Make a round stool 16” tall using handtools and the bandsaw. The legs are either octagon or round, but both are made using hand planes and spokeshaves. This is referred to as Welsh Stick construction and is a good introduction to making the Welsh Chair. They have 3-stretchers and range from 10” to 16” in height, low enough to sit or work so your hands are touching the ground.
MATERIALS: 2x6 hardwoods (red alder, cherry, ash, western maple, or similar woods)
TOOLS: woodturning lathe, hand tools, handplane, chisels, saws, spokeshave, traivsher, scorp, and the power bandsaw are used.
ACTIVITIES: Safe sequence of steps to take hardwood lumber and build a small 3 or 4 legged stool.
LEVEL: Beyond Basics
PREREQUISITES: None (but will be easier if a handtool class was previously taken)
DURATION: 14 hours (4 sessions)
