I finished the dozen or so shabby-chic shaker trays (and mentioned here a
little while ago) and gave out two already. Now I'm cobbling together some
more folding stools. It's been about 2 years since I've built any. Here is
where you can see how they are made and get FREE, full sized drawings.

you get used to seeing here but nice for cheap gift.
I just got through cutting out leg and seat batten stock from some 2 by 4
rough, pine packing crating. People that visit my shop or stop by take home
a stool and I gave out my last complete one a week or so ago. I plane down
the 2 x 4(shown below the festive container) to 1 1/2 " then slice them into
3/4" strips for the legs(shown on top.)
