Just to clarify the dado cuts (the notches): it IS safe and common practice to use your miter gauge and your rip fence in combination when making non-through cuts since there is no cutoff piece to kick back and potentially fly toward you. However, notice that when I make my crosscuts at 2:00, I use a spacer block clamped to my rip fence. This prevents the wood from getting trapped between the blade and fence. If any of this seems confusing, please check out my Tablesaw Basics video where I go into kickback in more detail. Thanks for watching, everybody!

Something to try next time, when doing the dado's for the legs set it to the far distance for the first cut. Then, use the stretcher as a stop block and it will put it at the correct distance to make it a perfect fit. Something to try instead of moving the fence in case the wood is not the very exact dimensions it is supposed to be.

Omg you're my new best friend I've never met. I just started caprentry and built a farmhouse table and it turned out awesome. Everyone laughed when I told then I was watching your videos and was going to build furniture. Then I built a beginner's farmhouse table and they're not laughing now! :-)

Thanks so much!

Great video. I learn something new from almost every one of your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see this. I loved the explanation on how to creep up on the cut. Came out as a nice project.

Started watching your channel a couple of weeks ago and I really like how you explain things. I just got into woodworking less than a year ago and never understood how my Dad, who was a marine mechanic, ever got into it. Really long story short I see now how incredible it is to make something yourself, to appreciate the raw beginng and seeing the finished end.

I’ve been watching your videos for a long Time now And I finally ordered very own GRR-RIPPER. It is been the absolute best purchase I’ve made for my shop. I feel so much safer and more confident now that I have this tool. Thank you for all of your advice and your consistent reminders to buy a GRR-RIPPER.

You are awesome Steve. Thank you! I recently bought a table saw, router and some other basic tools and I can't wait to get into wood working more! Your videos are super helpful!

I just wanted to say, I’ve made this stool 3 times now out of oak (4 times if you count the one I screwed up and it fell apart) and every time I make this stool I get just a little bit better at my joinery. What I’ve learned is to measure, Mark everything, and take your time. Having the plans in front of me to check and recheck is also a huge thing for me. This stool is handsome, rugged, easy to make and strong!

I so enjoy watching you problem-solve in your shop. Your 'approachable' style and non-intimidating setup are no-doubt responsible for many thousands of first-time shop-dwellers. I have to say, the simple advice you impart in TWW about finishing the piece has already saved me many hours of needless trial & error. I think the course paid for itself right there. Thanks, Steve, and please keep doing what you do.

Steve I'm just starting woodworking, I'm building my workshop bit by bit everyday but my evenings are spent watching videos likes yours and taking notes. I just want to say thank you so much for being such a great teacher.

Thank you for demonstrating and celebrating my favorite joint: the Half Lap! Seriously, I use it quite a bit for all the reasons you give in your video. Thanks, Steve.

I made new base for my table saw last weekend. Your video just showed me half lap joints were indeed the way to go. :) Thanks Steve.

There's a neat trick I saw concerning jointing two boards at the same time to make the seam perfect. Once you have the 2 boards next to each other (the way you want them together), you fold them accordion style so the 2 TOP faces are on the outside. You can run them over a jointer this way, or since I don't have one I did it on the table saw and it works amazingly. If they're different widths, just use the table saw jointing jig to lock them down and buzz the 2 sides at once. This will correct any Kant issue the saw blade might be off by. Hell, you could even cut both at 45 (or any) deg and they would fit perfectly ; glue slide might be an issue though.

Just found your channel I have been building cabinets ,cabins and everything in between for decades and after watching your videos I can’t disagree with one word your saying, right on the mark, Newbies listen and vets like me too , thanks

Man, I had so much fun building this stool. I did make a few mistakes but I learned a lot.

Thank you for the training vids, I like how you explain things simply & make it suitable to someone who hasn't used these tools before.

Steve - you're the man! Just moved into our new house and finally have my own shop (well, *room* for my own shop, but the shop itself has sprouted and is already getting busy) and I'm learning a ton from your videos. Thanks man! One thing I've been complaining about is not having a seat and although I may make some adjustments to my version of this stool (I'm about 3 times your size), I'm totally going to make something like this to get a first version of a shop stool. Much appreciated!

This helped a ton. I love your humble explanation but how your practice is finally paying off in a thing that you love is golden

Hey Steve I just completed the Adirondack chair from your plans thanks. I have to agree on setting up a wood shop for about 1000 bucks, I started last year buying sanders, planer, table saw, bandsaw. You just have to shop around I so enjoy learning from you.

