workbenchstool, first picture post

[jorgoz]

Here's my first try at posting my work with my recently acquired secondhand digital camera.

It's made with yellow pine and the seat slats are butt joined to the stretcher. Classic mortise and tenon joinery and hand shaped seat slats.

Very nice, lovely design and looks as though it should be quite comfortable

Nice work. It does look comfortable.

nice looking stool. It's suprising how comfortable a wooden seat can be.

good work

Thx guys for the positive remarks. It's quite comfy, but i need to get the proportions right, the footrest is a tad to low, but that's part of making furniture without models or proper plans.

Dave, how do you post pictures directly into the thread ?

Very nice lines, I like it! How are the seat slats joined to the stretcher?

 

[jorgoz]

Seat slats are glued to the stretcher, no dowels or anything, just a simple butt joint. Hope this exmplains it correctly.

This is a personal view, but for me the legs look too skinny in relation to the thickness and mass of the top pieces. If the legs and rails were made a bit more chunkable then I think the whole thing would look more balanced - Rob

I agree with the stretchers being too thin. The legs i'm not quite sure.

I think that's a very handsome stool. Legs are just right but I agree you might make the stretchers deeper especially if intended as a foot rest.

Hard to see from the photo but it looks like the seat slats are cut off square at the ends. Might it look nicer to cut them to follow the curve implied by the varying lengths of slat?
