Joels Saw Stool Adventure

Had to make a saw stool using pine. Tools that I used were :

Bench Hook- To cut pine on bench while holding it against the block
Mallet- To hit the back of the chisel with
Chisel- To chisel out grooves and bevels and rebate
Folding Rule- For measuring
Combination Square- Used to check the square and marking gauge
Sliding Bevel- To get my angles
Drawing Pencil- For marking the timber
Marking Gauge- For drawing my lines parallel to the timber
Planer- For taking of the aris


Before we could start on our saw stool we had to do a practice using just 2 legs, which prepared me for the real thing.
Learnt plenty doing the saw stool especially how to do angles and chisel correctly without making a mess of the timber. Alot of sanding was also involved.
Im still going on the saw stool but will update you about the finishing product.
