Thanks for showing us how to do it simple. Not all of us have a router, joiner, planer or any kind of fancy tools. You even do it on the floor. No vice's or clamps. I look forward to more. Keep it up.
You don't have all that stuff? well you haven't been selling enough body parts lol Seriously though you're right that#s how they did it in the old days; power tools just make things quicker easier and with less effort....allegedly.
I'm choosing your vids because I'm not buying a lot of expensive tools until I decide whether I really like making things myself. Thank you for simplicity and quiet.
One of the best Reference guide for woodworking. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxcZqgZ8Ynkiz5n_LxIWRlAicuzmz5kCHG Focuses more on the manual took style of wood working then how to use more modern power tools. However the information is incredibly in depth and provides great help. Has a whole section devoted to wood types and has projects in the back
I made the coffee table from your video and now making 2 bar stools. I just love how easy you make it to follow. Others could take a lesson on "how to" videos. THIS is how you do it! Thanks!
I used this simple stool as the basis for a shop stool for my workshop. My butt isn't as skinny as y'all's so I widened the seat a tad. For strength I made the seat out of 2x6's instead of 1x8's and joined them with pocket screws so as to practice that skill. Since it's for my shop I'll paint instead of stain it. Nice, simple design and it was easy to put together.
I made two of these this weekend to go under a pub table I made last week. For the price, they are perfect. Not the best, but definitely not the worst and each one was actually UNDER $20 because I bought 2x6's and ripped them down to 2x3's myself. Also, I added pocket holes for a little more steadiness. Thanks again for the idea and plans. It is about the 5th thing in my home from you guys!
The little dog always makes an appearance in their videos. He's a cute little puppy! Thanks guys for sharing your talents, it's simple and you can choose the quality of wood you use.
I just wanted to let you know that I watched your barn door for $40 video several times and today my neighbors and I built two barn doors exactly the way you did I went and bought the hardware from Home Depot and placed it in my man cave, it is excellent thank you so much.
You guys are great your videos are crisp your builds are cool. NOW STOP SCREWING INTO END-GRAIN! Use pocket hole joinery guys who are watching. If you want to screw into end-grain that's great use it just as a clamp for glue. And when you glue up pre-fill that in green with glue. What I mean is apply glue wait for it to soak into the end grain and apply some more until it stops sucking it up. Imagine end-grain being a handful of straws. You try to stick a screw in there you just stuck in ornament that is meant to pull out into your end grain but if you pre fill that in end grain with glue and then screw into it, the screws act like a clamp and the glue has nowhere to go but to create a strong bond. This is not meant to be hating so don't take it as such just trying to make sure people are building furniture that lasts for generations
That looks great and it seems simple. I'm gonna try it. I've been trying to do one with angles and it's just coming out right. Thanks again and I'll keep you guys posted on now mine comes out. If you have an easy way to make picture frames please post it. Carl a 79 year old novice wood worker.
Holy cow! Here is the solution I've been looking for! I am planning to make these soon. I created a bar out of a stock lowes workbench and have been struggling to find the right stools. I will be able to make perfectly matching stools that nest beneath. And all of your sizes work for me! I wish the store was open all night because I'd be making a 1am run to buy wood. Lol
I made one today (10/25/18). I have one more to make tomorrow. Nice easy method.My local home depot doesn't carry trim head screws so I had to use regular screws that were left over from the bench project. I just drilled them in pretty deep and then covered it up. Thank you both very much for these tutorials. I for one am definitely using them.
very simple and easy design. I do worry about using trim screws to hold this together. Also, no wood glue? I will follow this design but will use pocket hole screws with wood glue for added strength.
So I just made this today for my wife as a sort of early birthday present. Took me about an hour and a half to get to the staining. I don’t have a miter saw so I had to use my circular saw. It turned out pretty good for my very first DIY project. It looks awesome. Thank you for posting this and making it easy to follow.
I love how you guys build this stuff with common tools that most everyone has available. I can't stand seeing video titles that say “$100 workbench" then they're using thousands of dollars of equipment like metal lathes, jointers, planers, band saws, and drill presses.
Made 3 of these stools but out of cherry to match a pub table I had as a commission. Customer loved the set I added an extra set of stretchers up high tho.just for looks.
Opinion… would this stool look good if I made it shorter to fit under a normal dining table? I am not feeling a bench because I don’t want everyone to have to get up if someone wants out. My concern is if the rectangle at the bottom would look weird if it was that short? Or maybe use wood that is half that width for the bottom? I’ll assume you haven’t made one like that so just hoping for your opinion.
GOOD JOB! Well done video-you made it look simple and easy to build; which speaks well of your woodworking ability. I thought the music was kind of annoying but it’s your video-your choice. 👍🏻
Fantastic project as usual guys! Well thought out and easy to follow instructions, you guys really need your own tv show 😊😊 Massive fan of you both all the way from England, keep up the great work and happy new year to you both
Hallooo, I was happy, very happy for this bar stool, i made it my self in white, it was easy to make, i follow the steps and i get two very nice bar stool
You might want to use longer screws as they will only penetrate half an inch into the second timber. Hence the comments about it being wobbly. Good work though
Hi I love your vids very easy to follow along with I made one of your kitchen islands it turned out great. I would like to make 2 of these and maybe some with back rests. Any suggestion for adding a backrest to these or would it have to be a completely different stool?
@@TheRehabLife Ahaha you crazy cats! Switch to metric already USA ;) We call that a 50×75, which is exactly what it is (unless it's dressed, in which case it's about 42×67... okay, we're no better here...)
You state to place the second rectangle 14.5 inches away from the first, am I missing something because it looks llike you are a bit further away, great project btw.
Thanks! We're actually using the one we made for another purpose so we put the foot rest a little lower. For standard seating though, space them 14 1/2" apart which will end up giving you 17 3/4" of space (average of what you want is between 17-18") between the top of your stool and the top of the foot rest once the project is complete. Sorry for the confusion!

