Will definitely be making a tool rest like you have when turning the legs. That would be PERFECT for turning rolling pins. I get so tired of moving the tool rest around when making those. lol Great video man, need to post more!
Thanks so much man, yeah I definitely need to post more, my problem is I'll film a bunch and then be close to finished and stop filming because I just want to get it done haha. But yeah that long tool rest is a game changer, really easy to make but makes your work flow so much better.
My wife had a stool that she sits on on the porch when she smokes. I brought it from the dumpster and it lasted 5 years. She recently fell because the stool had reached the end of its life. I started the project in secret, glued wood together for the seat, made 3 legs and now I'm looking for a way to put it together. I can already see the smile when she gets a new stool.
A very nice stool with a straightforward and well-crafted design. I offer no suggestions, but I do offer one thought: If you drill a larger hole (about 3/8" to 1/2" deep) the size of the leg diameter where it joins the seat and then drill a through hole on the same center, for the tenon,then the leg just below the tenon will sit a bit inside the stool seat and not show any of the tenon. This can be a nice touch, adding to a somewhat cleaner design, if it interests you. Is it necessary? Of course not. Again, great stool and an interesting video. Best of luck!
Thanks so much Jerry! I've actually done that technique on a bar height version of this stool just to add a little more rigidity. But I actually do like the way it looks when you leave the tenon exposed a bit rather than hiding it. I agree though, definitely gives a little cleaner more seamless look. Thanks for watching! ✌️
Very nice video! I was in doubt whether it takes a special Forstner bit to drill at an angle :) Well, not anymore, seems slight angles can be done in a drill press. All important steps shown, a very nice "no nonsense" video. Only thing, looking at 5:08 at the dimensions, feels like the legs could have been a bit more slender in the middle. Could be the angle of the photo though. Would like to see more of your work! Please make a bench in similar style :)
Thanks so much for the feedback! Yeah the angle is shallow enough where the point of the forstner bit still hits the wood first. Its definitely possible to go a little more slender on the leg but to keep a cigar-like taper would make the bottom more slender, I would just be hesitant due to where the stretcher is mortised into the leg you loose a lot of wood in the leg so it might weaken the leg. I hope to make some more videos soon, tough to get done among commissions, thanks for stopping by!
Thanks Jody! I'm definitely not a geometry major either but I honestly just hold up a leg to a seat that isn't drilled out yet and see what looks good. There were a few iterations that didn't come out so great and when in doubt just check out a stool or chair you like and go from there.
I hope you still make videos and respond to this but Dude love the style does it have a certain name? And can you tell me how you angle the seat to drill the holes? And what angles did you use on the 2 same and 1 offset leg?
Hey thanks so much Nicholas, the seats are at 78 degrees, all the legs are actually drilled at the same angle one just looks off set depending on what angle you look at the stool. To drill them I just made a jig that really just an auxiliary table set to the 78 degree angle and put in the drill press. Also not sure the style , kind of a modern shaker maybe?? Anyway hope this helps and thanks for watching ✌️
Made my own stool based on your design and very pleased with the result. Many thanks for your video. May I ask - what is the diameter and thickness of the seat (before turning)?
Peter thanks so much man! I try to keep the seat blanks to 1-1/4" thick befor turning. Send me some pictures I'd love to see it. chris@northsummitstudio.com
Thanks for sharing your work, very enjoyable to watch! Makes me want to built one myself. Have you ever tried "regular" hide glue (beads), that "brown glue" stuff seems rather pricey.
Thanks so much Max! I haven't tried the beads but I've been meaning to and yeah the Old Brown Glue is definitely a bit pricey but I guess you're paying for the convenience. The beads seem like a little bit of an initial investment, I'll probably take the leap eventually because I do really like using hide glue for a lot of things.
The finish is Osmo Polyx Satin. The circle jig is just a rail that runs in a groove running perpendicular to the blade in a piece of plywood. The rail has a nail sticking out of the end, mark your center on and place it in the mail. Slide the piece closer to the blade until you reach your desired size and spin the piece until your circle is completely cut out. It’s hard to explain but I’m sure you can find a video on how to make one somewhere in UA-cam. But maybe that’s a future video idea. Thanks for watching!
Not sure what constitutes as a “thin seat”these are around a 1 1/4” thick and have held up for years just fine. It would have to be a pretty hefty load to compromise a piece of wood that thick. Thanks for watching ✌️
I think this would have been a much better video if you had explained how you locate the seat holes, what angles you cut them out, and what glue you are using. I assume it is some type of hide glue. I for one am not a fan of UA-cam videos that don't give you all the information you need to make a project. It just wastes time.
Thanks for the suggestion John, definitely see where your coming from. Stilling finding the balance of what is used to show and what will just bore people to death 😅. I’ve toyed around with making separate videos that explain the details a bit more to fill I. The gaps. And yup I use Old Brown hide glue.
@@NorthSummitStudio I didn't think I would get a reply so thanks. I have seen a number of videos that do not have an audio description of the process but have screen comments that fill in the blanks. Perhaps this might be a happy medium. By the way I did like the quality of your finished products. John
@@johncummins3254 that’s not a bad idea, we’ll see what comes in the future, if I actually make another video…maybe this will give me a reason to get my butt in gear, Thanks!
Omg you caught me ! You’re totally right, it’s not at all because the machine doesn’t leave a glue ready surface so I clean it up with a hand plane and make sure it’s still square, probably not that at all......also it’s a jointer, not a planer, or a planner. But thanks for coming I today 😘

