I made these shop stools so that I can have a comfortable place to sit when making dovetails and joinery work at the work bench. Both staked stools are made from one $18 2x12 construction grade board. You can make fine woodworking projects from home center southern yellow pine! If that lumber is not available in your area, Douglass Fir would work well also. These stools are a good weekend woodworking project. This project is a good start in to chairmaking and will be a great addition to any woodshop!
Here is the hide glue I used for this project (affiliate)

To many people over look syp and construction grade syp in woodworking, and try to make it look like something it's not. when it can be made into beautiful furniture and woodworking projects. I use it to make reproduction Chippendale, Shaker and primitive antique furniture. I've also used it to make many sets of kitchen cabinets going into multi million dollar vacation homes in my area. I keep about 500 brd feet of 4/4 s4s in stock and about 250 brd feet of the thicker stocks. I use only shellac to color the pine, mostly amber shellac. I use milk paints and regular paint depending on what the client ask for with color. I do 90% hand tools in my shop and have for over 50 years. Thanks for your efforts in producing 1st class videos. This video should inspire amateur woodworkers to go get some construction grade syp and get busy having fun in their shops at an affordable price. Thank you.
@@iamwhoiam4410 I agree syp is a great wood for all kinds of projects including fine furniture! I always have some on hand and when I go to the home center, I dig through and buy a couple straight clear boards when I find them for projects like this. Thanks so much for the support!
I just built a gift box for some friends from wall studs we removed when putting in some french doors. Its perfectly good wood as long as you pay attention to grain patterns and knot size. I hear you about using a finish that turns the wood into 1960's yellow. I used some tinted shellac and avoided that problem.
Great project and well executed.
@@vanislescotty I’ve heard a few people mentioned shellac. I have to give it a try. Thanks!
Look really good. Made a set of 4 out of 2x stock, but made the seat as a rectangle-scooped out and beveled on the sides. Came out well, looked good, and stained well. Very comfortable stools.
@@davidbaulch3223 thanks! I should have made one rectangle and definitely want to do more shaping the seat bottom on the next one. Thanks for watching!
Great project, as always. Watching your videos always inspires me to use hand tools more frequently in my workflow.
@@sisyphushappyxvx Thanks! If there’s no schedule in a project, I try to use them as much as I can.
Great project as always! That big pencil sharpener is awesome 😄
@@EthanBuilds thanks! I think they are fairly easy to make from a block of wood and a plane blade. I learned after buying the veritas version.
Very nice project. I like that you used syp. I often use it because I get so much wood for the price and I can pick the grain pattern. Look forward to watching more videos like this one. Thank you for sharing.
@@nickmastro9287 Thanks! SYP might be the last affordable item in woodworking/furniture making
Nice work, thank you for sharing
@@scottsuridge5349 Thanks for watching!
Nice work!
@@branagancustom Thanks!
Nice job.
@@KevinToye Thanks!
Just made me some , Nice job ans explain
@@martingagne3136 Awesome. They are a fun project! Thanks for watching!
Dang, man. Those came out great. I think Chris Schwarz would be proud. Nice job figuring out how to hold their awkward shape when planing the seats.
@@ChristopherRNeumann Thanks! It was a little tricky getting that stool to be secure. That era of old popular woodworking, woodwright shop about 15 years ago had a huge impact on me when I was getting in to hand tool work. There was plenty of people that taught me how to machines but hand tools skills came from watching and reading around that time.
Great project. I need to give it a try
@@AncientCityCraftworks yeah! I’ll watch. Your doing great work on your channel!
@@TwistedWorkshop77 that means a lot. Thank you.
Fantastic work, dude! Really well done! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
@@MCsCreations Thanks so much!
Great job! But a three-legged stool would be more practical for your workshop.
@@VORONM Thanks! I will be making some 3 legged stools soon and doing a comparison. My original plan was to make one with 4 legs and one with three but ended up with enough lumber to make them both the same. My shop floors are pretty level and flat so I haven’t seen many issues in the last couple weeks of use. Was there another reason you like 3 legged stools better? besides 3 points make a plane and the stool won’t wobble?
