very cool, glad to see young people getting into working with their hands, I am not sure how old your kiddos are, but eyes, ears, and a close eye on them, keep them in the shop with you as much as you can safely. Keep passing it on!
Nice job on this project. Don't take this the wrong way, but I find your style encouraging and approachable. So many woodworkers on RUclips talk about how easy this hobby is, and then they pull out their expensive equipment and knock out projects. I always appreciate the people who not only say something easy or try to make it look like it is easy, but actually demonstrate it through their technique and the tools that they use.
Super cool project- even more so as a 2x4 challenge project. I really liked the idea of using the scroll saw for through mortises. I'm going to try that myself. I also like the idea of using shop projects to experiment with joinery. Takes some of the stress out of trying something outside of my comfort zone. Subscribed.
Great video! I'm a fairly well rounded carpenter, but when I try and do shop work things usually don't go as planned. You guys have had great ideas in this challenge and have made great videos to showcase your work.
I've only started learning about woodworking, so I have to say thank you for explaining every step, including saying what the names of the tools are. A lot of videos I've seen are fun to watch, but they assume you already know what everything is and how all the tools work, so they aren't very informative. Also, really creative approach with the bench! It's hard to believe it's made out of a single 2x4!
+Bryan M Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. I am really glad you enjoyed the video. It always helps to hear what people do or do not like. Sometimes it's hard to find a good balance on the level of detail. Thanks again!
Yeah, you wouldn't want to bore the more seasoned watchers. For me something as simple as "I made this cut with my table saw" vs makes a world of difference.
Thanks Wayne. I was very surprised as well. I drew out my cuts on a scrap piece of paper quite a few times. I suppose the thin kerf on the bandsaw and scroll saw helped quite a bit. Thanks a lot for watching and commenting!
excellent video. the block holding the gear at it's chosen height makes it a pin adjusted stool with a geared aesthetic, but it is still a very nice project.
That was an awesome idea. I've been wanting to play with wood gears since I discovered Matthias, but I haven't come up with any interesting ideas yet. Creative ideas like yours are inspiring. Keep up the good work.
Jerry - Hi ! I REALLY enjoyed your build. Simple and to the point. Well DONE ! Great idea for a project, and I ESPECIALLY like how you decided to use the gears and how you cut and refined them ! Also, I REALLY appreciate your narration. 1. It was CLEAR and concise, and 2. it seemed WELL thought out and 3. a GOOD narration can add insight to the thought process that really helps us follow what you're doing ! SO MANY "videos" use no narration, and while they are just fine, they lack the benefit your narration brought to your video. Those videos that just use a rambling "what do I say next" approach, well, I usually find myself just skipping past them. Thanks for hitting the "sweet spot" ! Nice job on a well executed project, and thanks for sharing the build with us in this EXCELLENT video ! Best to you from Texas - C.
Thanks a ton Chuck! I am very grateful for your comment. It is very nice to hear someone appreciate the effort I put into this video. It seems like I would best serve viewers by putting out similar content. I try to keep my videos from putting people to sleep while at the same time add a bit of insight to my thinking and process (good or bad). Truly THANK YOU!
Yep. They are offset. Only one side on each vertical support actually engages with the gear. The teeth on the other support are simply for aesthetics. They are offset. So as you might imagine since the teeth are engaging on a diagonal the stool might tend to rotate, but I countered that with a couple horizontal pieces in between the vertical supports to counter any of this and keep everything square. Good catch!
I believe you got lift on those cuts on your saw because you didn't have enough blade exposed above the board being cut. I used to cut like that for cross cuts but ripping you need to have a full saddle depth of the tooth exposed. This stops air/dust from being shoved under the wood by the blade and gives greater downforce to the cutting action. You'll find it also reduces burning opportunities for the blades. Just something I've discovered here. Nice work on the 2.4 challenge. Mattias has influenced a lot of wood workers, glad to see you crediting him.
Subscribed!! I like that stool a lot and i have a lot of the same tools you have, the wen band saw, the wen drill press, Ryobi mutter saw. I like it! Keep it up
Nice video and interesting project. My only comment is I question the strength of just a glue joint where the post attaches to the base. You like lap joints, this would have been a perfect place. Or at least some screws to add to the joint. Nice job.
I notice the stool shown in the beginning is made without the wooden gears. What is the difference between the two designs... how does the first design lock the seat in place when the height is adjusted?
Hey Kevin the stool shown at the beginning was just a mock-up of the design for me to figure out how things were going to go together and to make sure that I was going to have enough material. It is not functional, just my "sketch book" if you will. Thanks for watching!
Bro! that came out so freaking nice and cool!!! you did a really great job on that!!! I am so surprised that all you used was one 2×4!!! INCREDIBLE work I just subscribed! I look forward to seeing all your videos have a great day and God bless.
