My channel is primarily about working with sheetmetal, sometimes using wood for jigs and fixtures. I often show techniques that are not widely known, and many of them require only simple tools. I also enjoy communicating with my viewers through the comments, and I'm happy to answer any questions you may have.
Many of the larger caster manufacturers have the 'expanding stem' style. Here's the source I used: shop.servicecaster.com/expanding-stem-casters-s/2035.htm
Of course you could make it from thicker metal, but even with the legs being made from 18-gauge sheetmetal, the boxed design gives it plenty of strength for me.
Beautiful project, but I am not going to lie. When you broke out the Rattle can rather than having it powder coated in proper miller blue I nearly shed a tear.
This is a great demonstration of skills and most importantly, PATIENCE! Even I find myself lacking in that department sometimes. This video is a great reminder to not rush, think it through, fixture stuff, and then get going. Not just shooting from the hip.
The seat in the video is 20 gauge, and it would require two strong mounts on the front edge, and two high on the back to be stable. If you are only mounting the seat on the bottom, I would suggest using 18 gauge.
Hey Ron, is this what we mean by the Made in America !! Because this just looks right and makes people us want to purchase great work from our workforce here in the States! Stay well and great job as always,
They are rated at 16 gauge mild steel. Here's where you can get more information on the dies: www.mittlerbros.com/mittler-bros/punch-flares-punches/automotive.html
This is just so amazing! The project itself, execution, level of attention to details the whole video in jeneral just superb! You always say at the end of each video that you honored that i`m watching. But i`m gona say no, it`s me honored that you sharing this amazing experience. Thank you
I love it but you just made a $400 dust pan 😂 I had to make an edit to my original comment after watching the rest of the video and seeing that handle!! That’s definitely an $800 dust pan 😂 fantastic video sir. I would be incredibly sad to dent and bend that pan 😂
This was such a nice video to watch! Thank you! I very much enjoyed your attention to detail on every aspect. The legs alone were such a beautiful piece.
This is a cool stool! I might steal this design for making my own. I can’t weld, but I could make it out of quality plywood. The amount of time you put in your jig for the base paid off, especially when you can use the same jig for all the additions to the building process. You might want to hang on to that jig if you want to build another stool.
You are more than welcome to use any part of this design for your own stool, and it could be lovely, made from wood. I keep most of my jigs and fixtures, and it's not uncommon that they prove to be useful for a future project!
Just a joy to watch you work mr. Covell. You make everything look so easy. I've said it before but there are so many little gold nuggets of information and clever tricks in your videos. Amazing work, easily the best looking rolling stool I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands, Mark

I can’t it’s been this long since I’ve found your channel on RU-vid Ron. I remember watching your TIG welding videos in welding school back in 2010. You’re truly a master metalworker and instructor. Subscribed
Thanks so much, and I'm very glad to have you on-board as a subscriber! I have over 100 videos on RU-vid, so you may enjoy watching some of the previous ones.
