    Sir that was a great project, you have just given me a great reason to build a stool. I have watched all your videos so far and you are doing a great job. I used your Bench videos to build the bottom for a 100 year old bench I got from a friend who pass on. the base worked great and your joinery was seamless. thanks again sir..

    In the rural area where my shop is i get many custom requests to take the tendon all the way through and stabilize it with hide glue (my recipe from a book printed in 1601 in Latin) and then peg the opposite side of the tendon in the Japanese style. It’s something we’ve popularized locally.

    When cutting the haunches on the tenons just move the mutter gauge to the other side of the fence to haunch the short side; that way no chisel clean up is required afterwards. 23:32 in video

    Difficult to get 4 shoulders of a tenon in the same plane, even with 90 deg. cuts if stock is not perfectly square/parallel. Consider only two shoulders- cut them on the faces. Yes,you have to accurate with the mating mortise.Thanks for the video.

    Hi, thanks for video. I am only starting woodworking and now read a book about woodworking basics. Based on the book, because of season temperature changes, such stool top connection will destroy the whole structure or I misunderstood something

    just a few q's for newbies: - what is a "storey-stick"? , how have you set up the router ?, what bit have you used? and most importantly how do you prep the stock if you get your timber from a yard unprocessed?- as all of this video seems to be a "here is one I've prepared earlier". just wished you ( and the company who sponsored you) would have done a longer video, detailing every step as if it were for non woodworkers or people just starting out ( say using this project as their FIRST ONE).

    I think we have to assume he hasn't squared up the stock prior and just relied on it being square from the big box store. For any woodworker (handtool or power) squaring stock is the most crucial step in any process so completely agree with you here, although looking at some of his plunge cuts accuracy isn't exactly a priority here. A Story Stick is a way of taking relativistic measurments at scale without the need for complex diagrams and written measurements. No need to complicate this with some red anodized offering from bird-pecker companies, it can be - and at best is - a length of wood.

    Nice project. It would great if someone could demo how this could be done without the jig and measuring. Measuring is the hated enemy of carpenters and cabinet master craftsman around the world. Case in point, the mortise depth could easily be done without measuring and error by laying a piece of 3/4 stock under the base of the router and plunge the bit to the top of the table, set the bit height. 1,2&3. Done. But to each their own. Lastly, make or buy a marking gauge. Geesh‼️

    I can’t wrap my head around one thing. I’ve searched online and still can’t get this answer.. you’re cutting your legs at 5degrees, but you’re cutting your mortise and tenons at 90 degrees.. how do they sit horizontally, and not at an angle.. would you not have to cut either your mortise or Tennon at the same angle as you would cut the bottom of your legs?

    The plans are two-part; one a pdf of the cutting list and a three-view illustration, the second a SketchUp model of the stool. Both are zipped into a single folder. Your tablet may be fighting with the zipped file, or the SketchUp. I'll add Independent, non-zipped links for each in the video description. Thanks!

    Why does this look so much more complex than most of the three-legged-stool videos that just use hand tools? This seems to actually take longer. Also, it seems like there are a LOT of times "where the fun part really starts"!

    add in a spacer on your jig and you don't have to turn your work piece around.

    Did you watch the whole video before commenting? Something tells me you didn't. (Hint: He shows that technique when he does the top mortises, where you _can't_ turn the piece over. But it's nice to show both in a beginner's video.)

    Any real reason to square the corners of the mortise? Can't you round the tenon more easily?

    That's an option, and there are certainly a number of woodworkers out there that prefer that method. It's probably the easier method!
