Industrial Stool Build - How to

- How to build an industrial rustic stool. My wife wanted a industrial piano style stool for our computer area and here's how I built it. The top is laminated pine scraps and the base is made with steel pipe, threaded rod and some steel plate. The welds aren't perfect as I'm still learning this craft, but overall I'm happy with the way it came out and hopefully it might give you some inspiration for a similar project of your own:) Let me know if you have any questions!

Here is a link to my watch that so many ask about too. I switched out the original light leather band for a nylon one for most projects. Leather and nylon replacements can be found for 5-7 bucks.

Hello! My grandfather has build similar stool at the Soviet Union era I keeping this at our family farm still now. Thank you for your video I'm exiting? When I go back from Guangzhou I will do restoration of stool.
Cool stool. Reminds me of the stool I sat on when I was working for an architect in an office that had no a/c. After I was done, I asked if I could buy the stool from him, but he said no. My former boss moved back to Jamaica a month later, taking all office furniture with him.
Awesome! Your wife is a blessed woman, and so is your sweet little princess! 👪💞
Thanks for watching the build everyone! If you have any constructive comments or questions... please post them below:) But if you are wanting to talk/argue about an unrelated subject with another person... there are lots of other places to do so. I've recently seen subjects pop up where commenters are arguing with one another on issues with no relation to the video subject. Please be cordial and remember that sometimes it's better to walk away and just 'agree to disagree'.
Thanks:)

Your wife must be proud of you. Very nice stool.
Best regards from Norway Trond Martinsen
What an artisan, full talented..loved it all..
The dipping of the legs in paint 👍 mind blown. Nice build
thanks Mark... I saw someone use that technique years ago and I just thought... wow, super simple and effective:)
joe
Dip legs in paint… genius!! 🙏🏼😃
I love that artistry
Awesome job, Joe! Looks like that thing held up to some pretty serious performance testing too!
Thanks Braxton! It was fun and yes, it was even more stable than I figured it would be!
Amazing video
It turned out beautiful!
This absolutely beautiful!!
Молодец !!! Очень простой и удобный стул. Мне нравятся Ваши DIY.
That "performance" testing looked like a lot of fun, haha. This is such a good example of why every wood worker should get into welding. Great project as always
Thanks Robin! Yes, it was for sure! ... and yes, since I've gotten into welding it has opened my eyes to a whole other realm of possibilities!
Looks. like a fun build. Loved it.
Awesome build, man! I am definitely subscribing!
Great build and video! Cheers Joe!
I love your videos. You are very talented. Sweet pipe posing at the end. Cheers!
Great job! It is a really nice stool!
I love the leveling trick with the paint!
thanks Gregory! Yes, the paint is just like using a scribe tool... except works well on curved surfaces where as the scribe doesn't:)
Top job my friend, thats really good. Love the place you live at it looks fantastic...
parabéns... ficou ótimo
Lovely piece.
Joe, what a fantastic looking project and as has already been said here, happy wife = happy life. Your daughter is shooting up and her "user testing" was delightful. Take care and all the best from the UK.
Thanks Tony! She actually came out and saw it for the first time and said.."oooh, that's pretty..." and that was good for me!
and yes, happy wife does equal a happy life:)
... been thinking about you right now... been raining for the last two days with wind of 30-50mph gusts during the whole time. The rain was welcome but the wind... I could do without...lol
Looks like a great stool. Good job!
Thanks Bruce! It's far better than the ladder I had... and hopefully will be something my grandkids will be using:)
Thats turned out awesome! good to see you Joe been missing the vids. God Bless
Thanks CM! God Bless you too:)
funky stool, saved yourself some serious cash, and earned some serious brownie points with the wife, a good days work.
Thanks Mackey! So much better than the step ladder we had and the wife agrees on the brownie points :)
It's really beautiful
Excellent job on the stool Joe... It looks great ! Thanks for sharing. 126
Thanks Marc!
Awesome job.
major props on showing how the seat was made. awesome job, I will probably make a few of them as well
Thanks Ju!
Joe
using the bowl of paint to mark the legs was an awesome idea! definitely a tip I can use for my projects
Thanks Mike!
joe
Gracias por el aporte, realmente épico.
Outstanding! Your testing methodology was superb.
hahaha! it was fun! thanks Voneschenbach!
Joe
Great project! love how it turned out
Thanks HB! I'm literally sitting on it as I type right now:)
joe
I like this configuration. Well done.
Thanks!
JOe
Love this! I need to build some stools, maybe I'll try welding some up!
Thanks so much Paul! You definitely should:)
Joe
Cool project, it came out great!
Thanks Dimitri!
