Spent the last week slowly building another stool, this time completely by hand. This came out of my last post where there was a discussion about how hard it would be. Overall it wasn't that much harder then the first one. Only arduous part was ripping the legs out of the stock, and part of that was my rip saw needed sharpening.
I think it turned out pretty great, but my leg placement makes it look a bit wonky. The grain pattern on the seat is nice though.
Full pictures and process below the break
Step one find (or glue up) a large slab of wood, this one was sitting out in the garage. It's a piece of Ash.
Step two cut off part of the slab for the seat. (Also I still haven't made a proper handle for my vice. It's fine. It's only been 6 months)
Step three mark and cut the corners to make an octagon. I tried cutting a couple as I did in the picture, and a couple across the face. Both ways worked.
End up with a nice octagon, now plane it smooth
Then take the remaining bit of the original slab and rip it into three legs. (Forgetting to take a picture is optional.) Also take a break half way through and sharpen your saw. It makes the second half a lot easier
Finally end up with three legs, turn those legs into octagons and shave down the ends, My previous posts have a bit more info on that process.
Glue some legs on, and you have yourself a stool. All it needs now is some bits cut off, some sanding, and it’s ready for some shellac.
These were all the tools I used. (Yes I did cheat a bit with the hand drill, but I don’t have the right bits to put into my brace).
Tools:
1. Marking Gauge (Could use a combination square as well)
2. Compass
3. 5/8th drill Bit, and 5/8th reamer, 5/8th tenon cutter.
4. Power Drill
5. Jack Plane
6. Block Plane
7. Spokeshave
8. Rip Saw
9. Crosscut saw
10. Bevel Gauge.

Here is a helpful hint: The Stanley Sabre Saw is not the right tool for cutting your own hair.
Experience is the best teacher.
