I really enjoyed the simplicity, the thought for detail, and the lack of perfection; so refreshing. Im going to have to make these now, but mine will be local bigleaf maple or wild cherry. Thanks for sharing.

this is the kind of project and shop I can relate to. Thanks for the video!

Enjoyed the video. Took me back to the rainy days I would spend on a stool watching my grandfather work on his magical tools creating useful things for the farm. Amazing!

Great video. Have some driftwood branches doing nothing in my yard and will have a go making some stools. Keep making more sawdust. Thanks from the sunny North East Coast, England.

Really like your idea on a variation for a shavehorse. Great job on the legs and the stool top

Thanks a lot for this project, I learnt a few tricks which is much appreciated, from Sydney, Australia.

Thank you. Excellent step by step video. I’ve been thinking about making some and you’ve inspired me to get on with it. Love your shop because it looks like most real shops and i appreciate the authenticity. Cheers from UK

Great Job, James! I can tell it is a solid stool to sit on. I like how you put wedges in the legs to make it last. Thanks for Sharing.

Thank you for the video! I enjoyed your clever techniques and handy carpentry. I am going to go make a stool now, thanks to you!

Those are really nice stools! Thanks for sharing!

14:45 it looks like a giant button. Thanks for sharing, cant wait to make my own stool this winter

James, when I build a 3-legged stool, I add a faux (wooden) 3-teated cow udder just for kicks - a so-called milk stool.

Good video, great tip on the orientation of the wedges. Thanks.

Very good. I'm Brazilian, Thank you.

Great video thanks for taking the time to share. It's the first time I ever seen that hand held mortice giant pencil eraser it looks like something Flash Gordon would use on the bad guys.

Great video. But yet another reason to buy tools that I don't have. This is a good thing.

Thanks for the great video. Nice project!

Excellent video. Thank you for posting.

James, Great video and really nice how it turned out. I have a lot of tools also and liked the jig you made to hold the logs for draw knifing and tenon cutting. One other option is to build yourself a shave horse to hold your wood, but you would need to cut your leg lengths first, then take each piece to a shavehorse to debark, shape, and cut the tenon.

Thanks for sharing your background! Hope you are enjoying the games =) from Toronto, Canada

Awesome video with great tips and techniques.thanks for sharing.

That's the most terrifying drill bit I've ever seen

Thanks for Your video, like it very much - made me buy tenon cutters and countersink bits at Lumberjack. Greetings from Finland, next summer will be woodworking summer! Merry Xmas

love these projects! It turned out Very nice!

Thank you for the great work.

James, you might be interested in a new tool called a Cylinder Mill. It does some of the things you are doing on here. Great stool by the way. I'll have to try my hand at one of these.

Great video! Love the results!

Great demonstration, thanks for sharing...

real nice work & well explained - 'turned out Great now I know how to cut the bottoms of the legs so they fit flat against the floor, 'thanks

Thanks for the videos Mr. Wegner

I love your log clamping jig great ideal!

The accented knot is a nice touch.

Lovely stool, great project 👍

wow, that turned out great!! a slight chamfer/bevel on the bottom edge of the legs may help prevent tiny chunks of wood from splitting off the edge when the stool is slid around but like i said, great result

Very cool!!! thanks so much for posting.

you work very well, old man!

*You are the Bob Ross of carpentry*

Nice job, very informative, a pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing. M.

You are awesome!!! Thank you so much for a great quality video!!!!

Great stool. Look lovey. Enjoyed the video too.

Great vid. Great Stool. Thanks for the upload, very inspiring (gonna have a go at this one) Happy New Year ! By the way, if you're looking for the remote control. Its under the coffee table !!Happy days.

Good looking stool!

i like the music he plays while making them

nice stool. nice video . I learned alot. subscribed.

James te quedo hermoso, me encanto

Very nice, well done and keep up the good work.

Wanted to mention that the tenon cutter's blade needs sharpening, good woodworking.

enjoy your video! thanks for sharing!!

