Knock About Stool

This project is designed to appeal to woodturners of all ages and skill levels. It focuses on creating a rugged, functional piece of furniture that serves as a practical addition to any workshop or home. Tremondous aid for those of us that find it difficult to get up from the floor. 

The approach emphasizes fundamental skill-building, guiding turners through the essential techniques of spindle turning and joinery. The project is characterized by its simplicity and durability, making it an ideal exercise for those looking to master the basics of turning legs and stretchers while ensuring structural integrity. By breaking down the process into manageable steps, the demonstration provides a roadmap for producing a "knock-about" stool that is as much about the joy of the making process as it is about the final utilitarian product. It stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional, handcrafted woodware.

It feels great when you sit on it and even better when you pick it up!
