Pattern For 3-Legged Stool

[K-Man]

Wood & Faulk has a great tutorial for making a 3 legged camp stool with a very clever way connecting the 3 legs.

I hope this helps

Thanks so much for that link. That's exactly what I was looking for with respect to making the legs.

I have some of these that my Mom made back in the 50's or early 60's. The swivel is made from a couple of triangular leather pieces that have been sewn together, and have3 holes in them for each of the legs to pass through. They are kept in place by tiny brass brads, one into each leg through the leather.. The seat has a pocket in each corner that the tapered leg fits into. A very simple design.

Love it. I think I would use pockets on the seat so I wouldnt need to carry the legs, just find some when I get to camp

I love it. Will have to make one. I was thinking of using harness leather for the seat. What weight leather would you all use, would have to support 250lbs.

Thanks for the pattern

I personally use only 12 to 13 oz. and I don't secure it on the top with screws (too much risk of breakage due to stresses). Instead, I use the old styled cup method where the tops of the legs are tucked into the cup on the bottom of the seat. That is the way that they were originally made way back and I still have the one I received as a gift 42 years ago, and it still works just the same now as it did then (I just can't use it anymore is all). If you are looking to decorate it (stamp/carve & tool) then you will need to use veg-tan though.
