- How I made a Twisted Stool / End table from a solid piece of ash. Firstly I would like to thank GRAFF for sending me some of their speed cutters to try. Please SUBSCRIBE and hit the bell icon to be informed when I upload a new video. The blade fits into an angle grinder and while I used it mainly for shaping and grinding it can also be used for engraving, grooving, straight and cross-cutting any type of wood. Check out their web page here: speedcuttergraf... or like and follow them on Facebook here: / speedcuttergraff
There were quite a few cracks in the wood after cutting and shaping which I dont mind but I tried to have a go filling them with a colored epoxy. This was my first time doing this and I ran into a few problems. I didn't realise at the time but the epoxy I used first (seen in the video) takes 3 days to cure! This created two problems . 1, It kept soaking into the wood and I had to keep refilling it. 2, because of the shape of the piece I could only do one side at a time and having to wait 3 days for each it would have taken a long time to do it all so I decided to try some 5 minute epoxy. It worked OK but you will not get all the air bubbles out of the epoxy. If doing it again I would maybe try and get 90 min epoxy which give you more time to play with it and a better chance of removing the bubbles by passing some heat over it. Also I think I would try a different colour and maybe some luminous pigments.
After sanding I finished it with 3 coats of a water based satin varnish and it didn't have any problems adhering to the epoxy.
Thanks for watching!!

I had a twisted stool too. Bran muffins cured the problem.
That is a beautiful piece of furniture that will last for a long long time,and there is nothing to beat wood on this planet,your project gets my thumbs up
Hi Colin, thank you very much!
I liked the Chipmunk chainsaw sounds.
Me too. Could could not stop laughing XD
Its like being at the dentist
Good to know it wasn't just me... Lol
Man that is a work of art
Thank you very much.
Free-hand chainsaw and grinder, meanwhile I struggle cutting on the lines with scissors...
Very impressive!
Thank you Kyle.
Awesome finished product Eamonn. Such cool grain in that piece, the shape really enhances it. Nice one
Thanks a lot marcomolo!!! You going to give it a try.
I have a 30” diameter walnut log I have been saving. This looks like the perfect project. But boy is it heavy.
Gorgeous looking twisted tool. It is a piece of ART.
Cool!!!
Around the 0:35 mark, I thought I heard Mariah Carey singing
LoL
LMAO nice
I really like that it's really cool and the epoxy looks really good.
Cheers

Thanks a lot Tim.
A sped up chainsaw is quite the interesting noise.
Didn't know they made wood blades for an angle grinder, I'll have to try one out.
i have a chainsaw disk for my grinder i picked up from lee valley. its as cool as it sounds
VERY impressive . great hand -eye co-ordination.Clever layout.
Thank you Polarbear!
Just followed your guide after watching this video a couple of days ago. Boy I need to get a small sander as my arm is killing me. Looks great though.
Great! I would love to see a pic when you are done. my email is eamonwalshdiy@yahoo.com Yes a small sander would help a lot but at least you got a work out! 😃
Haha, certainly did. Have sent you an email.
Супер! Очень здорово!
Большое спасибо!
That looks awesome. Nice job!
Thank you Tamar!
My stools generally come out twisted if I push hard enough
Awsome piece.
what did you coat it with?
Thank you ŽELEZNINA, Its finished with a water based satin varnish.
A beaut. Nice curvature. Thanks for posting
That is awesome great end product. I have a block of spalted maple i have been trying to figure out what I want to do with it, if you don’t mind I think i will make one of these for my living room.
Thank you! Spalted maple would look so good, I would love to see a pic when you are done.
Красиво,спору нет,не зря снял видео,достойна эта работа не только лайка
Спасибо
All i would have to do is try to make it square.
That is a very cool piece. Extremely good job young man
Thank you very much Harold.
Nice twist! It does deserve the center of the showroom...
👏👏👏 Fro Brazil 🇧🇷
Thank you Ari!
I have a beautiful slice of tabletop made by my father and I 40 years ago from our visit to the California Redwoods. We had a base for it until I moved to the UK for 6 months (30 yrs ago) - kept the top but too expensive to ship the tree trunk base. Ever since I have been looking for a suitable base and having found something similar to your table that design will work perfectly. Sadly the example I found was too high as the top is quite thick and cutting the top and bottom shorter would not work. Anyway, I can cut them to the height I need ! YAY THANK YOU 🥰🥰🥰
Hi Lavinia, thank you very much for watching. I would love to see a picture when you get it done.
I wish you'd have muted the sped-up clips of tools working. Sounds like a dentist appointment...
Brilliant 👍
i have never seen that kind of blade before. wow
You HAVEN'T?? Jeeeez...
the sound of a chainsaw sped up is on my list of most annoying sounds ever, right after anything related to Justin Bieber
Man that's awesome. I'm gonna have to try this myself. Awesome video.
Thanks John.
Never ever use gloves on rotating machines!!! Even if they were skinny.

