Well done, son of boban. girls should always do the dishes. they are genetically predisposed to have shorter feet than boys so they can stand closer to the sink.

Oh and i nearly forgot to mention, well done on a nice looking project

Nice job

Hmmm! well done. Good to see that you are thinking of your sister.

Nice stool you've built there, Son of Boban. Have you decided how to finish it yet?

cheers

Great stuff SOB, very nice stool indeed. Your sister should be very pleased

I sympathise with the fact that you have to work with amatures, tell Dad to use the flash!

That's a good project Son of Boban. Congratulations on actually finishing a project.
A hint, though: do not let your mother or your sister think you enjoy working in the shed. They must be allowed to believe that it is something you do as a special favour, just for them. The same applies to any member of the female species that you may meet. Welcome to the fraternity of male woodworkers.

Youre not wrong. We actually had a blackout and it was rather dark in that shed. The boys ripped into that stool with some vigour. So much harder with hand tools though. It took us about two hours to finish it. I reckon I could of done it in 10 mins tops with real tools.

Best of all they loved it. Cheaper than taking them bowling tonight - $100 :eek: The timber was all offcuts.

Can you imagine what she will be saying in 15 years time if she becomes a feminazi. Here's a picture of the end product in use by the eager recipient.

son of boban..........very nice job. I enjoy seeing children getting enjoyment out of wood working. My kids have a lot of fun in the shop.

Looks like a happy bunch all round!
Excellent work SOB

Nice solid looking stool, and it works too. What about making a couple more, and you can use them for foot rests/TV tables? A bit bigger, and you've got a bench to sit on.

Strong work dude! all the better if your sister does all the dishes now on!

Quite literally working on the dark side! :eek:

Nice work Mitch - I seem to remember seeing this during my recent flying visit.

Cheers

top looking stool, look forward to see what you make next
