Build a three legged stool.
My little three legged desk stool is complete and you re in luck because my buildy friend ana white has the plans for us.

Build the three legged stool you didn t know your home needed stats.
These 3 legged stools are simple pieces that are formed by using a conventional builder s bucket as the mold for the seating surface.
I m building it with the pantorouter which speeds up cutting the joinery but it doesn t solve the.
I m long overdue for an update here so i thought i d share some photos from a recent spec piece i made.
Wooden scrap pieces are clamped into the bucket.
All three leg stretchers are offset by 1 inch in height so the stool can be rotated to find the most comfortable position upon which to rest a foot.
The result is this 3 legged stool with a set of curved stretchers.
I finish all three legs to this point and set aside.
Although all measurements are provided on the drawing the design is very easy to adapt for any desired height seat diameter leg angle stretcher positioning or anything else you may wish to modify.
I feel extremely blessed and fortunate to have ana in my life because when you design a three legged stool with multiple angles she kindly agrees to make the plans.
This three legged stool is a woodworking project that you can complete in no time.
The design is so easy to work with that precise measurement isn t strictly necessary.
Using a forstner bit i bored a 35mm diameter hole in some scrap to act as a fitting template.
Made from contrasting woods cherry walnut and maple in this case it ll be an attractive and useful addition to any room.
I find carefully planning a woodworking project makes it more enjoyable.
You ll need to be able to cut a perfect circle for the seat of your three legged stool.
Initially i set out to make a chair but after struggling with the design i decided to take a break and work on something a little simpler.
