My Tenon Cutter is Now Set Up.

A cedar model of the Leaning Tower of Pisa  :D.  The stool is a good idea, but in its present state, might be a little hard on the buttocks.  You are going to have some real fun with those tools  8).

Just like sawing,you'll learn what blade-bit works the best.

And 'til you master the hole boring, just put three legs in for a stool.  ;)

I think that you have a very workable setup.   8)

I saw a goat standing on cedar fence post once.

That stool should be right at home.

On the subject of cutting tools here, what sort of cutter is used to cut the oval holes in posts that 1" X 6" fence boards slide into? 

[Jim_Rogers]

The correct angle you need is 82° that will be the one we used at the furniture factory I worked at for 10 years. We made thousands of stools with that angle.

A drill press is real handy for drilling those holes in the seat, make a jig to go on top of the drill press table with the required angle that has a centre pin to rotate the top on, set the pin to ½ the required diameter of the leg holes then clamp, drill then spin stool top90° for 4 legs or 120° for three and clamp,drill again.

That's what we used a drill press with a sloped table set to 82° We'd also has a jig that had screw tips up through the bottom to set the seat down onto and rap with a rubber hammer to set the points into the seat bottom where the holes were to be drilled. Marking each seat on custom stuff you could make the jig and set it on top and rap it with a hammer to set the points into your custom shaped seat. That way each stool will have the same or similar leg spacing. Tops could all be different.
I would make the jig and then bore a center hole through it. the find the center of your custom seat blank and line them up.

I hope you can understand what I'm saying. Wooden stools are a very good business to be in.

Nice work on the jig,, that's the first I've seen in live action cutting, they really make quick work, thanks for sharing that,,

[pineywoods]

I cut tenons on a lathe, much more flexible. I built an extension for the lathe bed, handles pieces up to 5 ft long...

[21incher]

Nice job on the jig. Having everything mounted properly makes the job look easy. That stool would make a nice plant stand if you shorten the legs a little. On the cabin builders show the other night  they had a pretty cool tool they were using to make tenons where they just spun the log and it made a nice tenon with no alignment required. It would be pretty cool if you could counterbalance the drill to float to the log center.

I say that I make rustic furniture because I cant make fine furniture. that bench is rustic. the more rustic the better. if anyone asks tell them it is supposed to be like that, you wanted something different than everyone elses.  8)

I think that was intentional as he does not like seeing people comfortably seated.
It's against his whatever........

You're getting there, But I thought you had enough lumber sales to keep busy?

I do Peter......but sometimes my customers will have to wait. I simply refuse to become a slave to my mill. ;D
I have always built and sold benches for Mother's day....so I have customers for that too.
