Make a one leg stool in a day
Learn how to make a one leg stool in a day with the Somerset Bodgers.
- Booking essential
In this one day course you will split ash logs, remove sharp edges with an axe and then shave the billet into a cylinder using a draw knife and shave horse. It then goes onto a pole lathe to be fashioned into a single leg. The next stage is to tenon the end of the leg to be inserted into a pre-shaped but not finished seat. The final task is to finish and smooth the seat. A surprisingly useful item where a degree of concentration is required.
Over 16s only.
