new shop stool

[Ajcoholic]

This is a new three point shop stool for me to sit on at work, to eat my lunch, etc. Also, just wanted to try out a new idea, and I had a sheet of 1" Baltic birch I wasnt using...

hey who's the sexy model you have sitting in the chair?

When i first got my bot, someone had posted a 3 legged design like this, what is the stability like? Looks great

Stability is pretty good, but obviously dont lean back and to the side

I wanted a three legged stool as my shop floor is pretty uneven and near impossible to have a level 4 legged stool sit flat.

I needed a new shop stool, that was a little higher (26") and a comfortable seat. I eat mu lunch in the shop every day, and I like to sit at my workbench. This is the perfect fit.

I drew up the files last night watching TV, and cut it out. The 24" by 48" panel with the legs, etc took 9 minutes to cut out. The seat about 20 minutes and another 5 or so to cut out the seats and the pockets that accept the legs and back rest support.

I just threw a coat of danish oil on it (that was contaminated with some black stain I used recently) just to give it some protection.

I love these spur of the moment things - they take so little time relatively speaking. I'd never have cut out this thing the "old" way.... pre CNC that is.

Looks great indeed, but OSHA is watching this thread already

Thats OK... here in ON, Canada it is WSIB. I pay in becuase its the law. But the funny thing is, business owners cant collect!

I will make sure the stool says "for the boss only"..

Andrew,
As nice as that chair is, i don't think it can hold a candle to the designed chair i use which has 3 customizable sitting heights. With just a flip of the wrist i can change the height settings from low, to bot table height, to benchtop height where i can operate the computer.

It even comes with an optional cushion

Now i know that you "think" you are a fancy furniture maker but i doubt that even you could come up with something as customizable and cleaver a design as this.....
Feel free to copy this design....

It's "Jack IN a box" NOT "Jack ON a box"!