NICE! Very impressed with your welding skills! And by impressed, I mean jealous! Looks great!
Thanks so much Kerby! ...but just remember that I only show the 'good' welds and keep the other ones out of the frame...lol:) But I am getting better and this welder has been awesome to use:)
Looks cool, nicely made! Thumbs up.
Thanks so much Sebastion:)
Great job
Very nice and neat too! Just an idea, maybe adding rubber for the stool's feet will prevent hurting someone and the floor :) . Love this very inspiring.
nice work!
Great stool, nice job :-)
Happy wife, happy life. Great job!
Thanks KC! Yes, that is definitely true :)
Love your work
Thanks Abraham!
Cool build
I like your channel you make great projects.
thanks Cami!
Cool design...well made!
Thanks so much Bill!
Sweet build mate. Im trying my skills on metal furniture and this looks very industrial. Looks great and will give it a shot!
thanks Ryan!
That thing turned out awesome man! I bet the wife is happy!
Thanks Russell! She liked it more than I thought she would... and that's always a good thing:)
Joe
Nice job,I have some old roller stands i might convert to stools like this!
nice job on the stools.
Nice work Joe!
Thanks Morgan!
Nice work 👍
Oh neat, that turned out really nice.
thanks anita!
Excellent
This is amazing, you are very talented. I wish I lived in ur area I would not mind a stool for my study area. Thank again for a great video.
Thanks so much Fadsad! If you ever find yourself out here you can give this one a test spin :) thanks for watching and the kind words! :)
Joe
I had been missing your videos, so I set the alarm to the right of subscribe to remind me when you have a new one.
Great job man, greetings from Slovenia :-)
Thanks so much Aleksander! Great to here from Slovenia:)
Joe
you are very talented! everything you touch turns to gold!
ah, thanks Jacalli... but I just show the best looking angles ;)
homesteadonomics you do a great job of it all the angles look great.
Excellent! I enjoy your projects and style.
One problem . . . I bet you will end up having to build a matching industrial style computer desk to match that awesome stool.
Thanks Doc! ....uh oh... you're gonna give my wife ideas...;)
Nice build. You've really gotten good at welding in a short time. Your channel has also quickly made it into my top 5 favorite channels!! I see 100k subscribers soon.
Thanks so much Wayne! I appreciate the good words.. but I don't see getting to 100k for at least another year or two. I don't do any promotion of videos, and am generally very weak with other social media.. these are just my little hobby projects:) I've seen some other diy channels this last year go from like 10k to 150k in like 6months.... which is awesome for them but I don't really understand the finer details of growing a channel. I just make the best videos I can at the time and just hope folks like them :D
I very much appreciate the kind words sir and I hope to keep improving:)
Joe
5 months later, and you are very close to 100k! I just found and subbed today. Keep up the excellent work.
That's awesome.
Thanks DA!
Very good
Great looking stool man. I always leave a bolt or some threaded rod in the nut when I weld them... It usually keeps the threads in tact... You have to cover the exposed threads with tape so spatter doesn't make them "permanent" :D
thanks Greg! Yes, that was something I just wasn't sure about. I tacked it with the rod in place but then I got scarred that the spatter might start attaching to the rod threads so I took it out...lol... in the back of my mind I was kind of assuming my father in law might have to bail me out... and he did;) thanks for checking it out
Muito bom show.
Really cool!
Stepladder is a great idea too! :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
Thanks so much Luan!
Joe
Looks great. Nice engineering getting all those parts to work together.
Thanks so much DM! Yes it was nice when I got it all tacked together and it was still level...lol... i was concerned I might get it done and have it out of level:)
homesteadonomics
Yeah, I have a fear of failure when I do certain projects. As long as we learn from any mistakes it is still worthwhile in my book, because the knowledge gained will serve you well in the future. I have probably learned more from my failures than my successes. Like lately making adobe bricks right before it rains...
Looking forward to the next project!
haha.. yes, for sure! ... and speaking of adobe, that's a project that I've wanted to tackle at some point. You have a mix you like? are you adding cement for more durability?
Great looking stool! Nice job and especially liked the "safety testing" Ha ha ha ha! (I will miss seeing the "well worn" ladder stool) LOL It looks like the adults may have to barter for a turn on the stool! :) Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Also the "pipe" pix was very cool! :)
haha... you should get one;)
I'm thinking a late christmas gift ? well made sir :) thanks for sharing
hehehe.... yes, she did ask for it before Christmas ;)
I like the performance test. Cheers =)
Thanks Drunkinone! It was definitely the most fun part... but you didn't get to see when I almost knocked the camera down and fell off the stool trying to save it... wasn't recording otherwise I would have put it in...lol:)
Great build Joe, Must say that your welding is really good. Hope 2017 will be a great year for you and your family.
