For a woodworking project that’s attractive, useful, and fun to build, it’s hard to beat this three-legged stool. With its scooped, gently triangulated seat, tapered legs, turned stretchers, and flared stance, it can easily find a home in most rooms or shops. In fact, because one stool is rarely enough, this project provides a great opportunity to jig up for small-scale production, as we’ve been doing for some time at Berea College Student Craft.
Making the jigs takes some time, but it pays off in spades. They ensure exacting joinery and enable you to make a set of stools in not much more time than it would take to make one without jigs. It also provides a great gateway into the kind of angled joinery
