Keep in mind those stools we made? Yep, they draw. For 10% off your very first purchase, go to:
A couple of months ago, I constructed a set of bar stools, but there was a fatal flaw in the style– the top was too heavy, and the angle caused the seats to break when they tipped over. After repairing them twice, I realized I required to return to the drawing board. In this video, I upgraded the seat and changed the weight circulation to develop a more steady stool. I also try out power carving for the first time to form the new seats. The process was tough, however it taught me an important lesson: woodworking is everything about gaining from your mistakes and attempting brand-new things. Now, the stools are tougher, and I'm excited to continue creating more pieces for my task house, where every piece of furniture is handcrafted with the objective of offering hands-on woodworking experiences to my audiences.

First like and comment! I know it’s going to be good!
Nope, I’m first! 😊
Let Gibson know of your solution. 🙂
ha! no scarf joints on a Les Paul?!
That was my first thought as well! The only difference is that Gibson isn’t going to bother redesigning their headstock.
ouch 😬
Love the blessing – Father Dave covering all the bases, because a little extra security never goes wrong, eh? lol.
Did you write a new track? I don’t recall hearing that music before, it’s nice
Would there be any benefit in rotating the seat base by 90 degrees, so the grain runs front to back? It would remove the weak line going across the wood. Or does it then look odd? I’m trying to think whether I have seen seats with grain running front to back.
@@dragularum that was my first thought. It reminded me f the many Gibson guitar headstocks I’ve repaired.
@@dragularum yes, you’re right. Indeed, most chair seats you see the grain runs front to back.
I came here to say the same thing. I thought it was odd to have the grain running side to side towards a corner joint like that.
I was thinking the same. You’d have to fasten it to the base differently to allow for wood movement, but that’s it. You could even build up the back the same way.
Although the altered design probably addresses the problem, I agree that running the grain front to back would really improve the strength of the seat and back. I greatly prefer the look of the new seat and would work just as well with the different grain orientation. Really like the addition of the bottom stretchers. They should also help resist racking side to side.
Nice fix!! I actually like the new design more but thats how we learn
The music in the first couple minutes of the video reminds me of Numb by U2. I haven’t heard anyone else use that yet. Pretty cool 😎
I make all my own music. 😁
@@MakeSomething awesome! I really like it!
I want to invent something that when put on the legs of a four legged stool adjusts so it doesn’t rock. Seems all four legged stools rock. Especially on tile.
Maybe use his motto and subtract? One less leg makes a triangle which naturally balances itself.
OR perhaps make the whole thing a bit flexy so it flexes to adapt to slight inconsistencies in the floor?
All just suggestions and possibly not solutions. Best of luck in your venture!
@@mattrinne I like the flexy idea. That’s why folding tables don’t rock. Good idea.
Ah, the Gibson headstock of barstools! I like seeing a return to projects to learn.
Hah, the Les Paul headstock was the first thing I thought as well. 😅
Very nice recuperation of better design I prefer the latest design Good Job!
Really like the new design, the extra weight and I love the bum curves. Also, thanks once more for your honesty and integrity David.
Ah, so the infamous Gibson Headstock problem.
Ha, yep!
Not following what exactly is the problem with the headstock?
@@ac311205 Gibson headstocks are not built with a scarf joint, and have a pretty sharp back bend of 15-18 degrees, and are notoriously susceptible to breaking off in an accidental drop.
Years ago I tripped over the guitar strap of my Les Paul and the headstock immediately broke.
Nice, um, glory shot there at 2:03 😂
1:23 Speaking of bad design…. Why does every planer on the market have their dust port on the outfeed side of the cutter block and so dang close to the bed? Don’t they know we don’t have miles of room for outfeed tables and our boards are going to knock the chip collection port loose 😂😂😂
Right?!!
Beautiful work, Dave!!! 😃
They turned out even better than before! Nicely done!!!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Might be a dumb question, but would changing the grain to run 90 degrees (so back to forward) not have added a bunch more strength instead of side to side?
Great video even though it got me thinking lol
Doesn’t your tailbone hit while sitting? Shouldn’t there be a relief area near the small backrest?
love the redo of the design!
Whoa. Awesome video. So glad you shared this and lead us to consider good vs. poor design.
Thanks for including the footage of the board knocking off your dust collection hose