+daviddaddy Thanks a ton! It was a lot of fun to design and build this thing. I appreciate the comments. I hope you enjoy my future videos as well. Thanks for taking the time to leave some feedback.
+Skewed Maker Thanks! This took me probably 16 hours I would say. It would likely go much much faster the second time around without all the head scratching.
I came across your video by coincidence, im 19, and studied carpentry here in belgium. I have so say you do a good job. And iwish my dad was just close to you as a person cause you seem like an amazing dad. Great job! And keep making videos ill sub for sure
Actually I thought you did a great job on that stool. I don't have all the tools you have, but then I am more into renovations than hobby projects. However, after seeing your stool, I will have to get into this line since I am now disabled. Great video, really loved it.
Very nice stool and awesome design work. Two things make you a better push stick out of 1/2" or 3/4" ply kinda like a boot with a grip on the top and only use it for the last 12-16" of the cut on long boards less chance of slipping and much easier than push blocks. 2 thing on the seat joint I thing using some sort of biscuit or dowel rods would give you a much better ( longer lasting) result than just glue. As it would help with warping and cupping over time plus it would strength the joint that is closest to you. Great video I hope to start a channel one day for my wood working. I have a lot to learn about videoing and editing. You earned a. New subscriber here.
Thanks a lot James! Thanks a lot for the tips! I will have to put together a better push stick. A few people have told be how bad this is. I am glad I know now. Editing is quite a bit of work if you let it be. But I really enjoy it. Thanks for watching! And for Subscribing!!!
Small Shop Works What program do you use for editing or do you use the RUclips tools? and what kind of camera do you use? Thanks for responding to my comment. You are the first RUclipsr to ever reply to me. Looking forward to more videos from you.
Hey sorry I just saw this. I am using Vegas Movie Studio 14 Platinum, and a Sony A6000. I am quite happy with both tools, but would love to upgrade my software at some point.
Yeah I hear ya! My manual for my table saw says the arbor is too short for a dado set. I hope to upgrade my saw soon. I love this glue bottle! it is a Glu-Bot. You can get it on amazon: amzn.to/2FL611g Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment!
Good catch it does totally look that way. I am not totally sure what is going on there maybe some flexing in the plywood, or that far side is not parallel. I made this in a bit of a hurry so that is quite possible. The sled seems to give me very good results. Thanks a lot for watching. Ha now I am off to my shop to go investigate.
Great design, Love it. Question, when looking at the final assembled I notice one side of the gears does not touch the one side gear rail. Is that correct? Thanks
That is correct. On either side the gear spins freely. If it made contact on the other side it would bind. However the gear on the opposite side of the stool sharing that same axle contacts that side. This allows the look to be symmetric and for everything to move smoothly. So each gear is used to hold someone up but it only works on one side. Thanks for asking!
Chris, Great question. actually have a video coming soon on my tablesaw setup, including the fence that I made. It should be out in a week or two. Check back then.
I love the Tools your using, Can you please Sum them up ? ( orange angle, blue adjustable angle. but then the technical so i can find them names. lol,) Thank you very much !
Hey Eric Thanks a lot for watching. It took me a minute to throw together a list. These are all the tools that I saw that I used in the video that I didn't mention in the video description. I hope this helps. One thing I should say is that these links will give me a little kickback, but cost you nothing through Amazon. I hope you find some of these useful.

In all honesty, it was frikin awesome! Though I wished I had more than just chisels, hammer, and hand saws. ... Though, it could use a mechanism similar to that of box cutters as the lock you're using is quite a hassle to use. Either that or make the first few mm that collide with the lock, circular or triangular so that it locks in much quicker with less manual calibration. :D
I was confused as to why you had teeth on both sides of the leg support as that would lock a gear in place. It all came clear at then end. The one side serves only to hold your stop in place. Very clever design! Look forward to looking at more of your videos.
Small Shop Works One thing you could have done is make one side of the gear racks adjustable, then when you get the height where you want it, you can squeeze the racks together and it will lock the gears. Doing it that way, the weight will be supported on all four gears instead of just one.
I figured the 2x4 had to have been 20' long or something :P tough to make a stool as complicated as that out of single, regular 8' length Nicely executed
I actually did not make a pattern for this stool, If you would like I can probably find the pattern I made the gears from and post those. You are actually the first person to request patterns. Thanks for watching!
That's why we use computers today to control simple tasks. A simple electro-mechanical dial to set the time on a microwave would be more dependable but it lacks style, class.. Like exotic computers controlling simple tasks, his exotic design adds class, ingenuity and style to a stool. Without style and class, we'd all be driving VW Beetles, no Lambos, no 'Vettes, no Caddys. etc.
