I made another child size stool on my lathe

[lovemachine]

I made this for a friend of mine, her son is 1.5 years old.
The wood is Aspen, poplar, and walnut.

I have A LOT of hours in this one...

Boy this could go wrong in a hurry...

Nice looking stool....can't say it without giggling...

 

[lovemachine]

I giggled too


I'm thinking about making another one and trying to sell it.

My dad used to build and repair furniturein the winter when construction was slow and did alright, but it's tough to get people to pay for the time you put in.

Very nice work! (From a Retired Trim Carpenter)

 

[drillsgt]

[MattyLite]

Glad I wasn't the only one who laughed at the title at first

Maybe cut back on the high fiber cereal?

Your woodworking skills are pretty good. When you build something, you should just build two. The synergies you get by building two at one time really lowers your man hours per item. Then you can sell it reasonable. You will at least end up with yours for free, most likely much better than free.

[Hoosierdood]

Pfffft.... That's nothing! You should see the stool that I made today. It was a flippin work of art!

I dunno about "pretty good". It's "ok".

You may be too modest, but even ok sells. it's hard to find decent American made furniture at a fair price.

That is really, really nice work! What a nice gift.

You do some very nice work, make sure to sign and date everything, I bought a branding iron from Rockler and hand write the date. I read somewhere about a guy who epoxies a penny to his work, the penny will be from the year the piece was made.
