Making a wood stool influenced by unexpected items. Brought to us by Squarespace. For 10% off your very first purchase, go to:
For me the technique to coming up with special designs is to look for motivation beyond woodworking. I drive past a lovely cement bench everyday and want to utilize that to affect an action stool that'll suit our living-room decoration. Inspiration in my woodworking can originate from anywhere and I attempt to constantly be open to aesthetically taking in shapes and angles I can use in my work.

Turns out very unique and very cool design. It’s okay to get ideas from others and other things. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. Make something. God bless.
Started watching this channel a few years back, it got me into woodworking. Cheers!
Love the shape, awesome build! Those angles look tricky to pull off. It’s Awesome!
Glad you were able to help out Wally! That walnut looks great finished.
The first rule about Stealing Inspiration is we do not talk about Stealing Inspiration. The SECOND rule about Stealing Inspiration is we DO NOT TALK about Stealing Inspiration!!!
A very wholesome project for a very good boy. 🤗🐶😎👍
Ha! I see what you did there! 😉
David (and team) this is one of your better videos for many reasons; the inspiration both physical and K9, a GREAT wood find and last but certainly NOT least, fixing and overcoming design thoughts/challenges.
Have a GREAT Holiday Season! !! !!!
When you were looking for that angle of the bevel to square the top and bottom of the base, instead of juggling the miter gauge on top you could use that angle gauge against the side and the top of your flat surface it should of given you the same angle without having to juggle it on the corner of the piece. Great project though I may have to make one myself
I definitely overcomplicated that! Ha!
Thanks for showing us all the steps. Love the inspiration. And the problem solving.
Love your honesty in showing your mistakes…we all make em
Great film. The step is groovy looking. Love the pattern. Agree inspiration is everywhere. We just have to observe. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Great looking bench. That was such a steal on that wood!
Maybe the first time I’ve legitimately laughed out loud watching one your videos. (Many internal laughs out quiet, though.) The concrete brick section was just masterful comedy + problem solving.
David, you’re a reckless man…but in a fun & entertaining way. Let the mistakes fall where they may.
I think this is one of my favorite projects that you have done.
This is awesome, love the practical nature of this project. Also found it inspirational that material can be found elsewhere.
I have enjoyed watching your shop arsenal grow and change. Your current collection of stationery tools is impressive. Love the Festool mitre saw. I do miss the brightly colored walls that used to conceal your storage but the black feau bricks are cool
Really beautiful work, Dave! Fantastic looking step! 😃
But yeah, air is necessary… So is food and water. But the rest, the unnecessary stuff, is what makes life fun! 😊
(Sorry, I just got back from a trip to a really beautiful city here in Brazil, so I’m inspired. 😬)
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Finding inspiration in everything we see is always cool. The vertical grain was definitely the right choice it looks great.
You’re a lot of fun, my friend! I really appreciate your warm humanity as well as your great tips and techniques.
A hearty heartwood project! Thank you for doing what you love and sharing it with us, it is a true joy to watch!