If u go used and skip the table saw you can do it for less than 500

One of the most satisfying sounds to me is the sounds of your working when its sped up. The changing of the saw blades, removing of the clamps, simple taps of the hammer even.

Perfect timing Steve as I just made a stand up desk this week and needed a stool for it. Thanks so much, always a pleasure watching you and your creations. The Tardis is still on my to do list!

Like to watch your videos , Steve ! The beauty which means a combination of qualities , such as shape , color , or form , that pleases the aesthetic senses , especially a sight. My son is asking me to teach , I'm a good worker , but very bad teacher . Thanks to you I'm telling him how to and why using your methods and simple explanation. We are going to HD to get a lumber and replicate that stool . Thank you , Steve Ramsey!👍👍👍

Holy cow Steve! I made this for my shop and it absolutely kicked my butt! I messed up the legs about three times, but after finishing it, I find myself using it all the time! Great Work!

Cheers. While people will have various opinions on how to make the stool, it is valuable to listen to the message within regarding setup and use of tools. Thank you for your tool guide.

Good build Steve. Basic projects are my favorites. It shows the beginning steps for the more intermediate projects down the road.

Another fantastic video. Thanks Steve. I appreciate you going out of your way to demonstrate worrying techniques for us!

Glad to have your weekly videos back! It's been sad to not see them. Hail to the lap joints!!

I remeber watching your videos years ago when you started out, just looking at much your shop has changed over the years is interesting. Nice stool

Well now it's clear, I can't get enough of your videos. Don't know if it's the information you put in or the way you express yourself. Hats off Sir!

Steve, thank you so much for the tool list. I downloaded it to a thumb drive for future use.

Thank you for making this video and having the plans available. I built myself one using hand tools and just what wood I had on hand.

Thank you for all your hard work. I'm working through your woodworking series - and I love your presenting style. Thanks for sharing!

As a professional homesteader since 2020, these are skills I haven’t used in 25+ years! Loving this channel for all the super helpful videos!

thank you for all your tips and projects, you're awesome and i love the way you make your videos.

I used the leg support technique yesterday. Loved it. Super strong!

I gotta say first off! Thank you steve, I started watching your videos about 5 years ago. I took your advice about getting into woodworking, and its now the biggest passion I have. I now have a decent sized shop, in a commercial suite building in Vermont that was built in 1801 and my shop is full of tools. Though most of them are smaller versions. (I have a delta hybrid table saw, not a cabinet saw). And I agree 100% that you can start woodworking for very little money. But also I think we bothknow that people will spend more over the years. It won't be long until your drooling over a lie nielson jack plane. Hell, even that micro jig, one pf the first nice woodworking accessories ive seen. (From watching your channel) and I still haven't pulled the trigger on that one cause...well...ya know....around $150 for a plastic push block...lol

Thanks, Steve..really missed these type of videos, short , simple, gets you in the shop and working wood!

I came across one of your videos a few days ago and now I'm a binge watcher... Cant get enough!!

Everything looks so easy with all those POWER tools!

Hey Sir Steve. I am follow this method without any equipment. Using only hand tools which is more lengthy but fun process. I use Coconut Lumber because it is only the common wood here in the PH 😅.

I’m never too old or too experienced to watch such a great video. Thank you.

With all the tools so readily accessable, this work looks so fast and easy.. should definitely try out this.. thanks man..

Thanks for the plans. cant wait to learn from the cuts and make interesting joints. I appreciate the thoroughness and attention you give to your plans. I've lived long enough not to want to reinvent the wheel. "I just want to go where experienced people have gone before."

Steve, I love your videos. You make it all look like ANYONE could do this! Thanks for being such a great mentor!

Yeah, he makes it look like that until you realise you don't have a table saw with dado blades, a router, a disc sander, or a random orbital sander! If you don't this simple stool will probably take you days to make.

The most inspirational and concise woodworker I have watched. Great plans without catches or commitments other than to watch the videos. Great business model to not be greedy and ask for external funding and simply attract huge viewings with repeatable projects and professional instructions

Currently coming up with an idea for a learning tower for my daughter, these joins will be really helpful. Thanks mate :)

The "Jenga" shop stool! Nicely done Steve. A neat little future project could be a WWMM sign for your back wall (instead of spray paint lol).

Steve, many years ago i was into woodworking and really enjoyed it. Then for some reason I gave it up, lost interest or just stopped enjoying it. About a year ago I was browsing KZread and came across your videos. They snapped me right back into woodworking and I dusted down my tools and bought some new ones (Ryobi mostly). So for that a big thank you. Your presentation and enthusiasm is infectious. Keep up the good work

Хорошая работа. И материалы хорошие. Видно, что дерево смолистое, крепкое. Молодец!

