In this video I turn some fallen trees into something useful, a bar stool! Why pay big bucks for rustic furniture when you can build your own? This is Part 16 of my Cabin Fixer Upper series.

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.

@lmjohnsono Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@doreen3737 Год назад

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 Год назад

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

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

@sylviajones4907 Год назад

Heartfelt condolences to you. Very difficult to do.

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 Год назад

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.

@MrSpaceace1999 Год назад

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… 😊

@SherBear88 Год назад

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 Год назад

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

@rickbartley9255 Год назад

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.

Great tip. Thanks! SP

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.

@terrybradley3649 Год назад

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. ♥️♥️♥️

@davesimmons8640 Год назад

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!

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!

@lkiraly58 Год назад

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

@crazgirl80 Год назад

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

@loisaustin6200 Год назад

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.

@normamccafferty3053 Год назад

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!

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.

@caroletomlinson5480 Год назад

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

@SlimPotatohead Год назад

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

@debbieomalley3451 Год назад

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

@bikingal4283 Год назад

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....

@keen1957 Год назад

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

@mykirbs2002 Год назад

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.

@Snowzeus Год назад

Just a thought. You’re having a beer at the railing. Maybe a live edge plank could go on the top of the railing on the porch so you can eat dinner or lunch or have another beer.

@LloydMayes Год назад

Great job on the stool, love it

@donreinholz8121 Год назад

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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

@vernford8215 Год назад

Hey there Slim, don't know if you've ever heard of Roy Underhill or his series The Woodwrights Shop,also his books on colonial Era woodworking methods, tools and projects. A very fascinating, informative and entertaining gentleman that I've found to be an excellent resource. Someone worth checking out, I think you would enjoy him.

@herblapp6134 Год назад

I second this suggestion. Roy only uses handbooks...mostly antiques from the 19th century. But your use of the electric saw and power drill are fine. I.used to make Windsor chairs which are stick chairs. Nice job Pal !!👍👍

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.....

@mskraftee5252 Год назад

Awesome stool, Slim. As for the “Brunswick Pigeons” you forgot to mention one thing - actually two things. One is they make a mess! They get up on my deck railing to eat from my songbird feeders and it becomes poop city on the decking. The second thing is, if you feed them too often, they will call all their buddies. One winter I was feeding about 20 turkeys daily because the snow was crusted over. In no time at all, I had a rafter of about 80-100 hanging around. If they saw me in the window, they would come running! I had to stop feeding them.

@SlimPotatohead Год назад

I guess they thought it was the poop deck!

@mskraftee5252 Год назад

@lindaroyal8161 Год назад

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!

@joeburkeson8946 Год назад
