I had a small stool growing up that got moved around the house as needed. I decided to make one for my little cousin, who just turned two. I bought a couple of oak craft panels at Lowe's to save time, as mentioned in my other post. I have found these to be square and flat, which is a big help.
I cut out the top first, the width of the panel and about 16" long. I then rounded the corners on the band saw. I find aeresol cans to make for a nice radius.
I didn't want the legs to just be square to the top and look plain so I angled them out a little. I just guessed here, as the angle guage on my table saw was gone long before it became mine. After cutting I checked it to be about 79 degrees. Cut the first edge, and then cut to width, positioning as shown so the angles match. I cut mine to 6 3/4"
I then printed out a letter to cut out on the scroll saw. Posisioned and glued on with spray adhesive.
Cut out and ready to begin assembly. More to come next week.
