      It doesn't help that our world is designed around the luxury of 'sitting'. Even 'dropping the kids off at the pool' is luxurious, yet not natural if you're sitting. The 'Asian squat' is much more natural. Using squatter toilets takes some getting used to, but actually is more natural, and just works better. I grew to prefer the squatter toilets while teaching in Asia.

    Here in Denmark the tradesmen laying pavement use this instead of kneeling down all day long, it however has a wooden ball at the end so it doesn't sink into the ground and provides more range of motion so you can reach longer from your position. I have considered making one for myself, and with your great instruction with emphasis on the design and important details it's hard to come up with an excuse

      For garden work I prefer to make a cut in a tennisball and stick that on the end of the leg. This prevents the leg from sinking into the ground. I also think it provides more grip on a paved surface than a hard smooth wooden ball would though I have not tried the latter.

      pavement as in bricks? In the US at least, we do all the asphalt stuff standing up and using rakes, lutes, etc, and heavy machinery. And with bricks, for my crew at least, you have to be leaning over on your butt so you can ace the alignment- if you lay just one brick too high or too low, it compounds and by the time you're at the other side you're several inches off.

    If you work a lot in soft soil, a pipe threaded on both ends with a pipe flange secured to each end, one screwed into the underside of the seat and one simply threaded into the pipe end will provide a larger footprint and not sink into the ground as much. An additional feature is that the stool can be flipped over and the bottom flange used to support a work piece while working out in the field. The holes in the flange work good for straightening nails and such also. Probably many more uses.

      Take a tennis ball, cut a hole in it, then fill the ball with quickcrete or anything similar.
      Drill a screw through the side of the pole. Not far from the bottom.
      Shove that ball of quickcrete onto the pole over the nail and let it harden. Cut away the tennis ball and your Gucci.
      Will be a little heavier, but it'll serve the purpose easily.

    My immediate thoughts are to replace the wooden seat with something like a molded fiberglass or wide saddle type bike seat, the latter would be likely found on a kid's tricycle; attach the belt so that the seat hangs off of it and the belt can be strapped to the actual waist. And put a rubber foot from a cane or crutches. I guess my point is that it's a fantastic idea and can be built to custom needs with found items as well. 👍

    A one-legged stool is the most practical sort of stool for milking a cow (by hand). In our barn (in the 60s - 80s) we had several one-legged stools of different heights, depending on the size of the person. A one-legged stool is more useful than a three-legged stool when milking because if the cow moves a little bit you just lean the stool a bit. With a three legged stool you have to lift the stool and reposition it if the cow moves. .... I've never used a stool with a belt. It is simple to use just a round piece of 1/2" or 3/4" thick plywood for the seat.

    You might be able to double team this one legged seat/stool together with a set of knee pads, if the leg is proportionate enough (might not work for every ones body configuration) and the leg might actually help you rise up from your knees. The seat for low work and the knee pads for longer reach and shifting heavier items down low (think laying tiles, shifting patio pavers or lower fence work).

    Be careful if you are going to use screws. There’s a lot more shear or tensile forces on a one legged stool than compressive forces. A forged nail would perform better than a screw under tension.
    Better yet… just like u mention, a through tenon with a wedge (and a generous amount of glue) would beat them all.

    I see your stool leg sinking into the wet ground at 4:47
    What if you attach some kind of puck at the bottom of the stool leg, would that prevent it?
    And then slightly round it on one side so you could still sit at a preferred angle in case the ground isn't wet and soft, and the puck wouldn't break off when you lean on the wrong angle.

      Yes, it would work, Pherioxus, 'cause I do just that from time to time, by screwin' a scrap piece of wood to the bottom of the leg. Had footage showin' it, but embarrassingly, forgot to include it in the video! (Don't tell anybody)

    May sink into the ground especially around your tilled or hoed up garden, have you found that to happen? Might need a foot, maybe cut a piece of rubber (old boot sole/heel) nailed on and that might also make it easier landing it too.

    This was great, PaMac! Still, it's a quandry for my body. Thing is, I do need to be near the ground for weeding, but using a stool, even a one-legged bends my knees way too much. I wind up sitting on the ground. I wished I didn't have to, and it's still hard to get up.

  • @liviuursegr
    @liviuursegr 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    just wait till you have to work early in the morning after it rained all night and the soil is moist/wet. either put a wider foot on it or be ready to go 5 in. deep.

    I've seen Oriental farmers strap on stools kind of shaped like a square or a cylinder(no legs) when they go out into their fields or selling in the street markets!(would it be stronger or have any benefit to making the top of the leg wider than the bottom of the leg?)😊❤

    I’ve thought about making one of these with a telescoping leg. Then it has an adjustable height and is compact. I could store it in my car and take it with me on hikes.

    On the peg leg, I wouldnt use any iron in securing it. If drilled in to measure I'd use a split end and a wedge.
    If you wanna have one hell of a trip i suggest you look in to trad japanese jointing. You may or may not thank me later.

    three legged stools are the best. but with the one legged stool, you yourself can become a three legged stool !

  • @aaronrhoades509
    @aaronrhoades509 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I like that stool ! I've seen something similar to that with no belt just a rectangular piece of wood with a dovetail and the bottom leg solid what about a 2 inch foot on each side and a v cut from the center and I don't know what it was called??

      You would lean your forehead on the cow's flank. The cows were loose in a straight stall, eating some food while being milked. They did not fidget. Their heads were not in a head lock. I guess they were just old and used to a routine.

    Charcoal burners use this, because "nodding off" would mean you might burn half the forest down, and more importantly lose out on your income when the charcoal is all cinders