Great project

Looks beautiful Of course, the forest can still be seen in the stool. I would have left the glue off. Drilling that with the wood around the angle is a good idea. Have you ever tried to use a wooden thread? I would like to see if it holds up well.

I really enjoyed watching this vid. I've subscribed too.

Very nice. Thank-you.

Back in the day we called them milking stools. Nice job.

Belíssimo trabalho!

Great Wood working sir......

I always use my angle grinder to de bark just my personal preference.

Thank you very much.

Are you holding the pull knife upside-down? Or is it a special kind. Thanks for sharing the video, great fun watching. Cheers from Holland.

Hi James, loved your video, and would love to make some of these, I really enjoy making stuff with no nails or screws...:) What is the name of the 'giant pencil sharpener' bit you used to shape the tenon on the legs please? Are these available, or did you machine it yourself? Very handy... Thanks for the Vid!

this will help me, make my mother one. thank u so much lol

Ótimo trabalho, criatividade e arte, parabéns. Mas me parece que é um pouco difícil se movimentar na sua oficina, não é não?.

Growing up in the northeast of England a three-legged stool was a 'cracket' (it's not in my dictionary). A local insult about another man was "he couldn't make a cracket".

Hi James, very well elaborated video. I'm Dev from Mauritius. want to ask you from where can i buy those drilling tools?

I sure would appreciate your opinion of the Ridgid planer. Thanks.

Great job.Thank you for your wisdom.Please tell me who wrote the music or the the name of the song.Thank you again and God bless.

Very nice!

That is really nice.

Hi James I really enjoyed the video thanks , could you please say what the 45 degree tenon cutter tool is please and the bit you used for 45 degree countersinking . Thanks

Did you make the coffee table too? Great video!

Thanks: I learned a lot.

I need that to sharpen those silly flat pencils!

GOOD IDEA, THIRSTY!

What did you use to cut the tips of the legs off after you put wedges in?! Wish that part was shown. I'm guessing a Dremel or something as not to cut the surface of stool and to get nice and flush. Thank you

Very nice

Nice . think I would stain a little to match the coffee table tho...

i like it.very nice

Nice video. Keep doing it. You inspire young folks like me at the beginning of my journey in the wood craft world. This table of yours...it keeps moving all the time while you work...can't you fix it somehow? :):):):):):):):):)

Where did you get the countersink bit for recessing the legs in the top? The drill bit that is in your drill press. I have looked everywhere and can't find it. You did a great job and I will re-watch this as I am going to make some too.

Cool James ;-)

Nice "milking stools"!

thanks

hello where do you get the 45 degree bit for log mortises? 3 legged stool. thanks

  Hello!Great job!Very need such a nozzle on the drill,in order to make the spike,you can tell whether you want?thanks!

Nice woodwork Sir. Where can I find that crazy sharpener?

Hi, I knew about your channel thanks to Carl Jacobson. Is it the same method to make a 4 legged stool?

can you do this with green freshly cut wood? I have a small timber lot with maples and birch and my son is starting to show a serious interest in simple woodworking with his hatchet from felling and limbing trees to making wooden wedges and mauls etc. I think he would love to make this stool for his workbench he is 7

Nice! Thanks

I live in a state where it is hard to get logs. I can't find them on the internet already cut. Is there a place I can order small dried logs? I've seen them before in the past on tv where people had them shipped. Can you help.

lindo trabalho

To assemble the finished product, in reverse order, put the C-leg in the C-hole, put the B-leg in the B-hole, and put the A-leg in the A-hole. Enjoyed your video.

Hi great video, can you please tell what the attachment is called that's attached to the drill, and where can I buy one. Thanks!

Really ist so nice

Great video a lot of good information what do you call the 45 degree bit and where can I find one thanks

i like it thank you 👍🏻

I heard that people that made charcoal the old way in dirt mounds use to only be aloud to sit only on a one leg stool so they wouldn't fall asleep on the job, if you didn't constantly watch the coal mounds... they could turn into a raging inferno!

i found stripping bark is better done in the spring when the sap is rising, also what about using a shaving horse

"basically a giant pencil sharpener.." hahaha

bravo!!!!!!

What song is this?

Awesome music
