  • I had one piece of baltic birch ply left in my shop and decided to use it to make this carved patterned plywood stool with solid oak legs.
    Thank you to this weeks sponsor, Arbortech! I used the Turboplane and Contour Sander on this build. To find out more about Arbortech products, visit their website: bit.ly/arbortechtools

      I think it was very well executed. At the same time, I lean against the idea of telling people how to make content. The part of TH-cam I love is the huge variety of personality and style I encounter. Do you man, your work stands on its own!

    I really appreciated your narration. Really, I love music but that's not what brought me to your video. Now, I know music can be relaxing, but if you could just lower its volume a little bit. You make wonderful furniture and it's soooo nice to have you explain the whys and hows, and your extra tips like the one on the dowels. THANKS A LOT!!!

Thanks for these patterned plywood ideas, I'm certain I'll be using them for many years to come.

    That thing turned out sick, Michael! I think one of my favorite details is where you make the bottom of the plywood kind of rounded and come out and kiss each leg. It is a subtle detail, but one that you got totally right. Great job!

    Excellent video! Loved the narration and when you keep your mistakes and then explain how you fix it is a sign of a good teacher. This stool is beautiful and an art piece as well as practical. I've seen patterned wood layouts before but not with plywood. Very cool. I'm not usually one for music in a build video, but this was very nice, sort of the '40s, smoky lounge-like music. I wanted to wear all black with a black bursae hat with a long cigarette holder while watching, lol.
