stormdevil Report post Posted December 15, 2016 (edited) So I've been busy making things for Xmas. Hope my family are happy Please give me feedback on my creations - I'm still a novice. (Hoping for some better tools for Xmas ) I'm not completely happy with the campaign stool top - maybe I was a bit ambitious with the carving and the antiquing didn't work as well as I'd hoped (watched the videos, but maybe the tooling is not up to scratch). I kind of regret leaving the circle natural - but you learn as you go. Got my husband working on the legs, will post a photo when the whole things is done.

stormdevil Report post Posted December 24, 2016 And here's the completed stool with the legs on. It's very difficult to find tribolts in the uk. Tandy ones were too small, since I wanted 30mm legs. I tried to make a tribolt, but it broke as soon as I sat on the stool (ouch). I eventually found one, but relatively expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikermutt07 Report post Posted December 24, 2016 It all looks great. But I gotta ask..... Is that a Batman and The Penguin inspired sporran? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cjartist Report post Posted December 24, 2016 (edited) Looks nice. I'm sure they will be thrilled! I made some using one eye bolt and one straight bolt. I don't think it folds together quite as nice as the tri-bolt but it is a lot cheaper. Edited December 24, 2016 by cjartist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It wasn't meant to be batman and the penguin, though I'll admit it does look like it :-) My son has a "penguin" email address, so we keep giving him things with penguins on. The other part was a flame motif that I put an arrow through, but it now looks like a bat! At least it will be unique. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