I found your videos while browsing wood working information. Thank you so much for all the "Basics" information. This has helped me to understand how to use my tools better and the joints video was awesome!!

Awesome project! Super slick! Also, Thanks for sharing your great advice over on Video Creators, I always really appreciate your thoughts and ideas.

Hello Steve! Thanks again for posting so fantastic videos. All of them are easy to understand due to your way of explanations.

This was an enjoyable video, Steve! I know you’ve had a full plate with the weekend woodworker (which is awesome too!) but I really love your regular KZread videos the most. This was refreshing. You’re probably my favorite KZread woodworker.

This is a nice project, like you say, to practice table saw and some mitre saw skills. Thanks.

Men you're encourage me to make lap joints and with your plans I'm making right now a little beat of extra money right here in México, selling stools and some other things, Best regards, and thanks for share your knowledge to all of us, let us hoping to get some money for our really passion... The real woodworking... Or just make us giving some little of our knoledge, for example, im making my first learnig tower ( with lap joints ) just like a little project and ill goes better than I thought now, i'm ready to donate for some families that has nothing... Your knoledge will help a lot of families tha have nothing, thanks for share again!

Thanks for sharing. I can tell you enjoy what you do.

Wish I had a backup life to spend watching your videos and learning more, I started making a floating desk for my home studio using some of your tips. Thanks you

Simple and elegant, just how I like it.

lol re-watching this memorial day weekend 2022. Thanks for the video's Steve! I will be moving into my first house at the end of next week and I am going to start building a woodshop. Love your videos.

Thank you so much for also putting the plans in metric!!

Your videos are such a big help. Thank you very much!

One of my favorite youtube channels. Long way to go as I only do renovation work n really would like to move into woodworking

I just stumbled upon your channel recently and you're a great help man. You rock!

Hotrod Hog Thin just *looks* unhealthy, because we're conditioned to think people are supposed to thicken up as they age. (Of course, it can be a sign of a problem, too.)

This was great, inspiring video. Going to give this a go.

Great basics video, plan to make one for me and my little helpers in the shop. BTW, looking good! Glad you're focused on staying healthy, which means many years of WWMM videos to come for the rest of us

Thanks mate. A table saw is the next big purchase for me in my woodworking journey. From all of the videos I've watched on them I'm excited and also terrified of them.

Amazingly explained. Thak you Steve 😊

Always nice to see a new video in my feed from Steve! Hope all is well In California!

I know this video is fairly old, but I only just now got to a point that I felt I could accomplish the lap joints. No matter how careful, I was off about 1/16 on most cuts so the joints didn't fit perfectly. I used very thin slivers of 2x4 offcuts to fill in as needed, especially around the tenons. I made a round seat (15 1/2") instead of a square using a 50 year old 5/4 piece of pine. I wish my notches had been more precise, but the stool is strong and looks great to anyone else. Thanks!!

Nicely done, Steve, this'll be my next project, but I'll have to get a jig saw to round off the corners, I'm just glad that I have a palm sander and router to finish the rounded edges... I have your plans printed, etc... and it looks great. Thanks again.

Nice job Steve. Always enjoy your videos and easy to follow plans. Happy Memorial Day!

Great video Steve! Can’t wait to make one of these!

My dad taught me this technique he also said it was his strongest. I've tried other ways of joining wood. Nothing absolutely nothing compares. To the strength of this joint. My dad my uncle my grandfather my great grandfather were and are mater carpenters. This joint has been working for over a century in my family.

Ayyy I was just looking for plans to make a stool a few days ago. Good timing Steve!!

Nice job with great explanations--thanks!

Great build, Steve! Definitely might have to give this a shot sometime.

I always forget about half laps and how easy they are to make. Being night shift on a staggered schedule I really never have time for complicated projects anymore. I think if I start using half laps a lot more often (instead of always going all out on dovetails and mortise and tenons) along with other simple joints I can squeeze a little more woodworking into my schedule. Thanks for the video.

Awesome! And I love the 80's step aerobic music in the background. lol

Thanks Steve!

Whaaat a new video finally?! Heck yes! Thanks Steve! Gonna make a few of these~

Fora de série parabéns muito lindo e reforçado passa cera de abelha

Very cool build! I have a lot of extra 2x2's around. Might make some of these when I get time.

Thank you so much for metric plans :)
