Here is where I got the pattern data:text/html;base64,PG1ldGEgZGF0YS1mYnByZWZldGNodGFyZ2V0IC8+ There’s a couple others out there without the pockets to hold the seat, the seat is held on by screws in the end of the dowels. Also Tandy sells a kit and a couple other places sell the tri-bolt although the nice ones are expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlatwaterLeatherGuy Report post Posted July 29, 2018 Fire88 - Very nice work! I tried to follow the link that you posted, but unfortunately it's not working. Could you repost please? I'd like to make one of these as a guitar playing seat/stool and this design would work perfectly and be portable as well. -Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Instinctive Report post Posted July 30, 2018 For those looking for a pattern, this is mine. PDF down load attached. Print on 8.5x11 paper with no scaling on the print size. I found 24" legs with hinge point 10.5" from the top works well. I use #9 copper rivets for my assemblies. Stool Seat PDF.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmoss379 Report post Posted August 9, 2018 Where do you source your legs? I have a seat ready but I'm having the hardest time actually finding legs for the thing...been thinking about cutting down some tool handles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a seat ready but I'm having the hardest time actually finding legs for the thing...been thinking about cutting down some tool handles. Tool handles are too small. Head over to the nearest Home Depot, Lowes or whatever you have near you and buy a 1-1/4" hickory or other hardwood dowel. You can usually get a 6' piece. Cut it into 24" long pieces and make your legs. Edited August 9, 2018 by Instinctive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
