Guitar Stool (or Workshop!) || How to build

I play guitar to relax in the evenings, but I've been missing a stool to play on for years! Equally as I build out my new workshop, I have machine & tool stations where a seated position is more practical & comfortable.

I designed this stool as I made it, changing the aesthetic, but not the functionality - it was always going to have an angled seating position (15 degrees) as that is a really comfortable, but ergomonic position for my back.

I also experimented with new techniques, new tools & materials!

a) The curve of the seat was fashioned by using my table saw riving knife as a depth stop, and changing the blade heigth to get that bowled position - it worked great!
b) The Arbortech turbo plane is a brand new tool to me, and it will take some practice to refine the finish, but as a start I'm pretty happy with the result!
c) Lastly, Sapele is a new timber to me & I love how it contrasted with the oak! Originally the stool was going to be all oak (and future versions maybe), but my timber merchant had these sapele pieces on sale, so I thought lets give it a try! Word of caution, sapele drinks glue!!!!

I used two coats of Osmo Ployx to finish, after using Sanding Sealer, with a light sanding between coats.

If you're new to my channel please consider subscribing - I'm a custom furniture maker, but I finished building my new 1,500ftsq workshop in January 2019, so I'm really focussed on the shop projects to build capabilty for future client work - would love to have you along for the ride!
