Really glad to see the old style WWMM kind of video. I think you're the only utube woodworking creator that has stuck with your original focus of simple fun projects you don't need a loan to pay for or a master cabinet makers shop and skills to complete. Thank you.
I can see a pair of those in my car trunk, with the pair of fishing rods, and they make a great pair of compact seats you can use when you stop fishing anywhere...nice!
Great timing! I built one of these in woodworking class about 23 years ago. I used that one to model a new one about a month ago, but I didn't have any plans (and didn't think to make any). Now I'd like to build a few more, so this is perfect! Thanks!
I have a very similar design made in plastic that I picked up years ago and use as a portable table for my laptop. I am a network engineer and frequently need to use my laptop to connect to network routers, switches, etc in network closets. I was thinking about copying it in wood for use as a stool, but I think your design is a little more sturdy. I'll "embiggen" the dimensions slightly and make two, one for a chair and one for a table. Great video Steve.
One of my favorite projects I've been making these for several years now. I sell them at craft shows and flea markets some doll collectors use them as display stands for their dolls. I occasionally will add some carving on the seat using a router.
Built this chair this past weekend. Had some trouble with the dowels being smaller than advertised, but some glue on one half of the joint did wonders. Love the chair and I’m not a small guy and it holds me just fine. I’d like to thank Steve for making these videos. I enjoy watching you make things and explaining all the “stupid” questions some of us may have. Keep doing what your doing for all us weekend builders who just want to make something occasionally. I, for one, greatly appreciate it!
Downloaded this a few weeks ago and finally put it together today. First try was a disaster but I watched the video again and things went much better. finished product works great but looks terrible, so I'll be trying this again. The plans are great and the video is great. If your first attempt at this doesn't go well, stick with it. Rebuild it or build another one. I hope to make more of these and hopefully get better at it. Thanks, Steve!
I'm so happy your videos are again as they used to be: THE BEST. I recently started to miss the old awesome Steve/videos, it just seemed it wasn't you, but on this vid I can see the original Steve is back! :) This is the Steve that I missed. I hope I've explained myself cos English isn't my first language. Love ya.
Oh the joy of imperial and metric conversions and the availability of the material sizes. Probably just going to yolo it with whatever i have for hands and looking at the relative sizes haha... wish me luck.
Thank you for an awesome video. I used your guide and it is absolutely brilliant. Easy to understand and put together I made this one for my dad and he loves it. So from sunny South Africa, a huge Thank you.
Great folding seat! Make sure your dowel is a snug fit, but not so tight it splits the wood. Also, the closer to quarter-sawn the wood grain is, (end-grain crossing the thickness of the 1 x 2s) the more resistant to splitting this project will be.
Great Stuff. I'm just starting out in woodworking, these videos help keep me motivated. I'm curious about the dowels. How do they stay in the holes and not slide out?
I tacked mine in with a brad at 1 point of the dowels side to the leg. That way it still opens, but won't work it's way out. Make sure you evaluate the whole structure before you brad it in, one wrong brad and it won't open!
GREAT!! Now I have to buy a disc sander so i can make like 50 of these for Christmas presents! Awesome simple project!! Im going to get my 12 year old son in on this one!! Love the project that u can do in a day!!
This is a great project. My first one finished today. I used scrap wood that I had left over from previous projects. I definitely plan on making more. Thanks so much Steve for sharing this with us.
Watched it from the beginning to the end. Went to watch a next video of yours. Instantly went back because forgot to like it. Liked it. Now I can watch next video with a peace of mind.
Now that I have put my camper up for the winter, you come out with this plan! Have some salvaged wood from a from a glider that got destroyed in a storm. The cypress wood will be perfect for this! Thanks Steve!
I don't have space to do woodworking, like I've always watched these videos for the entertainment value alone, but this adorable little stool has me considering renting some shop space and equipment or something. Heck, I wonder how far I'd get on this with a little coping saw and a borrowed drill. Could be fun!
I enjoy steve's projects. The plans are good but watch the video . I found some tricky parts in assembly just looking at the plans. Make sure the parts fit together well before putting the reinforcing cross pieces or the parts don't fit well. I'll call my first attempt a prototype. I'll have to build another and use nonscrap quality wood.
Thank you i was looking for videos with actual plans for making this type of stool and i founs you now i finally completef it and im super satisfied you deserve a like from me :)
Cool project, I had plastic tables of this design and used them as a model to make wooden versions of the table with. nice to have plans for this, thanks Steve!
Thanks Steve for a great video and a nice little project. I'll be making your campfire seat but I'll have to use 2x4's for the mother in-laws seat! :-)
Excellent work, Mr. Steve! God keep blessing you and empowering you more and more day after Day. You have many fans here in Brazil. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
Awesome Camping, Hiking or Fishing Chair Steve Thx’s for pulling it from your archives and just a thought since you brought this Fine folding Stool up to your over 1million viewers how about doing us the same for a Matching Camping Table 😎 Thx’s Again
My dad made those back in the 70's along with a table that folded like the chair. I made them in the 90's and I still have 4 of them that I use every day. They are easy to make and last a long time. If you put a brad in one leg where the dowels are they will not move and won't work out of there holes.

