Nice project Dave. I made similar, but larger and if memory serves (sometimes doesn't), I did 5 degs. on mine. Used 2x4s.
Also made larger, put locking wheels on it and my benchtop planer sits on top. Top is just a piece of high density particle board I had in the shop.
That screw caddy is nice........I just keep mine in the boxes they come in on a shelf.
Hey, thanks for checking out my project! It's awesome to hear that you made a similar one, but with your own twist. And hey, if the boxes work for you, then that's all that matters. Keep on creating, my friend!
Just built this got it together after buying longer pocket screws the recommended 38mm only had 2 threads stick out of the wood ,so went with the recommended length for 2 1/2 material.
Also once together noticed I had the leg leaning front to back, when they should be left to right with long point to the outside and short point to the end side...nothing a little bit of sanding want fix. Over all I'm satisfied with the build very comfortable !!
Also I used all recycled wood from pallets and this was my first build using pocket holes.
Nice sir
Thanks and welcome
Champion of champions. Australian icon. Little giggle when the examination gets a little complex. I wanna be Dave Stanton when I grow up.
Hi WhoDatBe Dare, be yourself and think big!
@@DavidStanton LOL! Striving and wanting to be better IS being myself. But thanks for the encouraging response. Much appreciated.
Nice project, it's on my list now. I also really like the wax finish, especially for a shop. Thanks Dave
Love your stool design, and your presentation. U dun good! Thank U for sharing.
Thank you so much!
- Like this stool & it's build a lot. Will try it. Thanx 4 sharing.
Send me some pictures when you're done.
Finally someone who explains cut lengths in Imperial and metric, I'm hopeless with Imperial very informative thank you.
Happy to explain more than most do. lol.
Love it, Dave! Thanks for posting the dim's (and Pete G!)! Going to the Big Box to pick up the lumber for this today. I've needed a shorter stool while working at the bench. This is perfect!
Thanks for the compliment RHI Hodag!
thanks for your multi tips its a great help
Nice project Dave. Thanks for putting it together. I’ll be making one soon enough. Would interesting to try it with Dominos, working in the angles... But first, a pocket hole version.
Nice project!! I’d like to see a contoured seat.
Great idea! How about you make one and send me a photo or 2?
- Watched the video for the first time tonite. G R E A T project, well done, explanations tweaked my interest to try it. Thanx.
Thanks, Dave. I wish you'd shown the whole process, instead of just trying to talk us through it after the fact. Just my opinion and I know that this video is a few years old.
Perfectly executed. I like it. Going to build one for my Batcave.
Thanks for the compliment!
Hey David,
I decided to make the stool. I was going to follow metric measurements, but when i grabbed my tape measure, its only imperial lol! Atleast, I tried. Anyways, I decided to use scrap lumber that I had. I had no 2x2's for the legs, so i ripped down some scrap 2x6's and made my own. I made the whole stool out of dimensional lumber. The braces were 2x4's and the top is 2x6's. Learned quite a bit by making that small project. It also builds confidence. Thanks for putting this project on. Once I get some finer blades for the table and mitre saw, one day I will try it again with nice wood. Oh and its not wobbly!
Great to hear that it went well and you enjoyed yourself!
Terrific design, Dave. It can be as little fuss as slamming some 2 x 4 material together to something pretty but casual like yours. Really calls for multiple goes doesn't it? Great project. Thanks.
I just finished the stool... perfect height for my bench! I added thin rubber to the bottom of the legs to prevent my concrete floor from ruining the wood. Thanks for showing it, Dave.... and I just ordered a Miterset too.
I need to see pictures Bob!
Thanks for supporting the channel by using my link for the miterset. I is a very handy bit of kit! Any one else need accurate angles? Click the link. th-cam.com/video/FabIJLTnr4s/w-d-xo.html
David Stanton I just sent them to via Facebook messenger.
thanks for the vid David. Love your work !!
My pleasure!
I like the screw caddy for the pocket hole hardware. I need one like that.
Hi Dave. Thanks so much for putting this video together. I followed your design instructions, and it turned out a treat. I even finished it with wax as you suggested (I used bee's wax). I'm really happy with the outcome. I used 15 sections of 2x1 pine for the seat (joined with glue), and I used screws through the legs rather than the pocket joints (I don't have a pocket joiner). Thanks again, Dave.
Andy
Send me some photos if you are comfortable with me showing them on my live show!
Happy to, once I work out how to attach photos! Cheers, A
Watched this video this morning and built one this afternoon. Thanks for the cut list in the video. I used my domino. It was my second project with it and it worked like a charm.
That is great that it went so well and also that you shared it with me!
excellent job keep up the great ideas.I have watched your videos for months love watching craftsman.
Thank you Charlie! I guess I better keep at it.
Nice job, Dave!
I drool every time I see your workshop! i'm stuck using a two and a half car garage with all my heavy tools on wheels to make room for cars!
Thanks gac914!
Awesome build!
Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing Dave.
Cheers from Chicago USA
Hope you enjoy it!
