use as a sawhorse 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
MUY BONITO, L'ós Cortés con la Sierra té salen perfectos. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia

Good job , congratulations from Brazil
Thanks Antonio
That’s it, it can’t be called using hand tools!
Fun to watch
Great job. I'm going to get myself a good hand saw.
Nancy, thank you. A good hand saw is with it's weight in gold. Cheers, Scott

Scott Manninen Thank you!
1970s wood working with a 2020 modern template 😢 😳😢
Beautiful
Thank you
the legs could have been cut at an angle where they join with the rails !!
John,
Yes they could. Keep in mind this video was created for my high school woodworking class, and trust me, the angle you are talking about is not in the scope of their work. Just getting the pieces cut square is an ordeal. Cheers
@@Woodshop156 How do you recommend cutting the 8 degree angle on the legs? Thanks for the video and sharing the plans.

What is your name
Mr. Manninen
Thanks
You are welcome, thank you for watching.
How to make stool with hand tools and a drill press, power drill etc. Lol
Why do you have to be so critical. Uhg
👍🏿👍
Good job
