My Wood Stool Project: Slim's Rustic Cabin Ideas

[@wthurman5910]

Beautiful functional stool. Great job 👍🙏❤️☕

[@paulsccna2964]

There is something of deep value, of creating something from our imagination and making a useful item. Good job.

[@M.Campbell]

It's going to be a good day. Woke up, fed the cats, got coffee, and discovered Slim's video waiting for me. Yep. A good start to the day indeed.

[@MrSpaceace1999]

I consider myself a complete amateur at woodworking but you know what, each little project I do I get satisfaction from , and they look good in my eyes… 😊

[@keen1957]

Very nice stool. Natures seat to watch your feathered friends.

[@12ar34sw]

I like your new stool. It is finer than anything you can buy in a store.

[@doreen3737]

Good morning Slim, Your video came at the perfect time. I always enjoy watching you, a beautiful distraction from reality I'm putting my kitty down today so it's been a really rough week I know I'm doing the right thing compassionate and humane but still very sad 🥺 Thank you for sharing your life with us and being such a beautiful soul 😇

[@SlimPotatohead]

So sorry for your loss Doreen. May you cherish your fond moments forever. SP

[@suerop]

Doreen, I'm so sad about you losing your beloved fur baby. Tonight there is a New Star shining up in our sky. 💗💓💕 🌟🌠⭐ 💔💔💔

[@sylviajones4907]

Heartfelt condolences to you. Very difficult to do.

[@Kathiewinkle]

Having lost 2 kitties in the last 6 months, I understand your pain. I remember the many cherished memories in the 16.5 years. RIP dear souls

[@bonriver9420]

So sorry for the loss of your beloved kitty. I have been there and it is very difficult. May the wonderful memories you made together bring you comfort.

[@hansostlund4626]

dear sir mr canadien, you have a heart of gold, not so common is this life… sorry to say

[@hansostlund4626]

love your videos, noone beats them

[@ndautomotive]

I like your 'nothing goes to waste' way of thinking. Also, cool neighbors you have there. Cheers!

[@donnasnorthernlights2089]

My GPA and dad owned a lumber and milling business. I love the smell of fresh cut wood. Enjoy!!!

[@originalsixx]

Thanks for the video, Slim. I loved the footage of you feeding the turkeys! We feed the turkeys and deer too. We have 12 deer that come every evening right at dusk. It's nice watching them. Love the stool too. Take care.

[@normamccafferty3053]

That view from your finished stool! So pretty! Nice work on the stool. You’re right- that Danish Oil brightens the wood in a lovely way!

[@ginacardarella]

such an enjoyment To watch you With my Saturday morning coffee especially the turkeys and I always love your building Thank you

[@Onemattressatatime]

Building your own furniture is my dream. We love the channel and always safe and healthy travels

[@joeburkeson8946]

It's not just a stool, it's a lifestyle. Thanks.

[@TheWestlandgirl]

Wow! Those Turkeys are gorgeous. Sweeeeet!

[@davesimmons8640]

As a Native Texan, I'd never heard of "frost heave," and had no idea what it is. It makes sense that frost would make the ground swell, it'd just never occurred to me. I've never lived anywhere that gets that cold. You never know what you'll learn from Ol' Slim!

[@lmjohnsono]

The seat being a touch moist actually works in your favor, it'll shrink around the leg holes and give you a super tight fit. I learned a lot from Rex Kruger's hand tool woodworking channel.

[@questioner1596]

As long as it doesn't shrink so far that the legs cause the top to crack.

[@richardthomas1743]

HEY!! Good morning Slim! I always look forward to your videos and your words of wisdom! Thank you for taking us along!

[@starbubbli]

Well done Slim! It's natural & beautiful 😍, look forward to more of your woodworking & beautiful view, peace & quiet! Thanks for sharing!

[@EM-mi5yj]

Slim you have such a great sense of humor and you’re so talented. Your cabin in the woods is coming along great. I always look forward to your videos.

[@rrhopewell]

I love that stool and the rustic look.

[@onlyvistarick3607]

Have a good day!❤

[@catpurrson3651]

A most excellent use of materials. And functional to boot. I loved the sounds the New Brunswick pigeons (teehee) made.

[@alanjones9149]

It's so nice to see Slim Whittlin'. 😏

[@vonrollveeg]

The one thing I learned from my travels has been "enjoy it while you can".

[@joannsilva4715]

Tator so clever & creative! Love the rustic look! Perfect for your deck!

[@nixhixx]

Nice stool. SO GLAD you finished the deck.

[@follybeachprepper]

Great job Slim!! Looks great out on your beautiful deck ! Stay Safe Everyone !!!

[@dottie2884]

Great job on the stool ! Loved it.. Slim you are a man with so many talents... Amazing, feeding the turkeys...Love watching wild life and listening to Nature...Have a great weekend!!

