Great video. I'm a full time fine furniture builder here are few things I noticed ... You should have cut the legs to length first. When you do a wedged tenon the wedge should always be perpendicular to the grain of the wood with the mortise. The diameter of the tenon is great for the seat, but way to big for the leg. You've lost most of the strength of the leg with just a thin bit of the square going past on each side.
The first thing I noticed when he drilled the holes for the stretcher tenons in the legs was it looked like it took away a LOT of strength. 1 1/4 inch square legs. 1 inch holes, leaves 1/8 inch either side of the tenons. I would like a bit more meat in there, personally.... Yes,i bit more meat in my stool.... There's a joke in there somewhere....
Chuck is correct, a 1" hole in a 1 1/4" leg does not leave enough meat, scary. Try 3/4" or smaller tenons on the legs, Next time, to lay out the triangle on the seat for the holes, use a compass. Draw a circle, maybe 8" in diameter, compass set at 4", step off around the circle and you will get six points, skip every other one and there's your triangle.
What’s amazing to me is someone many moons ago was able to make the stool without any fancy tools, but also just as amazing is your creativity and ability to recreate and redesign and make it your own. The mark of a great woodworker. Great job!!!
Innovative way of coving the top. If you had waited to cove the top after the legs were attached you may have been able to cove tenons and top at the same time. Mind you what do I know . I am a lathe guy and would have turned the entire project. This is one of my favs on your channel
Nice stool, it's cool to see how you went about building this. Word of caution to anyone using wedged tenons, I've seen chair seats split due to the wedge running parallel to the grain. It's a safer bet to have your wedges run perpendicular to the grain for less chance of cracking. In most cases it's probably not an issue, but just something to consider.
Beautiful stool Jason! Easily 100 Courics. For those making stools at home, make sure your wedges are perpendicular to the grain so that when you send them home, they won't split your seat or legs. Also Paul Sellers has a great video where he makes a simple 3 legged milking stool. Tons of tips and definitely worth your time
Outstanding work, Jason! However, I would like to point out that you really need to warn people not to do this with their wife's $180 Le Creuset pan. So to the rest of the viewers; if Jason suddenly disappears, he's been viciously beaten to death with said sauté pan, by his wife, and unceremoniously buried in the back yard, lol.
Thinking back to the split in the "lock" stretcher, the smart money imho would have been to glue that back together when gluing up the stretcher assembly. Just my $.02 And the "cove" fits unicheek bottoms perfectly!
That's what I've said out loud: Don't do it now! Don't glue it yet! Wait until you need to glue all pieces of the stretcher. Too bad Jason could not hear me.
This was a great build! Ive gotten pretty tired of watching people build tables so this was such a relief. Such a simple piece of furniture but you managed to add so much detail and created something unique and practical. Well done
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every one of your videos and many of them multiple times but I just saw my new favorite. Entertaining and thought provoking, great job!
Interesting coving method. Very creative. I probably woulda just glued a block on one side and put it on the lathe, but that isn't an option for everyone, so this was a very cool work around. And just a lot of fun to watch and hear the wisdom.
I can't wait to get my shop together in it's new location. Then I'm going to build three. I always enjoy your videos, very entertaining. Love your humor.
As a new woodworker, I was wondering how I would route the round seat or what to use as a jig or guide. As a retired baker your solution made the most sense. Thanks for these videos!
my brain is like this too. so refreshing to see someone who doesn't just know all the things still make the thing! love this! I guess I have to sub now huh? lol
I only saw one other person comment this, but using the lathe would’ve been safer to make that cove cut on the stool top. A+ for the creativity of using the table saw that way though. The stool turned out great! Good job 👏
Wow je trouve ton petit banc génial et comme d'habitude ton talent est au top. Ha ha ha GOT YOU, à little bit of french just enough to make you say ahhh WTF ...😂 ok that said, i love what you make and your humor in doing what you do. Keep at it, this 60yold canadian Veteran from Québec loves watching .
That was an impressive build, you never disappoint, and 100% for inginuity some of the best i have seen. And entertaining as well. I have watched for a long time and definitely will continue. Thanks