Thank you for showing me exactly what I was looking for!! I am working on making a wooden sword for fun and I wanted to make the guard look like twisted steel square stock, and now I have an idea of how to achieve that look!!
Great Michael, I would love to see the sword when you are done.
Thank you! Enjoyed watching the video! You are a real master!
Thank you very much. Thanks for watching
Wow 👏 😍 .....I love ❤ love this table ....well done ✔ 👍 👌
Thank you very much Enrique!
The chainsaw, when sped up, sounds like me singing in the shower.😂
Huskies (Husqvarnas) sound real healthy when sped up
I don't even remember why I wrote this a year ago, I'm cringing so hard atm lol. ..
Why does the chainsaw sound like you slowly letting air out of a balloon. lol
It's just like Michaelangelo said about the Marble.... That stool looks amazing.
Thank you Jamie
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I'd like for you to see the type of structure similar to what you have have made but I made 2 for legs on a stool/bench. Would you be interested to see I kind of did it the same way you made it.
Nice
I wish my chainsaw really sounded like that.
I was going to buy one of these twisted wood stools for the house bus I'm creating (as a coffee table), and instead of spending $300 on that I thought I could just buy a chainsaw and plane and do it myself, because afterwards I have a stool and $300 bucks or more of tools I needed anyway. So which tools would you recommend? As this is my first chainsaw I'm interested to know. Also do you have to be careful with the angles etc, when using the chainsaw to protect it the chain from getting damaged or breaking? Thanks! I appreciate your help with this, and your project is beautiful! A real inspiration.
Hi thank you very much.
Re the tools, for me it all depends on the amount of use it will get. If its something I will rarely use I will not spend too much and if I will be using a lot I will always spend a bit more. The chain saw in the video is a Husqvarna which would be of good quality but there would be much cheaper brands available. The planer was a Makita heavy duty one but again smaller cheaper ones are available. The 125 mm angle grinder was the most used tool in this project. I used a GRAFF speedcutter disc (to shape) flap disc (to fine tune) and sanding disc to smooth all on the grinder.
I had no problems while using the chainsaw just be sure that everything secured firmly in place and take a little material off at a time and be sure to ware proper safety equipment.
Here is a link to an instructable on the build;

If you have any more questions feel free to ask..
Amazing work with that chainsaw. I wish you would do 4 of these for my living room.
Ha thank you very much James.
Awesome job Eamon. As soon as you rolled that stump out, I kicked myself in the butt. I just sent my stumps to the landfill. Doh!
Thank you Muddy!! no way thats a shame.
How talented! Thanks for showing us how.
Thank you very much Terence.
First. Fantastic.... Did you use a colour wood stain? if so what colour? or was it all just clear laquer?
Thanks Christopher. It was just a water based clear varnish.
Прекрасная работа! Не каждый возьмется за такое.
спасибо