[@SherBear88]

Good morning Slim!! That was a great shot of the turkeys! I really enjoy your videos it reminds me of working with my dad. He could build, repair or fix ANYTHING and I was always right there with him. The last thing we did together before he passed away, was change the faucet in our family bathroom. Thanks for all the great videos you post..

[@wanderingrenegade771]

About to do this with my son on Sunday,ty for the reminder he actually wants to do it and suggested it.

[@joansrvadventures6112]

Love your new stool. "Perfect" looks manufactured. Nothing more charming than a handmade item.

[@funzeevanzee]

Great chair. Your property is coming along and looks wonderful. Cheers.

[@snpnishanth9905]

Happy pongal... India Tamil Nadu State pongal festival... Nice...

[@lindaroyal8161]

I agree with everyone else about finishing the deck, just makes more sense You can set the canoe on the ground just in front of the deck, it will still look nice with the same design plan. And....if you use the canoe for a planter, you'd want drain holes in it and don't think I'd want it draining on the deck. Then later, if you put a roof over the deck the canoe will already be on the ground taking advantage of rain, less watering on your part. Love the stool, I really like the slight indent in the top, it's a super handy little stool. Hope you don't leave it out in the weather. The cedar siding looks really good and coming along with the dry wall, it's getting there!

[@bikingal4283]

your cabin has such personality and is going to be one of a kind... everything you've done has been from the heart and it shows.. the warmth is truly mesmerizing... the stove, the stool, the porch, the loft.. just wonderful to see someone who is so industrious really enjoying the fruits of his hard work... speaking of that... don't you ever take a break??? you seem like you prefer not sitting still.. and like you said taking care of yourself...a break and a nice cold beer should do the trick...thank you for the new vid, wondering now what's next....

[@crazgirl80]

I love the stool, you should make at least 4 . The look is perfect for the cabin.

[@contrafax]

That was really fun to watch. Good use of found materials!!! Waste not want not.

[@plove523]

Brings back sweet memories of wood shavings and stain while I helped my pop make stools, benches and tables during the winter.

[@debbieomalley3451]

I love your stool. It is beautiful. You are so creative Slim. Enjoy your videos and look forward to every new one!!!

[@mykirbs2002]

Although I like your camping and travel videos, I’m really enjoying the cabin build videos a lot! It’s coming along nicely. I also like that it’s rustic and that you use what you have on hand! Well done.

[@Kenbur]

Love your "pigeons" Slim and so glad they are nice enough to reciprocate a "treat"

[@bypinkerton892]

In my mideastern big city - we have our Wild Turkeys wandering around too.... They are Protected & usually roam in 3's.... I enjoy seeing them.....

[@LloydMayes]

Great job on the stool, love it

[@TXPossum]

Slim, we just love your videos. You're so thoughtful and all your projects seem so well executed. You are a constant source of entertainment and admiration, and we always look forward to your artfully done videos. And what an eye for nature shots. Excellent job, my friend! Thanks so much from Austin, Texas.

[@paulr.3220]

After following you for about five years it's getting hard to be surprised at your resourcefulness but still fun none the less. Here in the Quiet Corner of Connecticut we have the states largest state forest called the Pachaug State Forest where we have Pachaug Pidgeons. Close cousins to the New Brunswick Pidgeons. You da man Slim!

[@pepsiisme1]

Love the lay of the land and the view

[@RossEphgrave]

For some weird feeling I've always felt ash is among the best woods to apply finish to. Looks awesome Slim! Pls film some storm footage to show us later. Take care and stay safe.

[@lkiraly58]

Nice job! I enjoyed watching you create such a useful, rustic stool. Your woodworking talent is certainly not going to waste.

[@ChrisBooBoo]

Such a nice little project on a day when there’s nothing to do.

[@loisaustin6200]

Good job, your cabin keeps looking better and better. It is going to be a great getaway place once everything is finished. You do a good job on all your projects and always seem to know exactly what to do and how to do it. I enjoy watching, thanks for sharing.

[@susans7091]

Lucky turkeys! Cool stool for pigeon beer:) I hated putting up drywall also.

[@katzcrow640]

Love It..🌿💕🌿 Enjoy the Beer 🍻 Cheers you deserve it...👍

[@NarleyAdventures]

👍👍👍👍👍😀, The stool came out great IMO !!!

[@ellafields9424]

A farriers hoof knife works perfect. There is a left & right hand one. I've peeled bark from dozens of Diamond Willow (from AK) walking staffs. My souvenirs from 1999 summer working in AK.

[@bustermcmahan8493]

Very nicely done Slim! That stool looks great and is functional!!

[@lizsteilkie]

A glass? You must be at home! Thanks for sharing!

[@cachina]

You made my day a little brighter, as unusual. Thanks Slim!

[@pamhutzell8268]

You did a great job ! Cabin is really looking great!

