TSW_Tripod Stool-Short

|

Updated Sat Sep 25 2021

A simple to make tripod stool 300mm tall plus thickness of stock. The seat diameter is 300mm. I'm using this project to finally learn how to use my almost 1 year old SO, so I think this project is perfect for beginners. Each files are saved separately so that you can take advantage of scrap pieces of plywood that you may have lying around your garage. The stock I'm using for this project is 18mm birch plywood with 1/4" diameter upcut bit. you will also need 5/16" dowel.
