Members Double U Leather Posted May 20, 2009 Members Report Posted May 20, 2009 Here's the first three legged stool. Thanks to UK Ray for the tri-bolts. I shold have drilled the holes further down the legs, but oh well. It's really a stool I didn't want to build. It's for my son who is a high school calf roper. He was winning a ton this season, and ready to go to the High School National Finals. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL in the practice pen, and yesterday he had surgery. The doctors say it will probably be mid November or early December before he can rope calves again. Oh well.....occupational hazard. He's only a sophomore, so he'll still make it. But it does suck for him. Anyway, let me know what you think of the stool. Quote
Contributing Member UKRay Posted May 20, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted May 20, 2009 Nice job! I'm glad the tri-bolts are coming in handy. I like your carving very much. I'm going to have to stitch my next batch of stools - they'll look great with corners like this one.

superchute Posted May 20, 2009 Report Posted May 20, 2009 great job on the stool nice job tooling and nice stiching. bet thay would sell good at the roping for you. sorry to hear about the ACL Russ Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted May 20, 2009 Moderator Report Posted May 20, 2009 Tough deal about the injury. Hopefully the surgery went well and the rehab and PT go well. On the bright side, he'll have a really cool stool to rest that leg on while he heals. I like it.

Members Double U Leather Posted May 21, 2009 Author Members Report Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks for the kind words. I was pretty happy with the way it turned out. As for the surgery, the doc was happy. Tomorrow we start the PT and rehab. He's a tough kid, mentally and physically. He'll be back. Quote
Members Double U Leather Posted May 22, 2009 Author Members Report Posted May 22, 2009 Although this isn't about the stool.........well it kinda is........the first day of rehab was good. They thought he was doing remarkably well two days after surgery. And, the stool will be the ideal height. I thought it was a bit low, and truth be known, the next one will be higher, but for what my son needs it's perfect!!! Quote

Members RichardCollmorgen Posted May 24, 2009 Members Report Posted May 24, 2009 The stool looks great. Sorry to hear about your son. My nephew calf ropes also. We just got back from the Barry Burke in Ardmore. He had tough luck but we got to see some great roping. Quote
