Happy Birthday... Maybe ?

Actually Jimmy, just to be helpful [emoji4] I like the square section you have shown, with the triangular brace under the drawer. To my eye at least the round ones look too spindly. Fine perhaps for a consol table, but not for something more substantial. Might tapering the square leg improve it further?

Thanks Roger not sure if it's too heavy... Though the scorching will create a slimming effect. I've tapered the leg but to just one face (side view)

A few catch up shots...


Legs

Initially I made the stool a bit too small imo

So I extended it using the insert (note glass) as a design clue. I drew half the shape on some 3mm ply, hand shaped and used this to template route the maple from.

Taper jig

Buttons...

Stool top

Scorched and ebonised components

Getting closer...

I've a soft, black suede seat to make... Then I'm almost there [emoji847]

I like the rectangular legs much better than the spindle ones, looking very nice.

Looking good

Can't wait!

I like that. Very much in keeping with the rest of the piece. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Here's the seat, now I've only a rough idea of upholstery, if I was being paid I'd probably source it out to a friend ... So feel free to point out any goofs ! (That goes for anything tbf, I can take it [emoji39])

Think it turned out ok, the black line of the seat is very unforgiving, so a subtle bump or two...and the underside is a *bit of a dog's dinner... Almost forgot to knock off the arrises on the seat backer!... The white polyester is to even out and act as a 'lubricant', I believe it's called [emoji848] I stretched the seat and stapled the same way as you'd stretch an art canvas, splitting opposites - iykwim

Using some of the spare suede I've double sided taped it to some art mount before hot melt gluing in.

I can almost smell the finish line... Cheers [emoji482]

That looks like the DB's Jim. Smashing job.
"Mirror, mirror on the wall, why are you in pieces on the floor?" :lol:

 

[DaveL]

That mirror is not too bad, just needs a bit of gaffer tape!