is better to kept the edge rounded, you don't wanna injured with a chair this solid and sharp
This is Amazing 👏 Skillful Handy Work with Good Simple Tools 💯🥵
Thanks a lot Michael.
What if you don't use the epoxy? Do you have to fill the spaces or can you just stain without fillers?
You can just leave it natural.
That is beautiful. Please tell me what disc you are using in angle grinder?
Thank you. speedcuttergraff.com/
Awesome. Can you say where you source your resin from? I've gotten it a few times from amazon but it wasn't great and very hard to find a 2:1 mixture
Thank you very much. I cant recall the brand I used on this but I wouldn't use it again anyway as it takes about 48-72 hours to cure. I see lots of people online using total boat epoxy which seems to give great results.
¡¡ Felicitaciones....!! (Un saludo cordial para usted desde Europa)
Gracias. Hola desde Irlanda
Eamon, awesome work. Fair play. Definitely subscribing
Thank you.
Brilliant! Beautiful design and execution.
Thank you very much Reese.
The sound of the chainsaw sped up is extremely irritating.
🔇
I like it, i guess i need to buy an angle grinder :)
Thanks Lexie
Idk, this video seems a little twisted...
making it look so easy that people go out and buy a chainsaw only to be disappointed that they didn't even come close to this hahahaha
Beautiful!
Thank you Jonny!
Why does every DIY woodworking video on RUclips need to have this gay blue epoxy shit.
It brings out the blue in my eyes :-)
Nice job. Looks great. Was that a freshly cut log or did you need to dehydrate the log first? Thanks
Thanks Myron, no it had been drying in an open air shed for about 18 months. There are more details here if you want to have a look: www.instructables.com/id/Twisted-Stool-End-Table/
There is an advertisement below your video and the prices vary I am going to assume it's not yours any way I think it is a good piece to try for flea market
Could be worth a try!! :-)
Man , thats good. Be nice if you had a description of the way to do the cuts.. I like what you do...Awsome
Thank you Michael.
Loving the calpol syringe! Put to a good use!
Ha Ha! Well spotted! :-)
Awesome work man 👌👏
Last I checked I couldn't get my chainsaws rpm to anywhere near these speeds.
😂😂
might be a stupid question, but did you use dry wood or fresh wood? how much time did you season the wood? good job!
It was dry wood, it was drying for 1.5 - 2 years.
Ruined by the wrong color of epoxy.. otherwise looked great.
Thank you. Its a matter of taste.
Cool I would just use an electric sander on it make a round about end table FREE FURNITURE last longer then what you'll buy in the store
Awesome piece dude. I just am really not into this epoxy resin epidemic.
Thanks Joe & Angelika!
Здорово, то здорово, а вот как вы сидеть на нём будете ? Деревяшка с острыми углами. Хоть какое "седло" придумал бы.
Спасибо
Is this what Richard Spencer means when he talks about “White culture”???
Amazing 😍😍😍
Which wood did you use?
Thank you Shadid, I used Ash.
Thanks for sharing, it looks fantastic.
Thanks Declan.
Neat
Thanks Simon!
Make a door pens, work out because I do and I see many here in Brazil .. and congratulations for your art ... I have not copied from you and I have done it for years srs !!! If you post a video please ..
Is there a reason for using the paint can or do you just want to offset the diagonal from the top and bottom edge some amount?
Hi, It is just to draw the curve.
How much would that go for anybody? Please.
Priceless !! :-)
High end rustic furniture store
Looks at tag $200 bucks
Nice work tho 🤟🏼🤙🏼
I had twisted stool once. Little Imodium cleared it right up.
Sounds like you had a watery one not a twisted one! :-) :-)
Great job! What kind of wood is that?
Thank you Doug, It is Ash.
Good buid maker.
can you show me where to buy graff speedcutter? thanks
Here you go speedcuttergraff.com/
Also if you do that with a light-colored wood I think a Clear Stain with some light greenish food coloring mixed in would look really awesome
Very nice work! What kind of wood and how long was it dead when you started?
Thank you! The wood is Ash and it was cut approximately 1.5 - 2 years previously.
this i so cool!!!!!!!!!
lots of respect for this .
Thank you.
fantastic! How many chains do you go through without using bar oil?
How dry was that before you started making the stool
Hi Jimmy, it had been drying naturally in an open air shed for about 18 months and also spent a little time inside in a warmer environment.
now that's what i call *oh how the tables have turned*
😄
Hi there, what type of clear coat did you use on this project?
Hi Daniel, I cannot remember the name of the epoxy you see in the video but I did switch to gorilla 5 minute epoxy as the other was taking too long to cure. You have to work very fast with it though or do it in small batches.
For the finish on the wood I used a water based satin varnish (3 coats)
Very nice grain exposure
Where do you get plans for Thai twisted stools just like diy stool
Mate that’s awesome, where did you get the resin and hardner ?
Thanks Dave, I got the epoxy from here: glassfibre.ie/product/glasscast-3-clear-epoxy-coating-resin/
Beautiful
Thank you!
Clever
Perfection. thanks for sharing
Thank you Dru.