I'm goin to try and do this campfire seat. If at first you don't succeed at least you'll have fire wood.
Dude... You read my mind 😂
looked all over youtube. this is the best and most compact one! ty so much for making your plans free!
I made a larger version as a camping table in high school about 18 years ago that my parents still use to this day.
Also made a larger one in high school. NSW, 'straya.
That’s a pretty cool idea!
I made the same thing my freshman year! My parents still use the table as well. :)
I was thinking of scaling this up to a table too -what dimension lumber should I use for the legs?

Hi Randolph. Just wondering how much you sell these little stools for? Thx.

What dimensions did u use for the 12 pieces ? I don’t remember him saying what the 4 measurements were
Beautiful project!
This stool just blow my mind, love it, gotta have it. Wow free plans in pdf and sketchup, thank you good Sir.

Thanks, Steve!
That's a great design! You could change it very little and turn this into a fold-up table. Great video Steve!
Now that's a thought...
I love the stool. Princess Meow Meow re-appeared at 0:35 in the lower left corner. Cats are guinea pig friends. Thanks for sharing!
Hi I have seen your video more than 50 times an you are a great teacher God bless you
Hi. This is a tricky project in the assemblying part. But it turned out great. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to Casper for sponsoring the show.
I enjoy your segments with Wyatt. It's obvious you guys have a great relationship. Clearly, you're a great dad Steve. Oh, and the seat is cool too. :D
Incredible! The PDF plans of this project are SO well done. Top notch, pro-level quality work my YT friend. Thanks from Texas!
Am I blind or do I just not see the pdf link? I can’t find it anywhere and I want to make this

I made this one for my dad and he loves it.
So from sunny South Africa, a huge Thank you.
Glad you remade this! Loved the old video but the quality was a bit rough
The pattern works great, very fun project. Thanks! :)
Amazing! clearly explained, and English is not my mother languaje!
you are a PRO!
Thanks a Lot!
AWESOME project and video! Happy you are back!!!
Do you think adding paste wax to the dowels/holes prior to assembly would help everything move, or was it already smooth enough?
Awesome build....terrific idea....
Very nice project! I could not keep from customizing it some, but it still worked! The plans were helpful.
Thank you so much sir for great tutorial now I can make folding chair to my daughter's 👍👍👍
This looks like a fun project to build and maybe a good one to build as a gift. Thanks for the plans.
Wow, it's simple to make one wood seat. Thank you for sharing
Advance congratulations for 1 million subscribers!!!
Im seeing your adds before other videos, really happy for you and wish you great success.
Great folding seat!
Make sure your dowel is a snug fit,
but not so tight it splits the wood.
Also, the closer to quarter-sawn the wood grain is,
(end-grain crossing the thickness of the 1 x 2s)
the more resistant to splitting this project will be.

GREAT!! Now I have to buy a disc sander so i can make like 50 of these for Christmas presents! Awesome simple project!! Im going to get my 12 year old son in on this one!! Love the project that u can do in a day!!
Nice one. Oh, and yes - totally unscripted commercial 😁 Love it!
These are awesome! I will make a couple for my kids this fall.
Thanks for the plans! 👍
Really great design and very simple
Those are cool, I found a table and chair set with the same design in an old house!
I made one of these yesterday. Handy tip: Sand and finish before assembling!
I missed these kind of videos. Thanks for sharing!
Omg my wood work teacher made me make this with no plans just a picture and I had so much fun wish I had your plans would’ve help a lot
Getting SOOOOOO close to the 1M mark! Early congrats, Steve! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video, even better chair design
lets get this guy to 1 millon. keep it up man!
WOW!!!!! Amazing!!!!! Panos from Greece!!!!
Looks like a nice project for tomorrow or Monday. As I have knee issues, I may adjust some of the measurements for that. Looks like a fun quick build.
Yes!
I build the 4 seat, 8 or so years ago. I love your old video's. I tac the dowels.
I can't help but think that a larger one would make a great folding workbench
Wonderful project, thanks Steve.
I just made my version of that chair today with scrap wood - thx for awesome idea :D
1 Million Subs! Congrats Steve, you deserve it. Great content.
Thank you for free plans!
What a great little stool! May have to make that one!
Thanks for the video and plans, I'm building a couple of these for our camper.
I love the Woody Woodpecker effect every time you speed up :D
This is a great project. My first one finished today. I used scrap wood that I had left over from previous projects. I definitely plan on making more. Thanks so much Steve for sharing this with us.
I’m always happy to see a new video from this channel. Keep up the good work Steve!

Congratulations on 1 M subs. Hope I will reach there one day:)
It is so good to see you Steve!
6 times you unfolded that seat. You must really like doing that..... =) Nice project!
He was limbering up the joints. Sometimes they're a bit tight when the stool is new.
Made this today and a larger version very Cool! Thank Steve!
Really enjoyed the stool idea, I will have to make a few of these for the family. Great Vid 👍

Thank you as always Steve!!! Always such a high quality video - thank you!

Nice work Steve!
We call it "The Gelding Stool"
Sit on it when the top gap isn't fully closed and find out why

Thx’s Again
عاشت الايادي يا مبدع اخوك من العراق
Awesome, thanks Steve. I made one of these to attach to my golf bag....Now, I always have a seat :)
Thank you for sharing your plans! I can’t wait to make a set of these!!
Great video Steve! I have such a campfire seat in my shop haha, it's pretty handy!

That is slick!
That is brilliant, I never know what to do with my scrap wood! Thx!!
you are doing the Lords work!
