Hell pottzy, seems like you can also actually manipulate wood other than just a keyboard on Show shall go on.

Nice choice of timber and the shape is nearly a convoluted as my mind… great job… on the stool, not my mind!

Now all you need is to put 4 large stones under each leg and with your Maloof inspiration, you and Wendy can rock away… much like wsTC and Carol on his Rocking Adirondacs.

PS. How did you know your bum slopes 15°?

That’s a pretty chair/stool alright, Pottz. But yeah, it looks a little shallow. And maybe more depth would’ve let you make the leg joints sturdy enough without screws… hmm. Dang pretty, though!

thanks dave.i guess when charles designed this stool he must not ever have sat on it or he would have made it deeper.good for kids though.

Yep, we all eventually have to plug in the power cord manually... unless you had Alexa!

Cool work Pottz!
I like that blended powertool/handtool approach.
Its looks like it turned out great after all the dust settled.
This looks like it was a fun build.

Hey Pottz,

I just got an email that you dropped a stool. Then I see this amazing work that you have done. I mean it that is very cool and well done! I am curious about how you made the joints. I think I need to take a Maloof class to understand the basics.

That is fine work!

Beautiful work, but who has time to sit around when work is to be done?? LOL

the yellow and green handled tool on the lower left is a proxxon grinder,you got one of those ducks? if not you should,something i think you could make good use of.