@@DavidStantonMost definitely Dave, thanks again!
Great tutorial Dave, looking forward to see more projects on your channel .
+espn mk . Thank you. I have a few here already, you might want to have a look at the playlist I made. Click this link. th-cam.com/play/PLlD-EUdC407-l6KGxe_dSKFD9AK2Q327j.html
Very cool project now I know what I can build with with some of my line scraps I have laying around.
+Darrin DeShazer thanks for watching Darrin!
Looks great, I might need to make a couple.
Take some pictures of them and send to me, love to see finished results!
Great little build and recycled too. I just scored some reclaimed Oregon today by chance, stool or step stool on the cards once I get it milled up I think. Might steal some elements of this design, its lovely.
Fixit Fingers, you will have to send some pics in.
@@DavidStanton a year or so since I saw this the first time and the time has come ;) My challenge is to make this without the pocket holes, but I think I will steal most of the design otherwise, will also be Oregan. Wish me luck, I'll send you some pic ;)
@@FixitFingers Looking forward to it!
Dave, I watched your presentation and went into my workshop and made one, smaller dimension timber for the top and rails but your instructions were so clear I had no trouble reproducing a great stool. Now my son wants 6 made for his family breakfast bar.
Thanks and kind regards
Stephen
That is great to hear Stephen! Are you able send me a few photos? My email if you can davestantonfans@gmail.com
Yep Sent toay
Nice stool. Great little project. Just found your channel today. Going to check out some more videos.
Thanks Angie!
David, That looked really nice. I've been looking for a stool to build for my garage shop and this one looks nice and wide (like me). I can't wait to check out more of your videos. I really like how you speak with confidence in your video. A lot of the woodworkers I watch are good, but their speaking skills leave something to be desired.
+Joseph Cassata . Thank you for the words of support Joseph. I am often told I speak too much and too loud, haha. Keep coming back and enjoy the channel, share with your friends if they are interested.
I set both the miter and the bevel angle to the same number, say 7-degrees. Make a cut at one end of the table leg. Then, without rotating the table leg after making the cut, slide the leg to its other end and make a second cut just like the first one. Done. I repeat the step three more times if my project has four legs. Play around the positioning of the four cut legs until all four splay out in four different directions.
nice work Dave. This is something I'll give a go. I don't own a pocket hole jig so I'll be improvising with biscuit joints I guess. Cheers Matthew.
Hi Matt. I only used the kreg system to show its versatility. Biscuits will give a cleaner finish without looking like swiss cheese when you look underneath, lol.
Great project. Great job. I need this stool for a work table I just built. It will be perfect. I think I can do this one. Thanks.
My pleasure Wayne! Send me a photo when you finish it.
BTW.... I really enjoyed the video...your lighthearted approach and kind acknowledgement of others possible lack of resources is refreshing.
good job David!
merci beaucoup ! a+
Thanks JC!
Thanks. That is one beautiful, well made stool. I made two of them and used 5 degree rather than 7 degree angles so the legs don't stick out quite as far. The 5 degree angles seem to provide plenty of stability although I'm sure the 7 degree angles provide more.
Nice work!
@@DavidStanton Thanks. One more tip I've gathered from other plans is that you can bevel the top rails to the same angle as the legs so as to allow for them to fit flush to the bottom of the seat rather than just the outer edge meeting the seat bottom.
Sounds like a plan klink370 but that requires a bit more skill. This project was for people who are starting out. Please send me some photos of your stools.
Our new house (we move in 3 weeks) has a waterfall island bench in kitchen. We want stools without backs so they push right underneath. These would be great. The flooring is Tas Oak so matching timber would be expensive. Must look for some second hand. My daughter and boyfriend are renovating their house. Spent some time recently cutting up old hardwood frame into firewood lengths. Bummer.
Hope you had a great Christmas.
Greg
Missed opportunities only make us look more closely the next time!
Correct there Dave
Awesome stool! I love it. I've been looking to get into woodworking for a few weeks now; I've been a computer nerd all my life but I want to start building things with my hands!
The power tools are still a bit daunting to me, so I plan on picking up some hand tools to begin with but the goal is to pick up a new hobby, and enough skill to build a table with bench style seating for mine and my partners new home when it's built (in around 12 months or so!).
For me personally, I'd love to see some content for small beginner style projects - preferably that can be done with hand tools.
Anyway, keep up the good work! Loving the videos :)
+Andrew Harrison Hi Andrew. I would suggest an electric drill at least to accompany your hand tool selection. You mention simple projects... any in mind?
Oh absolutely, I think that's the one thing I'll get that's powered (to begin with). I just want to build my confidence up, and learn some basics before stepping into power tools.
Well, I have absolutely no experience at all in woodworking, but I understand some of the easiest projects are cutting boards? Then maybe some of the best to learn joining are boxes?
I'd love to see a guide on maybe some nice cutting boards. I've found some around TH-cam but honestly, I find your videos far, far easier to follow and much more thorough for a beginner like myself!
Thanks again for all the hard work with your videos.
Very nice project, David.