The other side of the pinion does not necessarily need to be geared, but I needed to make the most of the material and using the off cut allowed me to do that and to make it look symmetric. However that part does however keep the stool aligned by allowing the stop block on the opposite side something to ride along which keeps the stool from rotating. Thanks for asking. I hope this is clear.
+Mark Carter I regret not demonstrating using this stool. It is not the most stout piece of furniture, but it definitely holds me. I have had very little issues using it.Thanks for watching!
How is it that you own all of that equipment, but not a dado stack? Seems a bit backwards to me. I ordered a dado stack about 2 hours after buying my 'table' saw. (My "shop" is very similar, including the use of a "job site" saw, for what it's worth.)
bobpisgod. From what I have read I am not supposed to use a dado stack with this saw because of the arbor length being to short. I thought about getting a finger joint blade to use instead, but decided against it. Are you using a dado stack with the Dewalt contractor tablesaw?
Indeed. A DWE7490, with a DeWalt dado stack. It may have a longer arbor than the model that you're using. I did have to make my own zero-clearance insert, as DeWalt does not offer one for my saw (or at least didn't when I bought the saw). I don't remember exactly how DeWalt approaches the use of a dado stack with my saw, but I remember the gist of it being along the lines of, "We don't recommend it, but if you're going to, then use DeWalt part number XXXX".
Hey Virtual Father. I have had a few people ask about this. It is a custom fence I made for my saw. I have used it and it has helped tremendously. I am actually making a video on my setup soon. (I have shot the footage, now I just have to make the video) So please look for that video coming fairly soon.
I liked the casual, relaxing pace of the video... great work. Nice project, too. I also found you through JaysCustomCreations' facebook post of "Interesting stuff from around the web"... subscribed.
I did too! Cutting something on a shop tool should not be as complicated as a moon launch. Ear protectors, hard hat, safety glasses, steel toes boots, push stick, vacuum on, start saw. Houston we have lift off! This was simple down to Earth basics.
I was very impressed with the design, versatility, and ease of construction of this project.
Thanks a lot Reginald! In my mind that makes a good project. I am striving to make more projects along those lines.
Excellent project & video dude.
very cool, glad to see young people getting into working with their hands, I am not sure how old your kiddos are, but eyes, ears, and a close eye on them, keep them in the shop with you as much as you can safely. Keep passing it on!
Thanks speedbuggy16v. I love the time I can manage having them in the shop. And they seem to really like it as well. I am quite lucky.
Good job and great to see you getting the children involved.
Thanks! I love when the kids are excited about what I am doing in the shop.
Incredible that you could get so much out of so little! Congratulations on the nod from Jay Bates, too. Thanks for sharing. Mike
Thanks a ton Mike! I feel honored.

I think this is the most bestest use of a 2 by 4 I’ve ever seen ever. Wow...
Thanks a lot John!
That's very ingenious. Nice going.
Thanks a lot Butch. I was a fun build. I learned a lot!
Looks great!!!! Very difficult project and still very good effort. Like it a lot!
Thanks a lot Stanvern!
Never heard that salt trick for glue-ups before. Thanks!
Also, that was a cool project concept, which came out looking great!
Thanks! Mr. Yes I really appreciate it! I picked up that tip from another video :)
Small Shop Works never heard of the salt . How much ? A few grains ? Will it affect the wood or finish ?
Yeah just a few grains. I have not seen any affect from using it on my finish but then again it has always been in a glue joint and not exposed.
I've only started learning about woodworking, so I have to say thank you for explaining every step, including saying what the names of the tools are. A lot of videos I've seen are fun to watch, but they assume you already know what everything is and how all the tools work, so they aren't very informative.

Thanks Doug! I think that plywood probably works best for the gears, but hey a 2 x 4 works okay too I suppose in the right situation.
Well, I guess you're ahead of the game if you ever do a plywood challenge :)

You should have used your band saw on that half lap, save some time. Cool stool though, did you put a finish on it?
Good Call! I have yet to put finish on it. Maybe at some point I will put some boiled linseed oil on it.
Very cool project
Thanks a lot Kevin!
could you show me or tell me more about that High fence you have on your Tablesaw?
Chris, Great question. actually have a video coming soon on my tablesaw setup, including the fence that I made. It should be out in a week or two. Check back then.
the cutouts from the gears was a nice touch
+nadam35 Thanks a lot! it seemed to fit well, and it made it way stronger.
Would be really cool if you sold plans for this
Thanks for the suggestion Samuel. If I get a bit more interest I might put something together. I have not had too much interest at this point.
I'm curious 2X4Xwhat? How long of a 2X4 were you allowed to use?
2" x 4" x 96" A standard construction 2 x 4 here in the US.
That's about as close to genius as it comes.

