Joe Brien took us in-hand, in using hand-tools to make a handy milking stool.
This is a draw shave used by pulling towards yourself and with the grain of the wood.
By clamping the pre-cut stool seat in a neat gizmo called a shave horse. It's a foot operated clamp.
Another way to hold your stool seat.
Smoothing the edges.
Using piece of wood, a nail and a pencil to figure out where to drill holes for the legs.
A little decoration.
A hand operated drill press.
Tapering the ends of the legs.
Marking where wedges will go.
Making splits for the wedges to go into.
Putting glue on the wedge.
Setting the wedge.
Sawing off the extra leg length.
Planing the top smooth.
How long do you want your legs?
All hard at work.
All done now!!
