Join us for out end of summer, project course! Make a 16” tall round stool using handtools and a 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