Though, it could use a mechanism similar to that of box cutters as the lock you're using is quite a hassle to use. Either that or make the first few mm that collide with the lock, circular or triangular so that it locks in much quicker with less manual calibration. :D
Thanks! Good call. I tried to taper the interface a bit to make it engage a bit easier but yeah I agree. Thanks a lot for watching!
great job
Thanks Kenny!
I thought that was a cool idea. Make the shop stool actually functional as well as bad ass. Great job!
Thanks man! I really appreciate it!
I was confused as to why you had teeth on both sides of the leg support as that would lock a gear in place. It all came clear at then end. The one side serves only to hold your stop in place. Very clever design! Look forward to looking at more of your videos.
Thanks Jason! Yeah I really liked the symmetry it brought to the design. And it seemed to be the beset use of the limited material.
Small Shop Works One thing you could have done is make one side of the gear racks adjustable, then when you get the height where you want it, you can squeeze the racks together and it will lock the gears. Doing it that way, the weight will be supported on all four gears instead of just one.
Ah good call! Very nice!
beautiful!
Thanks a ton TrikeRoadPoet! I appreciate it. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
Cool! I learned a while back that cheap blades are horrible things
So True. Thanks for watching!
I figured the 2x4 had to have been 20' long or something :P
tough to make a stool as complicated as that out of single, regular 8' length
Nicely executed
Ha! Thanks a lot ObsessionPC!
Brilliant well done
Thanks Mick!
Where can I get the pattern?
I actually did not make a pattern for this stool, If you would like I can probably find the pattern I made the gears from and post those. You are actually the first person to request patterns. Thanks for watching!
great idea thank you
Sure thing. Thanks for checking out my video!
hi
such complicated solution to a simple problem... put 2 plats of wood with hols and a pin to hold and you good. what is the gear for?
You are right Boris. This is overly complicated, but it is my attempt to make something useful and stylish. Thanks for commenting and watching.
And not nearly as cool. Love the gears and the seat supports.
Boris; Why paint the Mona Lisa?
Boris Rosenthal Because he's at a higher skill level than that.
That's why we use computers today to control simple tasks. A simple electro-mechanical dial to set the time on a microwave would be more dependable but it lacks style, class.. Like exotic computers controlling simple tasks, his exotic design adds class, ingenuity and style to a stool. Without style and class, we'd all be driving VW Beetles, no Lambos, no 'Vettes, no Caddys. etc.
I dont understand of whats the purpose of the other side of the gear if it will not properly contact with the wheel gear🤔🤔🤔
The other side of the pinion does not necessarily need to be geared, but I needed to make the most of the material and using the off cut allowed me to do that and to make it look symmetric. However that part does however keep the stool aligned by allowing the stop block on the opposite side something to ride along which keeps the stool from rotating. Thanks for asking. I hope this is clear.
Do you actually sit on that ? It looks so fragile !
+Mark Carter I regret not demonstrating using this stool. It is not the most stout piece of furniture, but it definitely holds me. I have had very little issues using it.Thanks for watching!
How is it that you own all of that equipment, but not a dado stack? Seems a bit backwards to me. I ordered a dado stack about 2 hours after buying my 'table' saw.
(My "shop" is very similar, including the use of a "job site" saw, for what it's worth.)
bobpisgod. From what I have read I am not supposed to use a dado stack with this saw because of the arbor length being to short. I thought about getting a finger joint blade to use instead, but decided against it. Are you using a dado stack with the Dewalt contractor tablesaw?
Indeed. A DWE7490, with a DeWalt dado stack. It may have a longer arbor than the model that you're using.
I did have to make my own zero-clearance insert, as DeWalt does not offer one for my saw (or at least didn't when I bought the saw).
I don't remember exactly how DeWalt approaches the use of a dado stack with my saw, but I remember the gist of it being along the lines of, "We don't recommend it, but if you're going to, then use DeWalt part number XXXX".
Cool thanks a lot!
Awesome just Awesome :)
Thanks a lot mccorrade!
What is the story on your fence
Hey Virtual Father. I have had a few people ask about this. It is a custom fence I made for my saw. I have used it and it has helped tremendously. I am actually making a video on my setup soon. (I have shot the footage, now I just have to make the video) So please look for that video coming fairly soon.
great i have that saw
Hey VirtualFather in case you missed it here is the video on the Fence and my Table Saw setup.
that is pretty freakin cool
Thanks a lot Francis!
I liked the casual, relaxing pace of the video... great work. Nice project, too. I also found you through JaysCustomCreations' facebook post of "Interesting stuff from around the web"... subscribed.
Thanks Troy
I did too! Cutting something on a shop tool should not be as complicated as a moon launch. Ear protectors, hard hat, safety glasses, steel toes boots, push stick, vacuum on, start saw.
Houston we have lift off!
This was simple down to Earth basics.