[@areaone3813]

I’ve enjoyed watching you make your stool. 🧹💩🕳. Keep they good times coming my friend. God bless

[@deborahsoffes7402]

Perfect stool for your deck!

[@jimwulstan8592]

For angle drilling with a battery drill it is very easy to make a jig, so that each repeat is exactly the same as the original.

[@williamsimmons8927]

Good Sunday morning stuff Slim, I love the Cabin videos, and I am glad you repaired the porch, might you want to make a detectable table for your, patio railing always looking forward to your next adventure.

[@Ritterkritterz]

Make another short stool. This would be good for starting fires. We have one in front of our fireplace -very handy.

[@terrybradley3649]

I used to make coffee tables, end tables, stools & benches just like your stool with developmentally disabled in Michigan, we bought the Bay City Bridge. The pilings were massive. I can’t remember what kind of wood the pilings were. They were so beautiful! We sold them to the public. The clients were employed by the company. It was their joy to work with wood and earn money at the same time. Great job on your stool! I loved it! Love to see more videos like this one. ♥️♥️♥️

[@eutimiochavez415]

That’s cool that u have wild turkeys thank u

[@caroletomlinson5480]

Very neat. But, I was looking forward to seeing how you level the bottom of those legs. Lovely color of wood stain. Thanks!

[@SlimPotatohead]

Sorry Carole, the video was getting too long! I just used the reciprocating saw and tried it on a flat surface, then fine tuned with a rasp until it stopped rocking. Thanks! SP

[@bobmanzi7712]

the stool looks perfect . great stuff thanks

[@MapleMarmite]

You said it’s not perfect but being imperfect is what makes that kind of item, well, perfect! Nicely done. 👍🏻

[@roysimonetti4845]

Good Day Slim, LOVE ALL of your KZbin videos. My FAVORITE KZbinr .

[@2bczar4u]

Wild Turkey Surprise!

[@josephpotterf9459]

Thanks your stool turned out nice and the cabin is coming along as well .

[@jlions72]

Enjoy all your videos Slim ,..good job sir

[@jasonwilliamson8346]

Good morning slim

[@SlimPotatohead]

Good Morning Jason!

[@papajon62]

Nice bar stool, don’t drink too many cold ones and fall off of it! Tie down straps are a must have tool. I used mine to hold together a tongue and groove door I was gluing.

[@donreinholz8121]

Always look forward to your cabin update videos and camper heater installation too Slim. A round disc sander would have worked good for shaping the stool legs to size. Great job Slim!

[@richardmattingly7000]

The heaving is likely because of the retaining wall allows some snow to build up against it and when melting the water wicks into the soil which traps it. That little extra snow which mounds up directly against it naturally holds more moisture and the heaving likely depends on how much is there even be less when there's snow doesn't collect as much. Indeed its like a shoveled sidewalk with snow heaped up along its edges versus that beyond it since it will melt before the mounds do and on a slope the outside wall gets some from runoff too. Keeping it clear should help but the wall is a dam and it should be more of a nuisance as long as the wall isn't lifting as well. Kudos on the stool and the ratchet straps are ideal because they also act as what are called web clamps which apply pressure because the conformed to the legs. Good thing Slim doesn't eat meat because his breakfast guest might be on his plate instead of up just visiting and not feeding them every day to intermittently is best.

[@ejp9921]

That was definitely a fun video & with wonderful results.

[@magalirodriguez7830]

You sir are so special! So resourceful and smart it’s such a breath of fresh air watching your video!

[@uweschroeder]

I made quite some furniture in our house myself - from couch table to bathroom mirrors. A bit more refined than that stool but I do have the tools to do it. It's fun making things and you enjoy them for years to come. Once you'll be too old to do stuff like that but then you still remember. I love making things. It's so satisfying.

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

Nice job on the stool looks great.

[@rodbagley1686]

Love the new stool. Now you got me thinking of trying something like that myself. I live in the ash woods in Ohio. Most if not all the ash trees have died from the ash boring Beatles. I burn most of it but a few benches and stools might be in the future. Thanks.

[@SlimPotatohead]

I've never heard The Beatles as boring. Guess I'm a little old fashioned! SP

[@rickbartley9255]

Nice rustic stool Slim. Great finished product! The next time you're drilling holes for stool or chair legs, you might like to try drilling your angled hole in a small scrap board for a template. You can mark it's orientation and move it from corner to corner for your bit to follow through for each hole.

[@SlimPotatohead]

Great tip. Thanks! SP

[@jeanmartin6410]

The thing about working with wood? You have to take your time. Wood just refuses to be rushed. I never work with wood unless I have LOTS AND LOTS of time.

[@robertphillips3893]

Good job. I used to build furniture for a living and I am impressed with how well your stool turned out.

Thats really cool!! Loved the stool and love the siding!!
