Nice, I built one of those forty years ago. Gave it to my wife’s aunt, her daughter still has it.

Well done. Really enjoying your videos as you share your woodwork journey. Look forward to seeing more :)

I get chip out all the time with pine! If you can find the chipped out piece, put glue in the hole and reinsert the chip. Little blue tape to hold it in place and you’re good to go. It has saved a bunch of my projects. Great video as well!

Nice build and the narration is excellent.

it was real calm, entertaining project. Been too long adapted to using only power tools, forgot we all had time when there was no electricity. Thanks for sharing awesome work. Have a nice day

I really liked this video. Well done. I'm definitely looking forward to your shooting board comparison video.

Great video. It motivated me to try it with hand tools. The first immediate problem I ran into was stock prep. Trying to get the “common boards” from Home Depot completely square and flat has been extremely difficult. I’m also not sure how good is good enough.

I know you’re trying to move on from doing the stock prep by hand, but if you could make a video on your manual process I’d be super interested. I haven’t seen any stock prep videos on YouTube that do anything except for dimensioning a single large chunk of cherry.

Actually prepping the 3 boards for this stool from construction grade lumber to the point where you can make accurate layout lines and use for joinery would be new to YouTube as far as I can tell.

Quick question: did you make your own wedges?

[dennishanes]

Did you get a one speed or two speed planer ? Been looking that Dewalt planer myself. Got any recommendation?
