Making A Stool Using Half Lap Joins

[@Wordsnwood]

You made some homely construction waste into a thing of beauty, Robin. Really nice how you exposed the lines on all sides

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Thanks Art

Genius move cutting up an LVL like that. Stool looks great mate!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Thanks 👍

[@drmkiwi]

Great idea and execution for the stool as well as to promote "The Shop Stool Podcast". Easily my favourite podcast where I learn a lot about tools, technique and timbers as well as being introduced to a wide variety of interesting and talented makers which all combines to make the podcast inspiring and something I eagerly await each fortnight. Cheers, David

Great build Robyn. Love the shop stool podcast, I look forward to it every other week:)

[@eoingriffin11]

Beautiful piece of work.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Thank you very much!

I think you should have cut the top into strips, glued them back together so you had exposed plywood on the top aswell. I love the end product.

[@ADHDbuilt]

Came out cool :)

[@FixitFingers]

Shop stool plug.... had to be done 😂 The straight grain cutting was great, plus it looks like a solid shop build that will stand up to some abuse.

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Thanks mate. It’s definitely a beast

[@ChrisFranklyn]

I've never met LVL before. So it's essentially like plywood, but with the grain all running the same way? It's an interesting pattern, I like it where you see the layers overlap at the joins within the wood. And you've ended up with a very sturdy looking stool for the shop :)

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Thanks! I think they're made like that because they need to take load in one direction, but plywood can take it from any direction

Как всегда всё СУПЕР 👍🏻

Just a quick question about your drill press. I've been looking for a new bench drill press, and saw the Full boar ones on the Bunnings website, I was going to go with a sherwood but they don't have the Variable speed adjustment which is what caught my attention with the full boar's. How has been your experience withe your's? I know your's is a pedestal one but surely they would be similar.

[@cathybenson5119]

I really liked that timber n I liked the stool. It looked really sturdy. One thing though, your accent has me curious. Are you from New Zealand? You don't have to tell me, like I said I was curious. Have a good one, mate. 👍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘

[@RobinLewisMakes]

It's a South African accent you're hearing, I've only been in Australia 8 years

[@kuffyswoodwork]

That's the most expensive stool I have ever seen given that the LVL offcut was worth about $1,000,000 in the USA at the moment 🤑🤑🤑

[@bobdickweed]

Your sister wants one ,,,for sisters day 2021...get into your shop soon and start making..;-)

[@kuffyswoodwork]

@@bobdickweed Sister's day!!!! There is no such day on my calendar, and there never will be :D

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Haha. We actually talked about it on the show this week, its a crazy time

[@claytonholton905]

Nice work but the wood looked like crap!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That's fair, it's not for everyone

[@MiniLuv-1984]

I regularly make stools...don't look like yours though!

[@RobinLewisMakes]

And hopefully they're not made from wood

[@MiniLuv-1984]