Small project are awesome as well, it is not the size that matters in woodworking. It's the fun that matters. You're definitely have fun woodworking! Especially when sanding or painting...
That's a beautiful piece of furniture. I like the simplicity of its appearance, that triangle support, and the maple wedges give it a really nice contrast. First video of yours I've watched, and I look forward to watching more. Thanks bro, gave me some inspiration to finish some projects I've been working on.
Love the videos. I’ve been looking into Windsor chair builds recently. The wedges you put in should be perpendicular to the grain, when placed parallel they put pressure to split the wood. No bueno. I enjoyed your take on how to attack the process of building these stools.
This is beyond funny, I literally just went through the same exact process of making an equilateral triangle and then cutting off the ends with a miter saw! It felt sketchy when I did it but I am so relieved to see you did it the exact same way (although it took me SO much longer to figure out how to make it)
Great work! You should consider chamfering the bottom of the legs. I made a stool last year and forgot to do this and the legs started to chip out over time.
Great job Jason. Loved that you used the pan for your circle jig. I was thinkin, maybe just use the circle seat top from the other stool. But hey, your idea worked great.
I once made a stool quite similar to this, and I remember that it was tricky to assemble, but the result was very satisfactory, as is yours! Next time I suggest to make sure your wedges are perpendicular to the grain in the mortise piece!
I see on your schedule you have ordering wood. I'd love to see a video about ordering wood online because no lumber yard near me has black walnut and I'd love to get a large batch.
Nice job! I would have opted for fixing up the antique stool but then I wouldn't have the fun and frustration of figuring out how to build one. I like your half lapped stretchers but I would have put square tenons on them and the legs. I was introduced to your pencil sharpener gizmo over 30 years ago in John Alexanders book "Make a Chair From a Tree" . He called it a Hollow Auger and as a newby woodworker I wondered where in the world I could get such a thing. So I did it all by hand. After all these years I still don't have a fraction of the tools you got hanging there so I'm still doing it mostly by hand. I started checking out your other videos and subscribed. That's all I need is another thing to distract me from what I ought to be doing.
Missed an opportunity to make the seat out of not two, but THREE pie-shaped wedge pieces that still has the same, round outline. Carry that off with bookmatching all three joints and you're a legend.
These are the builds I love! Although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the travel trailer especially the kitchen cabinets and countertop but anyways these builds are my absolute favorite! Love complex angles and especially joinery! Besides you have to prove to your wife she doesn’t need to buy some other deceased carpenter’s stool ;) love it!
That looks really good. I might remind you that people were shorter when that antique stool was made. I might have made the new on a little taller. But that might just be me. If I decide to make something like this, I'll be looking for your plans.
That was really cool to see come to life. Also it made me think that a collaboration between your channel and Encurtis' channel would be pretty friggin' sweet for a furniture project like this as he specializes in more traditional joinery kind of stuff. I think it would be pretty cool to see y'alls different approaches come together to make something!
Great video! I showed my wife your unique circle template. Her response was No Damn way you are using my cookware for that. So I wandered out to the workshop for some therapy and when I returned found the kitchen cupboards locked up.
Love it! The only thing I’d do differently would be to cut off the excess on the equilateral triangle brace piece. I can imagine my calf swinging back and those getting annoying.
I am by no means an expert on woodworking and greatly admire your work and the way you make videos fun and interesting;, Just one question; Did you consider making the seat with rounded off edge like the original design?
Have to say was sceptical until about half way through, especially with the shoulders of those tenons not being trimmed to match the leg/seat angles, but the whole thing just got better and better. Looks awesome, and makes me a bit more confident about being useless with hand tools as well :)
A quick thought, before you cut the slot for the wedge in the tenon, drill through the tenon and cut to the hole instead of widening it with the bandsaw. I've had boards split on me doing that the way you did it.
When you wedge a through tenon, make sure you are wedging in such a way, that the spreading force pushes into the endgrain rather than long grain, as the wedge might split the leg in this case.

