General contractor Tom Silva and host Kevin O’Connor meet back at the shop for a unique project. Tom has some reclaimed lumber on hand that he plans to turn into a milking stool.
Difficulty: ⅗
Cost: Under $100 (provided you own the tools)
Time: One day
How to Build a Milk Stool
Note: This project requires two slabs of wood, approximately 20 by 24 by around 3 inches thick, whether reclaimed chunks or pieces of construction lumber glued together. It's possible to cut old beams into slabs and glue them together or purchase whole pieces of wood made from hemlock, pine, or other species from lumberyards.
Note: Whenever removing parts from the lockset or the door, place them in a small container. These parts can be easy to lose and expensive to replace.
1. Pass the slabs of wood through the planer until the surface is flat. If a slab wobbles, hold it against the table's surface and glue a straight piece of wood to one edge until the board is stable, and then pass it through the planer. This will result in a perfectly flat, even edge. Turn the slabs over and pass them through the planer until they reach the desired thickness (about 2 inches).
2. Create a jig from a strip of thin plywood. Drill a hole to the same diameter as the router's template collar, measure exactly 6-inches from the inside of the hole to the middle of the plywood, and drill a small hole. You'll use this to cut the seat.
3. Place the small hole of the template in the middle of one of the slabs and drive a small screw to act as an anchor. Make several passes around the slab with the router, milling progressively deeper with each pass. Continue until the router can't cut any deeper, and cut off the excess wood with a jigsaw.
4. Remove the template and swap the router bit for a flush-cut bit with a bearing on the end. Turn the slab over so it's face down, and run the router around the rest of the slab to remove the rest of the wood. Switch to a roundover bit and mill a smooth, rounded edge around the seat on both sides.
5. Turn the other slab on its edge and pass it over the benchtop joint to create one true, 90-degree edge. Be sure to hold the flattened, planed edge against the fence for accurate milling.
6. Place the 90-degree edge against the table saw bed and fence and cut the board into rough dimensions (approximately 2 ½ inches). Run these boards over the jointer to square them up, before bringing them back to the table saw for the final cut (about 2 inches for the rails and 2 ¼ inches for the legs).
7. Adjust the compound miter saw to 8 degrees in both directions. Cut the rails to length (around 5 inches) and cut the legs to length (around 12 to 16 inches). This should create splayed legs that provide a wider footprint and stability.
8. Cut mortises for floating tenons, one in the end of each rail, and two in each leg. Fill the mortises with glue, place the floating tenons inside, assemble the legs, and allow the glue to dry.
9. Flip the seat so the screw hole in the center is facing up, and place the chair leg assembly on top. Center the assembly, pre-drill holes in each corner (two per rail), and drive screws through the rails to fasten them to the seat.

I could watch Tommy build random things 24/7 and never get bored.
That planner tip is solid gold! That’s Tommy!
from trash to treasure THIS OLD HOUSE never gets old
I like how he and Kevin (who I suspect is quite skilled in his own right) work together in such a complimentary manner. Both exhibit quiet humility and confidence. I imagine working with these guys would be a great experience.
I loved the planer tip! I always assumed you needed around 31 small shims hot glued in place around the board to achieve enough support for flattening. Very cool little stool as well. Cheers!
Just what I need. A stool to sit on while I drink my milk.
There's two types of these videos. Tommy wanting to show you that you only need hand tools and Tommy showing off $4k in power tools. This is the latter. 😂
Kevin looks like a little kid in wood shop that made something for the first time in the thumbnail.
Tommy is the man !! Blessings 🙏
GUYS BEAUTIFUL STOOL GLAD TO SEE TOM BACK TO THE FUTURE AGAIN GOOD JOB
Adorable, that's right!
Great job guys, thanks 👍
You guys are awesome!
Grate! another tool I need to get!
Tom Silva Is Amazing !
Yes he's and then some!!!
I always like what I see on this channel!
Pretty cool, thanks
The new intro is good and simple 👍
Masterclass
I used a single leg stool to milk my 4-H gernsey cow. Looks like a "T". My aunt gave me her well-used model! My cow project dates in the late 50's to early 60's.
I had to use "kickers" on here.
In my place, it’s called Tommy stool. Or Lil Jimmy stool. Never got bored watching Tommy.
That is a fancy sah he is cutting those compound mitres with.