+Humus Woodwork Thank you. Are you going to give it a go?
+David Stanton Course, no doubt it will be one of my next workshop projects.
hi david, where did u pick the recycled timber from - was that a bunnings store as the label resembles bunnings. thnx diya melbourne
It was reclaimed from a roof frame I built a long time ago.
Dear David, I always wanted to ask you if this table on which you are showing your bench is made of marble. It is very similar to what we have here in Brazil. I imagine it is just an imitation because it breaks easily at the edges. Greetings.
Hi Martinho Souza! Formica.
Hi David,
I am organising my screws, nuts and bolts in my workshop, I was just wondering what brand are the plastic hardware containers under the bench you are working on. Where do you get them in Australia? I am located in Brisbane, Queensland.
Thank you,
Andrew.
Hi Andy. I got mine from where I work part time. www.carbatec.com.au/workshop-accessories/storage-containers There is a store in Brisbane.
You don't say but i'm guessing when you pocket hole the rails, you have the 7degree flat face down on the KREG jig i.e. the wood is not perpendicular to the KREG so the pocket holes are at an angle?
Correct.
Hi, thanks for video. I am only starting woodworking and now read a book about woodworking basics. Based on the book, because of season temperature changes, such stool top connection will destroy the whole structure or I misunderstood something?
That only applies to wider boards that are still not seasoned and also not sealed.
I'm building six of these and I'm having a lot of fun doing it. One thing I didn't think about was just how many screws you have in each one of them.
I would have to count them...maybe watch it again and see how many there are per joint and then multiply by number of joints?
+David Stanton there are 36 in them. I plan on putting a short backrest on mine so that will add another 8. I ended up buying every 2 inch screw Lowes had.
Post some photos when you are finished!
+David Stanton I will.
I never could figure out how to post the pics so I sent them to you via messenger.
Now i really want a Festool Domino. No more beer and lunches for a while.
+Stephen Wallbank . Oh dear Stephen, you have it bad!
Nice Job on the stool Dave but I'm troubled. We are dealing with a pyramid. Every joint will be a compound angle including the rails. The 7 degree face angle on the rails is fine but there is no mention of the edge angle. Muggins me then has to assume it's square. This results in gappy joints. The edge angle for a 7 degree stool is 89.5 degrees from the inside face, making the inside face longer than the outside.. Small bikkies you say but it makes a difference when multiplied by 4. Square edge angles work too if you can tighten the screws to blazes. Just sayin'.
It is all 7 degrees, pretty sure I showed that in the video.
@@DavidStanton Yep, all 7 degrees except the edge angle of the rails. If I could send you a picture you would know what I mean. Cutting the rails at a compound angle of 7 degrees and 90 degrees is not quite right. Pedants like me need to cut at a compound angle of 7 degrees and 89.5 degrees is all I'm saying.
Hi David, what Thicknesser do you use
+Damian Curtis . Hi Damian. I have 2. A 15 inch helical head machine that is very heavy and the other is a benchtop machine that is also a helical head machine. Both are Carbatec branded.
Hey Dave - I was searching your site and came across this gem! I want to make the stool, but I do have a question. For the rails, you say in the video that they are 1 1/2" x 3 1/4", but when you attach them, you put a 1/4" spacer in so they are set back a bit. So wouldn't the dimension be 1 1/4 x 3 1/4? Also, when you give the lengths of them, you say 12 5/8" etc., I am assuming all of the mitered cuts are measured from long point to long point. Thanks for the video! I really like the stool! What is the final height of the stool from floor to top of the seat? Cheers!
It was a long time ago Russ but the height is 690 mm
@@DavidStanton Thanks so much Dave! I really appreciate it!
Pocket hole jointery is not "caarpenters way"....say old carpenters...😀
I like your style! The stool looks great but I can't find finished wood at 38 x 38 - only 42 x 42 but the proportions don't seem right.
Hi Laurie Gordon! You can always rip the timber down to the right dimensions.
@@DavidStanton Thanks Dave. Obvious really... I've only got an old Triton compact table & never tried ripping a thin piece before - but why not!
All I have to use and make this is a hand electric saw, a hand saw, and a drill. Call me crazy but its my first time trying to make a stool . Wish me luck. Nice exhibit though.
You can do it!
@@DavidStanton I thought so ,so I went ahead to try and make a mini stool to practice for the big one. I figured out the compound angles and all, but what is beating me is doing the pocket holes without pocket tool or extension screw driver or even clamps. Heck send me a pocket tool and I might just try ,😁😄 So I might take the easier road and make an all squared stool without the compound angles to save me the pain.😄 But I love the idea/ challenge and would love to try in the future
So can you let us see the cut list, thanks , good stool
Eddie, just hit pause in the first minute when I show you the cutting list.
that mark is the square, which appears 10:50 minutes
I think Dave lied on the time it took him to make this stool. Gathering the material, setting and marking the angle, the lenghts etc. Is time consuming. Drilling the pocket holes . I beleive just assembling it together would take at least 45 minutes.
