[devonwoody]

Needed a footstool to desist crossing of legs whilst at the computer so got permission this morning from SWMBO for an hour in the workshop.


offcut of 6x2 resawn to 6x1ish on bandsaw.
Cleaned up with planer and smoothing plane.
dadoes cut on triton saw.


Next step get some more permission and complete.

And thank you Adam for the beewax it's already been put to use.

Had to revise the design of the footstool owing to a kickback on the veneered piece of chipboard when cleaning out dadoes. I had a kickback luckily the rear door was open and the piece sailed out into the garden. My heart never missed a beat

A= 12" b= 6 1/2" c= 16mm d=5 1/2" e=4 1/4" f= 8 5/8"

Pleased to report it is very comfortable for use at the computer and stopping the legs from being crossed.

Nice stool, DW.

Do take it easy. I know for myself that when I've been laid out for some reason I tend to get to thinking, "Gee, I feel pretty good. Guess I'll go do..." and before long I realize that, "Gee, I think I've over done it." Boredom starts taking its toll as well.

Take care, MikeW

Nice to learn someone has taken up the idea of the footstool, I bet when Philly sees this thread we will get a Cuban Mahogany job placed on show

Posting two other pictures to show the potential use for this stool.

The cushion tray rests on the lap and the mouse works of the tray.

Take it easy
I had my first visit yesterday to whats called rehabilitation, I reckon I had a work out over 45 minutes that would tax an olympic trainer. Pulse at start nicely relaxed 72, at the end of 45 mins. 105.
Workshop is a doddle after that!
