Bar Stool
Making a cheap barstool from radiata pine
Step 1: Producing Back Support
•This step, I ran 190x19mm wood through the thicknesser, and cut it to size with the drop saw. I then used the spindle sander to sand out the decorative features on both sides of the back rest.

Step 2: Seat Production
•Using a pre-laminated 500x19mm piece of wood, I angled the back to 400mm and using the jigsaw, I cut out the back join.

Step 3: Leg Production
•Using two 800x45x45mm lengths of pine, and two 460x35x35 supports, I used the biscuit joiner to join the supports to the legs and clamped it together to dry.

Step 4: Kegg Screwing
•I sourced two more identical supports and used the kegg screwing machine to drill various holes that would support screws that were to hold the seat and back leg in place.

Step 5: Adding Supports to Legs
•Using more Biscuit joins, I attached the supports to the front legs. I then clamped and let it dry.

Step 6: Attaching Back Rest
•Using kegg screws in the previously drilled holes, I attached the back leg and clamped it to let it dry.
Step 7: Seat Attachment
•Using the previously drilled kegg screw holes, I attached the seat to the rest of the stool and applied the clamping method shown to let it dry.
Step 8: Final Step (sanding)
•For the final step, I sanded the entire stool for safety and looks purposes.
