So I did get the stool assembled and glued up and everything fit much MUCH easier than I imagined it would. There's just a very slight wobble getting leveled with the floor, no big deal. A little sanding will fix that..
Next step a coat of paint and some padding.
So I'm actually considering doing some charity work, making simple furniture for people either just getting started or people forced to restart their lives from scratch. It's nothing fancy, inexpensive pine construction, but that way I can afford to build things and give them away. I can build people a decent table and four chairs and material cost for all 5 pieces about $30 plus my labor. The material isn't stuff that anyone should expect to last a lifetime, but the construction will be strong, comfortable and durable for what it is. A nice starter set with minimal finishing to help people get on their feet once in awhile. I'm thinking perhaps 3-4 sets per year and if they ever really get on their feet and want me to buiIld them better furniture later on my name and email address will be on every piece..
In case you're wondering, I just can't resist putting stickers on things in inconspicuous places..
