How to Make a Mortise and Tenon Shop Stool

I needed a stool for my workshop so in this video I make one using a simple design that would look just as good in your kitchen as in your workshop. I made it from Southern Yellow pine with an Iroko top. I use mortise and tenon joints to make this a very strong build and I also carve out the seat on my CNC to make it more comfortable.

Nice build Tommy, using biscuits to align the pieces is a very good idea. Looking forward to your next video 👍

Thanks James 🙂

Good job - grand project for the next time I want a shop stool. The tenons done on the panel saw was impressive , quick and accurate. Keep making furniture and sharing the videos. Liked shared and subscribed!

Thanks David and welcome to the channel 🙂

Excellent build Tommy and very well explained, I like the stopped chamfer method and agree that a moulded seat is a must

Thanks William 🙂

Nice job on the stool, always enjoy your videos. I didn't even mind that you were using the CNC machine, they're just starting to grow on me a little..😅🤣😅

Thanks Bob 🙂. Glad to hear your coming around to cnc 🤣🤣

Another great video Tommy. Looks the the dust extraction on the CNC needs a little work though! 🤣

Thanks, that's on my to do list so within the next few years 🤣 or when I win the lottery 😀

[@brendanlenane2685]

Great build video Tommy. I see you're getting plenty of use out of the cnc

Thanks Brendan , yes its only when you have one you realise how many things you can use it for 🙂

[@allanbeasley4565]

Thank you Tommy. I always learn a lot from you. I don’t need a CNC but I definitely want one.👍 Great job!

Thanks Allan 🙂. Go one treat yourself to a cnc 😀

Just what I needed. Thanks Tommy. I followed your dimensions exactly and ended up with a very nice stool for the workshop. I used cedar for the base and corotu for the seat. As a beginner I'm delighted how it turned out. Corotu is a common hardwood easily and more importantly cheaply available here in Panama.

Thanks Kevin, I'm glad you found it helpful 👍

Good evening Tommy. You always make woodwork look so easy I know it is not you are so gifted to be able to produce such quality work and also explain the processes as you work. Thank you.

Thanks Andrew 🙂

Southern Yellow Pine Tommy?? How do u get ur hands on that wood here in Ireland?? Are u on Ireland or America?? I'm wondering how u could get ur hands on Yellow pine from America unless u live there or is it possible to get it here in Ireland. I struggle to find a good timber merhants in Dublin.. I really want to go to a proper timber yard to get rough sawn timber boards but to find that here is weirdly tough Tommy.. Do u have any places u know of ?? Any help would be greatly appreciated pal.. Thanks for this great video. I need a stool like this for my workshop..