Nice!
If only i had a planer, joiner, compound miter and router…
Some day
Don't forget the Domino tool ($1,000)
im sad watching these guys get old.
Tommy is the grandfather I have never had
My grandpa’s milking stool only had one leg.
Tommy’s offshoot program should be called “Tommy Time.”
3-legged might work better on non-flat surfaces…
Everytime I watch your video my wallet feels lighter.
I would love to see you all of you back to a list one full project i know we all getting older but i thing will be nice
What???
@@Stillnapie house remodeling something
Everything that you use to do guys
@@spiridondimaris465 that still makes no sense…???
What you dont understand back in the 90is you guys use to do big jobs about everything random never stopped if that's what you asking that's what I meant
is possible to do compound miter with out a mitersaw? I have a jigsaw a circular saw.
Yes. Layout the cut on the leg. Set the base of your circular saw to eight degrees. Make a cut by approaching at eight degrees. Depending on your jig saw you could do the same if it has an adjustable base. Alternatively, you could also cut it with a hand saw. A final possibility is to round over the end of the legs.
Hi Mr. Tom, I'd like to buy the milk chair in this video. Who do I contact?
How many homes have all these tools? I have a power screwdriver, but thats it. I accept donations! lol
Nice milking stool. Of course, any farmer 200 years ago could make one with an axe, drawknife, and auger. No need for thousands of dollars of machinery. Do drawknife manufacturers sponsor shows?
Can you do some projects with some basic power tools.
Could it be built with 3 legs for perfect stability?
Real milk stools always had 3 legs, this one would break in a few weeks use in a barn!
@@jay90374 Why would it break? I've never used one in a barn and I can't think of any reason why 4 legs is worse than 3.
@@kevinadrian9366 Uneven ground causes one leg to be off the ground causing flexing then breakage.

I'm not sure Norm would approve of all the fancy high falutin tools they used.
fancy?
@@AaronGeller I cant remember if I was being sarcastic. Or commenting on the festool stuff. Go and watch the early shows with Norm hes using a craftsman contractor saw and hand tools
I would like to see this done without the Domino, the Domino seems to be a deal buster in DIY
Dowels…
@Tekagi right! 🤣
@Tekagi That planer and jointer are very light weight inexpensive versions of those tools. Unless you are proficient with and have the required hand tools how else are you going to build it? With your teeth??
2 maids a milking( all together) and a Patridge In pear ........
Festool domino jointer costs over a grand. Would like to see more accessible tools used for these projects.
just use dowels....
Cost more than I paid for my contractor saw twenty years ago!
I thought milking stools had 3 legs
1:21 so this is not flat? Lol
First
Oh wow your so cool!!! Like literally how did you do that? The whole world is dying to know!
For those who are lactose intolerant 💩
Don't milking stools normally have 3 legs, so they don't wobble? Milking parlors and stanchions aren't known for flat floors.
Exactly my thoughts. AT 82 years old all the ones I saw in the barn as a kid had 3 legs for the reasons you mention
Really appreciate IKEA, save lots of time and effort and $$$ by using my phone to magically get the stool shipped to front door
It's a shame that Chinese made stool won't last long enough for your ancestors to inherit it.
But the fun is in making it, not buying it. Everyone knows it's almost always cheaper to buy it, but where is the fun in that?
LOL 😆😆 how much $$$ do you think this cost them?
Nothing. It’s salvaged wood!
Nice stool but too many legs. My father milked a lot of cows for old yankee farmers and he said they always had only two or three legs so that they would be unbalanced. This way you wouldn't be able to doze off and pretend you were milking at 4:30 in the morning.
OOOPS!!! A milking stool has 3 legs, NOT 4!
That festool miter saw is a joke
Why?
@@Stillnapie i used to work with it and dont like it.
@@Stillnapie now i use Dewalt and it's like switching from honda civic to corvette
@@marekkrepa9982 Honda civic is way more reliable than a Corvette, just saying!
@@jay90374 than drive one
Milking stools have three legs. Just sayin'....
Come on be honest, lets see some out takes when things go not quite right!
the stool is obviously made of wood, not milk.
nice catch, I expect them to correctly name the video wood stool.
@@farerse milk stool is short for milking stool for people in the know!
@@E-Kat nah Sam T and I got this
Wow you must have no life!!