Nice looking stool. Good job with your first video. Continued success.

Nice work, enjoyed that one...
snovskypolovsky thanks! Enjoyed making it so will be making some more soon. 👍
Hi! Great work and nice design. How did you remove the screw holes after turning the seat on the lathe?
What angle did you drill your leg holes at?
Figuring out legs angles? Yea geomotry major I'm not. Beautiful job. Sometimes it's just nice to watch.🌲🌳
Thanks Jody! I'm definitely not a geometry major either but I honestly just hold up a leg to a seat that isn't drilled out yet and see what looks good. There were a few iterations that didn't come out so great and when in doubt just check out a stool or chair you like and go from there.

Great video....can you please tell me what that green spinning machine is called?
Thanks! That’s called a lathe.

Plans available

How do you make the circle cutting jig on the bandsaw? And what finish did you rub in? Nice video!
The finish is Osmo Polyx Satin. The circle jig is just a rail that runs in a groove running perpendicular to the blade in a piece of plywood. The rail has a nail sticking out of the end, mark your center on and place it in the mail.

It’s hard to explain but I’m sure you can find a video on how to make one somewhere in UA-cam. But maybe that’s a future video idea. Thanks for watching!
Nice work, but that seat probably needs to be a half inch thicker. Old books show thin seats only good for plant stands.
Not sure what constitutes as a “thin seat”these are around a 1 1/4” thick and have held up for years just fine. It would have to be a pretty hefty load to compromise a piece of wood that thick. Thanks for watching ✌️
@@NorthSummitStudio , have ya been to Walmart lately? Ha
@@robertcornelius3514 obviously, where else would I go for furniture design ideas?
Was that a home-made finish you used?
Not home made at all just Osmo Polyx clear satin
where can I get directions on hot build this? with angle measurements etc
There are no directions for this really ,if there was a demand for it it’s possible I’d make some plans though.
Hi I have a few questions.
How did you make holes for the angled legs? Where did you fit the brass pegs? And what’s the angle of the legs?
I think this would have been a much better video if you had explained how you locate the seat holes, what angles you cut them out, and what glue you are using. I assume it is some type of hide glue. I for one am not a fan of UA-cam videos that don't give you all the information you need to make a project. It just wastes time.

What tool is he using at 00:42?
Hey Jacques, that's a circle cutting jig I made for the bandsaw. Hope that helps!
@@NorthSummitStudio yeah thank you!
I heard about woodprix good opinions.
when you have an electrical planner and you also use your hand planner only for youtube to show craftsmanship.ridiculous
Omg you caught me ! You’re totally right, it’s not at all because the machine doesn’t leave a glue ready surface so I clean it up with a hand plane and make sure it’s still square, probably not that at all......also it’s a jointer, not a planer, or a planner. But thanks for coming I today 😘