Thanks Charl! The new welder has made a difference for sure:) Of course I only show the half way decent welds on the video...lol:)
... I hope your 2017 is a great one too... if you find your work taking you back to texas you should reroute through Tucson and say hi:) haha.. I know that would be WAY out of your way but it would be cool to meet you in person:)
Very Nice!
thansk chicken woof ranch!
Joe
RealNICE!
Great Video.
thanks Sam!
Joe
Me gusta tu trabajo y me caes bien, saludos desde ahome Sinaloa mexico
Hey Joe, great job.
I like these magnetic angle parts which you use there.
I had in my video in which I installed the curtain rod a similar problem. I solved the problem by let the thread in the nut. So could be prevented deformations ... I have welded the nut through slots which I cut previously in the tube. It is difficult to weld near the thread.....
Finaly hope that Google translater did his job here.... ;-)
have a nice weekend!
Hi Chris,
Sorry for the super slow reply:) Yes, those magnets are super cool and useful. I'm gonna have to go check out that video now:) talk to you later Chris!
Joe
I have watched this one before. This is a really cool stool and you do a very good job on it. I enjoy your videos and the lifestyle you seem to have. Please keep letting us in on the rainwater harvesting... I had considered that a non workablle, but actually the only thing that looks scary is putting that untreated water into my wife and me. Do you treat at all, a little bleach oro just drink as is. Doo you have it tested? Do you have any mosquito breeding in the cistern problems?
Hey Joe,
You ain't whistling Dixie. So my whistle guess is Darude, Sandstorm. Joe, do you have any worries about the legs scratching the floor? Simple fix is to glue on some felt to the washers. A cooler solution would be to make little wooden "shoes" for the legs to protect the floor. Cheers,
Bill
PS got a green house video coming soon? What's growing on?
haha.... darude sandstorm!!!! I think I last listened to that in a vegas trip when I was still in school....lol... the whistling was actually from the disney movie moana.... of course it's double speed;)
I actually got some felt for the legs so probably not wooden feet.. but a cool idea!
And a greenhouse update will be coming soon-ish. I actually haven't started seeds yet and was planning on doing it in the green house and maybe doing an off the cuff video for it:)
Nice. And thanx for the flash burns.... ; )
Exelente 🙂👍
Muy buen trabajo. Saludos desde Barcelona Catalonia. Pd.tu hija es preciosa,Felicidades./
Hi Joe! how did you learn how to weld? I'd love to learn because I'm looking to make my own offset smoker. Perhaps some inspiration for a future video :D
Nice
What a beautiful piano chair, a got one made in walnut tree
Thanks so much Carsten! I bet that walnut one looks great!
I enjoy your channel. How does the Forney compare to other welding machines you've used? What part of AZ are you in?
Sweet stool, nice work! Did you cover the feet with anything? If you are looking for an idea, Lowes sells 1/4" thick felt stick on pads that work great. I have used them in the past for some furniture items of mine.
Nice stool. How do you like the Forney MP welder. I'm considering purchasing one from a local store.
Hi mr., I am from Indonesia, I like waching you
Are you posting new videos after your hail storm. I love your independent spirit.
Прикольно получилось.
Nice work.... 👌 keep it up and happy new year 2017 I hope u make most amazing stuff this year
Thanks so much Sandyman:)
Excellent job Joe! Maybe you should have matched the stain to the desk tho. 👍
haha... yes, I was going for it and it was about half the darkness... but I left as is because my wife liked the way it came out anyways:)
Joe
That's all that matters!
Genial
Wow, great work.. are you a welder by trade? You seem like you know what you're doing.
Turned out great! Love that its height is adjustable. What type of mask is that? Looks comfortable without the plastic straps.
Thanks RB! the mask is an RZ mask... they are comfortable and fit underneath my welding mask too... I've had a bad habit of not using a mask for years but ever since I got these I've been more apt to use them as the straps are simple and quick. here is a link to them on amazon amzn.to/2j4sae0
ps... I get a commission from these links but get them where ever you find them cheapest :)
great build! How did you cut the angles on the steel pipe?
Another great project Joe. Your princess appreciates your work a lot in addition to your sweetheart. Was that a glint of gray in the back of the head shot? Nah, must have been the light reflecting just right to make the optical illusion. What date do you usually use to plant your tomato and other plants in sunny SoAZ? Just giving you a chance to rub it in a bit.
hahaha... the balding is in the back but most of the gray hairs are on the sides of the head...lol
... and don't worry I can't rub it in regarding the seed starting... last year I started them on jan 1, and this year I haven't started them yet...eeeek... my wife and I will probably do so in the next few days:)