No fancy tools? That DeWalt is $450 paired with a Diablo saw blade that's around $45, and the drill is $50 without batteries.

Hi so im building a stool for my daughter and wanted to paint some flowers on it. would i paint them on after the stain then seal?
I like this channel for the nice and simple, but very useful. I agree with Mark Gstohl to make a workbench finally.
Nice, very easy to follow project... thanks
You are welcome!
Simply GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll copy it!!!
Simple and well done. I think maybe even I can make a stool like this!
Instructed very well! Beautiful stool!
Does the materials cover for 2 stools or one???
Thanks your gonna save me loads of money
Ooo! I have been waiting for this one! I NEED bar stools for my patio bar!
Do you have any recommendations on adding a back to this bar stool?

If I’m using 2x2 should I take off a inch for the 2 little squares?
you guys are GREAT!!!...no wonder i subscribed...thanks for the video...
Thank you!

Love the videos! I would love to see a farmhouse chair video.
Such a rich, gorgeous colour!
If I wanted to upholster these how would i go about doing that
Absolutely LOVE your episodes.
This is such a cool video. Thanks for making it. U made it easy for a person to make a bar stool
Thanks for watching!
Tried this awesome and very easy Thanks a lot
Any suggestions for adding a back support to these...
Nice 😎
Having a hard time finding 2 x 3 could I use 2 x 4 instead?
Yup! You would just need to adjust your measurements a little
guy, it seems wobbly...it was moving when you were sanding it :) . would 2x4s for the frame be stronger?
You guys need to build a workbench
Maybe one of these days...
The Rehab Life you've been killing it so far without one. You do you.
Great! How sturdy is the stool?
- Nice, simple & practical.
How can I make this with a back? Do you have a video of one with a back?
Can u guys do a kitchen Cornice/Valance??
Will you show us how to make a simple dresser?
i love all the videos you both make.
Thanks for watching!
Maravilhoso está banqueta
Keep up the good work guys love all of the videos!!
Thanks!
Me encantan sus prollectos
This is so easy to follow and do!!!❤️
Add a square and wood glue to your list!
Lovely simple project...thank you.
You both are great!!!
No wood glue to assemble the legs? I don't feel it will last very long without... nice project!
Can you please add a project for cell phone and pen holder? You are very creative. Thanks.
The closest thing we have for that right now is probably our tray?:

Just a tip from an old painter. Putty hole after staining.
What type of wood is this?
How thick does all of the wood need to be
What kind of wood do you use?
What manner of sorcery did you use to make 2" + 14" + 2" = 17" ?
Mathematics sorcery! The actual width of a 2" board is only 1 1/2"...
@@TheRehabLife Ahaha you crazy cats! Switch to metric already USA ;) We call that a 50×75, which is exactly what it is (unless it's dressed, in which case it's about 42×67... okay, we're no better here...)
@@andrewweston832 Haha yeah I wish we were all about the metric system over here, makes waaaay more sense
@@TheRehabLife But just to make it confusing, we still also refer to those as "three by twos"...
Nice
Awesome chairs, would love to do couple of them in my bar.
Can you just put sizes of wood in centimeters in comment, thx 💪
PLEASE make a coffee bar!! Thanks in advance😜
Btw love your work! I’ve made the rustic headboard and a coffee table!! 😁
Hello, what model saw do you use? thanks
That was a dewalt miter saw - I have a porter cable and it's nice too - lots of good affordable options for electric miter saws.
@@raynechantel2738 Thank You
will do
Please tell me you have a video for that bar at the end 🙏.
We do! ruclips.net/video/BwcjLohPjtQ/видео.html
@@TheRehabLife Thisnis really is the best DIY channel for beginners. I just received the book from Amazon too. Thanks
it will last longer if you use glue
Glue is for pussies
Charles Trubl Interesting comment. Curious why you would say that.
No one has time for glue
What size drill bit...???
What size wood are you using for the legs?
What'd the weight limit? 😅
Well done!
always great job from you ..one question the name how it came up???????
Thanks for watching! We rehab houses as our full time job so it's based off of that.
Great job. Thanks for sharing.
may i use plywood to build it?
or not
Great project, but why don't you check anthing for square..... especially the legs ....... or do you do this and not show in the video ???
Love you guys!
Thank you!
Simple and fucking elegant!!!! Thank you ... loved it!
just the job! sturdy,very easy to build....and all the measurements in feet and inches unlike the awful metric that's being forced on us in england.
i like you created 2 identical rectangles.
How long do you wait when you apply wood filler before you start sanding ?
Depends on the filler you use, the instructions on the back should give you an idea.
You state to place the second rectangle 14.5 inches away from the first, am I missing something because it looks llike you are a bit further away, great project btw.