Is your website down? Looking to buy merch and plans for my hubbies birthday. Thanks
I'll wait for your next video
That rockler circle jig on the wall is sadly watching him make a circle with a frying pan.
The saute pan is sadly watching everyone call it a frying pan.
sitting in the background and looking expensive is the primary use for most rockler and festo tools.
Was waiting for the wife to come smack ya in the skull with a matching pan lol
@@anewman513 😂 Very glad to learn I wasn't the only one wincing at that.
Still, a great idea for others who don't have a workshop like this. 😬
Great video. I'm a full time fine furniture builder here are few things I noticed ...

Shall we not mention the lack of flush shoulders?
I noticed that, I dont even do woodworking, those legs will snap off at the gaping holes in them.
What's a shoulder in this case? @@Dickie2702
10 points for creativity and 10 more points for the entertainment. Just awesome.
Never thought I'd enjoy watching you make a big brown stool but here we are. Stool joke!
What’s amazing to me is someone many moons ago was able to make the stool without any fancy tools, but also just as amazing is your creativity and ability to recreate and redesign and make it your own. The mark of a great woodworker. Great job!!!
A deceptively simple little project that is actually fairly complicated. Really fun to watch.
I don't think "made easy" in the title really fits.

Agreed. Keep an eye on those legs.
I made a similar comment but there was no response. There was reason and knowledge in the traditional ways.
Always good to have a solid stool. Way better than the loose stools.
Nah, loose stool is easier to get rid of. Harder to clean up, though. 😜
Stool joke!
😂
But not TOO solid...ouch!
Great video Jason…. Please do more of these experiments as they are entertaining and inspiring!
Beautiful stool Jason! Easily 100 Courics.

Was coming down here to say the same thing. Jason got away with it!
Outstanding work, Jason! However, I would like to point out that you really need to warn people not to do this with their wife's $180 Le Creuset pan. So to the rest of the viewers; if Jason suddenly disappears, he's been viciously beaten to death with said sauté pan, by his wife, and unceremoniously buried in the back yard, lol.
Always interesting, and I adore the "I have no idea what I'm doing" videos. Thank you!
Thinking back to the split in the "lock" stretcher, the smart money imho would have been to glue that back together when gluing up the stretcher assembly. Just my $.02
And the "cove" fits unicheek bottoms perfectly!
That's what I've said out loud: Don't do it now! Don't glue it yet! Wait until you need to glue all pieces of the stretcher. Too bad Jason could not hear me.
I said NOOOOO out loud while watching that part.
I got frying pan and a piece of wood. I am 80% ready to make it. 😂
He makes it look so damn easy and we all know it's anything but.
This was a great build! Ive gotten pretty tired of watching people build tables so this was such a relief. Such a simple piece of furniture but you managed to add so much detail and created something unique and practical. Well done
This was more of an adventure than a woodworking project. Enjoyed this so much!
Epic. It's always intriguing to watch the solutions you develop for complex angles/dimensions/etc. Thanks for another info-taining video.
Great video! Showing how you designed and built it based on the old piece, and as always, with great humor. Thank you for sharing.
That stool turned out absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on your great work.
Such a fun build. Glad the algorithm brought your channel to my feed.
I’m pretty sure I’ve seen every one of your videos and many of them multiple times but I just saw my new favorite. Entertaining and thought provoking, great job!

I always enjoy your videos, very entertaining. Love your humor.
I laughed a lot, but not because it's dumb. It's the best thing I've seen in a long time. Very well done.
Honestly, I didn't think I would like this video. I'm not into wooden stools. You have made a believe out of me. That is a gorgeous piece of work.
As a new woodworker, I was wondering how I would route the round seat or what to use as a jig or guide. As a retired baker your solution made the most sense. Thanks for these videos!
I did. Absolutely amazing. Redesigning my garage when I saw this. I know my next major project.
Nice to see you making things back in the shop. Turned out fantastic. Well done.
I freaking love this! This was probably the funnest video of yours I've seen in a while. The creativity and making shit up is awesome. 🎉
Another stool joke!
Using the pan was genius. I would have just used a 5" piece of string. Thanks for the lessons.
Brilliant! The most fun in watching your videos is the problem solving. Thanks!
my brain is like this too. so refreshing to see someone who doesn't just know all the things still make the thing! love this! I guess I have to sub now huh? lol

I very rarely make comments but this one was simply amazing.... as is all of your projects.
Ok I loved the creativity displayed on how to make the seat concave. ❤
You’re right. I did laugh when you used a pan as a router template. But I laughed because it was brilliantly funny. This stool is beautiful.
That is really neat! Your abilities never cease to amaze me.
Really cool build. One of my favorites you’ve done.
This video encompasses what it is to be a very good woodworker. Nice project Dude.
Small project are awesome as well, it is not the size that matters in woodworking. It's the fun that matters. You're definitely have fun woodworking! Especially when sanding or painting...

