My Grandfather's Shop Stool

[Dave R]

Not sure what took me so long but I finally modeled my grandfather's shop stool. The original is better than 65 years old. Brings back a lot of memories for me when I sit on it.

The original stool in its original paint.

The workbench is a Shaker-style bench I modeled for Fine Woodworking Magazine and the chairs are children's chairs designed by Dieter Gullert

@Dave-R Excellent

Did your Grandad make the stool? That's a great heirloom to have in the family.

Model is on point too. You always use such nice long grain wood textures.

@Rich-O-Brien thank you Rich. I don't know if he made the stool although my guess is he didn't. There is no makers mark on it but the features on the rungs are all the same which indicates to me they were done with a duplicating lathe which he didn't have. An interesting thing about the rungs on the stool is they are all identical and just trimmed to length to fit between the legs.

Classic design and excellent model.
