sit down and have a coffee.
These are a little fun project I am doing with my stepson. He and his boss are about to open a new coffee shop/bar in Surry Hills and I will be making some of the bits and pieces for it. The stools/seats have button shaped tops which I will do on the lathe. The first one was a piece of Queensland Maple. The bottoms are just 17mm CD ply, cheap and efective. I missed one photo where one is slotted from the top down and the other from the bottom up. Just push the two together with a drisel of glue, dowl down the top and done. I stained the ply up with some Baltic varnish/stain and a little Black Japan, they have to look a little grungy to be cool. I threaded a bit of leather thong through the holes to ad to the effect, with a loose tag or two as well. My nephew took the photo of me with my father (Lump Hama) also have a few other projects for these guys so will have some unusual things to come

That's very good of you to pass your stools on to your step son.

I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.
Regards, Woodwould.

I like you thought process Ray but the chances of getting others involved with my projects is very slim. Getting someone to make a cup of tea is tricky around here
Yes a GTG could be good, I have a heap of work to do at Anandale coffee shop also, a bench, revolving book/fire place (like you saw in the movies when you were a kid) and a whole wall bookshelf with a concealed door where you have to pull a book with a suitable title to gain access to the loo I have a lot of fun stuff comming up. If I get into Sculptures by the Sea next week all hell is going to break loose

Yes Ray, it does have a step but I'm sure I could knock up a quick trap door or draw bridge to get you in