Love the videos. I’ve been looking into Windsor chair builds recently. The wedges you put in should be perpendicular to the grain, when placed parallel they put pressure to split the wood. No bueno. I enjoyed your take on how to attack the process of building these stools.
This is actually a beautiful piece. Well done!
I teach a Fabrication class in the Portland area and we build a stool from a single 2x4 as a final. Love this as an alternative/similar project!
That was a freaking awesome build!! Thanks for sharing! I think I might get the plans
I didn’t know I wanted a BMWW version of the New Yankee Workshop, but now I do.
Also I’m going to watch some of Norm’s old videos.
This is beyond funny, I literally just went through the same exact process of making an equilateral triangle and then cutting off the ends with a miter saw! It felt sketchy when I did it but I am so relieved to see you did it the exact same way (although it took me SO much longer to figure out how to make it)
Great work! You should consider chamfering the bottom of the legs. I made a stool last year and forgot to do this and the legs started to chip out over time.
I just love how you do "woodworking" Keep it real pal. "It should work" love it. My method for years !
Great job Jason. Loved that you used the pan for your circle jig. I was thinkin, maybe just use the circle seat top from the other stool. But hey, your idea worked great.
Probably one of my favorite builds you have done.

That cove cut was WILD! Who needs a lathe!? 🤣

Outstanding, Love it. Gonna Try it, Wish me luck!!!!
Love your tenons with the finish!
Funny! I was just making a similar thing today and now this pops up. 😄
Nice. Clever too: how the circular-tapered-end-M&T rails means three less specfiic measurements to nail perfectly!
Missed an opportunity to make the seat out of not two, but THREE pie-shaped wedge pieces that still has the same, round outline. Carry that off with bookmatching all three joints and you're a legend.
These are the builds I love! Although I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the travel trailer especially the kitchen cabinets and countertop but anyways these builds are my absolute favorite! Love complex angles and especially joinery! Besides you have to prove to your wife she doesn’t need to buy some other deceased carpenter’s stool ;) love it!
Great vid. And love the stool! I would have wedged the leg tenons at 90 degrees to the grain to avoid splitting. 😀
This was a great video. Fun to watch.
interesting technique with the table saw. I've never seen that before. Very nice
That's actually a rather well-known truck but it's the first time I see it used to make a "dimple" instead of a "trench".
My favorite joint is my half lap dovetail it kinda meses with your head when you look at it 👍
Problem solving is always a great learning experience.
After hearing you describe how much you enjoy putting finish on walnut, I had to pull up the old LegoMan massage clip. Years of laughs from that one!
Bravo! You are truly a wise man!
Megaprojekt Super Stuhl vielen lieben Dank für das tolle Video
That looks really good. I might remind you that people were shorter when that antique stool was made. I might have made the new on a little taller. But that might just be me.

Great video! I showed my wife your unique circle template. Her response was No Damn way you are using my cookware for that. So I wandered out to the workshop for some therapy and when I returned found the kitchen cupboards locked up.
was watching you heft the saucepan...."please let him stick it to that and use it as a template!" ....YES
Very nice work, now get busy making a set for the family 😅😅
Love it! The only thing I’d do differently would be to cut off the excess on the equilateral triangle brace piece. I can imagine my calf swinging back and those getting annoying.
Looks like a real challenge, nice job.
I like how the stretchers form an A. Perhaps try another with a B. In fact, do the alphabet! Great video.
Itsreat to see more real joinery on your projects, I've always liked your designs but hope that's a new trend you keep up with
I am by no means an expert on woodworking and greatly admire your work and the way you make videos fun and interesting;, Just one question; Did you consider making the seat with rounded off edge like the original design?
I was nervous for a minute but I’m impressed
What a great video Jason it turned out amazing great job
Great looking piece.
nicest walnut stool I have ever seen! 🎉
Very nice. I think I'd have also squared off the base of the tenons. And rounded over the edge of the seat.
Your videos are fun to watch! thank you
i love the voice over and the stool.
Have to say was sceptical until about half way through, especially with the shoulders of those tenons not being trimmed to match the leg/seat angles, but the whole thing just got better and better. Looks awesome, and makes me a bit more confident about being useless with hand tools as well :)

Geweldig gedaan. De kruk is prachtig.Groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼🇳🇱
Router templating with a frying pan. really LOL'ed there :)
Keep them coming! :)
This is a gorgeous build!
Best video yet! Quintessential Jason! You rock but your stool doesn't . . .WTG
Amazing piece ! Love it and the sharpener …..boys and their toys. Lol
When you wedge a through tenon, make sure you are wedging in such a way, that the spreading force pushes into the endgrain rather than long grain, as the wedge might split the leg in this case.
