I can't find it online anymore but I printed the plans years ago. A wooden staff that breaks down into 3 parts for a stool. It used copper plumbing fixtures for decoration and hidden goodies like storage and a torch. the guy used a metal ring to hold the legs. Ill photo the pages and share

I can tell you from personal experience, the Lee Valley hardware is very, very good. You need 1-1/4" legs. I have a digital pattern sorted out for the seat and leg length/hole drilling dimensions if any one needs it.

Tandy has the legs and connector as a set:

Lee Valley, yup. Hahaha

 

Probably is one of my favorite wood workers stores in the Alberta capital city.

But they carry a marvelous gardening section as well. ;-)

They certainly deal in high quality merchandise.

Mr.Lee was a wise thinker. Too bad we lost him, so sad....

YOu should try the Japanese Wood carving knives. They cut leather like butter.

Yes, and with two, you get egg roll? Haha

 

They have a few thousands of years practice. They should know how to sharpen a blade. ;-)

 

Which makes or knife brands do you prefer? Any pics to share?

Made in Canada, so you know the high standards of quality and worksmanship. ;-)

I have the "C" version. Going after the "D" next or one of these http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=32502&cat=1,42936,42949

Sharp when you get it. Just strop every now and then.

Yes, they carry a wide variety of cutting implements. 

For me, wandering around Lee Valley Tools, is like being in a candy store.

It's something I never get tired of. ;-)

I hadn't thought of using my sharp wood carving tools, in the leather gallery.

You should have left the cheque book at home, and you would be safe. Haha

I know that feeling, seeing it all, in its shiny glory. Quite the display, for sure...

Lee Valley, is a store unto itself. There are no equals. Only imitators. Haha

Ah, yet we say imitation is the nicest form of flattery, but the tools aren't the same.

Yes, nor the special items that are unique to Lee Valley distributors. 

Their yearly Christmas catalog, is always a delight, for sure...

http://www.leevalley.com/en/home/OnlineCatalogs.aspx

The cover pics on all of these catalogs are very special as well... Unique.

I understand all that. But aren't they in Massachusetts, Connecticut, or something like that? I only live 3 hours from Dallas.

 

Scratch that: they're in frickin Canada!

Won't be visiting there anytime soon.

I believe they were to be opening a store location in Nevada. Perhaps in Reno?

No it appears to be in Las Vegas... ;-)

Yeah, but you were talking about visiting the store. I have ordered something from them before. Oh the pica pencil. It is awesome. Great for carpenter work.

I think the Rockler store is supposed to be pretty special too.

Ah yes the Pica pencil.

Those are handy, and useful.

We don't have to visit the stores to become a loyal customer. I checked the website, to see that they indeed have a Canadian location.

You piqued my interest, so I went ahead and requested a free catalog.  Thanks.

I'm always interested in learning about fine wood working tools. ;-)

I'm just getting into it a little as work will allow. I have always been a field/remodeling carpenter. 

I am quickly learning about the big difference between the two and how lacking in the tools I am for enjoying the total experience.

I have made two tables this year. The first with dowel and pocket screws out of pine. The second was red oak m&t construction finished in linseed oil.

Neither are perfect in any way, but they look good with their granite tops.

Lovin' this store info. Thanks.

A few years ago, actually several, I took a Millwork & Cabinet making course at our N.A.I.T. College.

My father was a Forman with Poole Construction. A major company here in the capital city. So I decided to learn about his profession, as he passed away when I was only 16 years old, and legally wasn't allowed to work on their job sites. So I took the course and absolutely loved it. Mortise and Tenon joints were one of the many wood joints we learned about. There are literally dozens. lap, dove tail, finger joints... Not even including what the Chinese and Japanese use.

Pictured is some incredibly precise Japanese joinery. Quite the feat...

I work for a flooring\countertop store. These were for the showroom. I'm like the in-house carpenter, maintenance man, salesman, special projects and whatever He wants guy. 

I love it.

Chas, I don't even want to think about far east joinery. You seen where they attach beams end to end? Crazy stuff.
