I made a stool out of scraps

This was the inspiration



I figured I could combine scraps of wood and make the side walls.



First I had to make the edges straight (yes, I know I have a cheap arse table saw, but it was free and it works)



Then I combined the pieces with glue, a biscuit joiner, and some time with the clamps.





I used a piece of a coffee maker as a cut out guide.



A jigsaw, router, and a sander were also used. The big pieces were leftover shelf board.



And voila




I also had some casters laying around. It looks skinny, but it rolls around nicely without me feeling like I might tip over. If I had to do it again, I’d probably make the bottom piece about an inch wider than the seat for better stability.

I haven’t decided if I’m going to stain it or just poly it.
