This is just a quick shop stool I built to replace the rickety metal bar stool I had inherited with the place. I need a tall stool because my assembly table is 41” tall and I can’t stand for long periods of time.
This is built with no particular plan, using scrap 3/4” plywood, used pocket hole screws salvaged from an old custom cabinet, some 1 1/2” 18g nails, glue, no finish.
The tools: Jig saw, Band saw, router with Ogee bit, #2 square drive, Kreg jig, cordless drill, Makita ROS/150g Gator Grit sand paper and a carpenters square.
It took about 20 minutes to put together and the only thing left out of a 24X32 (ish) sheet of plywood are a couple of triangle pieces about 4” on a short side.

It may not be purty, but it works!

I like it. I sit down to glue up and finish a lot of projects and my old 4 legged stool is getting rickety. This design looks simple enough that even I may be able to handle it!

Thanks all.
It certainly comes in handy, except I got use to the rocking motion of the other one.
I probably need to put some metal/rubber feet on this one as it does slip a bit.
Andy, anything you come up with will be twice as better than I will!
