The legs I mentioned in the post are for his 2x4 stool. It’s been a fun project. Wish I had a drill press for the holes. The angles are tricky to get free hand

Worked awesome out of the box, then even better after sharpening it. I made a pretty amateur mistake of leaving it on a piece of wood I had just planed. I oiled it before I left for the night, but when I came back in the morning I had the teeny tiniest spots of rust.

I drilled a few practice holes with a forstner bit and a bevel gauge and honestly even the first holes I drilled were pretty dead on and I’m no whiz with the drill. Worst cast scenario you’re out $5 for the 2x4

This is rex kreuger’s 2x4 stool, but I’m pretty sure it’s based off a Christopher schwarz design

It’s all from a single 2x4x8 ($5.50), making it really cheap to attempt. I think it’s really cool to make something that would get regular use like a stool. I’ve got a second one going too and I’m thinking I’m not going to taper it the same way. This taper was really labor intensive and is just underwhelming. Need to figure out other ways to taper staked furniture

After researching the medallion on the handle I found out it’s a 1940s Disston D8 26" 10TPI crosscut saw

I tried to follow the process from this video https://youtu.be/cN8yMAXp54s for the most part. Haven’t done any sharpening on it yet. Still need the tools.

I really like your pan! Where’d you get it and what kind is it?
