Thank you!

Thank you! Sanding was quite tedious on this piece.

Thank you so much!

haha I get fatigued of river tables as well. I knew I had to switch it up! Thanks for the support!

Thank you Penolopy! I hope to do some more like this in the future!

Unfortunately I don't know of any. I ran into the same problem when I started a couple years. I wanted to take a class so bad to learn but there were none in my area. I just went on youtube and did hours upon hours of research and eventually got better and better after practicing. Maybe you will have a class nearby, if not, youtube is great!

Thanks! I used 3 coats of fabulon sanding in between coats. I also used it on the bark. Ive tried quite a few wood finishes, and by far fabulon has been the most heavy duty-durable. I went with this so I could try and seal the bark on there as strongly as possible.

I actually bought some big bulb outdoor LEDs after the fact. I scrambled to find bulbs I had laying around the house for this. The new ones look much better too!

That would be cool! let me know how it goes!

That sounds amazing! I will have to try that for my daughter next year

I don't see why not!

Thank you!

Thank you Bella.

Thank you!

Thanks. Interesting, that sounds really cool.

That would have been way to smart! Instead I like spending much more time on these things.

Check the air filter. Majorty of vacuums that are loosing suction is due to the air filter being clogged.

I didn't realize the brace was the wrong direction until I installed it. whoops!

I know. I may change it. I didn't realize it was the wrong direction until it was already installed. whoops

That is a good idea. I am not familiar with different climates. I only know what is standard here in Clovis, CA which is always warm and dry.

Yes I forgot to mention that you can pressure wash, or just plain sand the fence boards!

Oh NOO!!! lol that was a typo... I guess I was thinking "shovel" in my head vs the Hammer. Thanks for catching that. I will edit it!

what old shovel handle? The one I restored a couple months back?

hahaha

haha Thank you brother! I like how you did yours with the double cross bracing... Makes me want to go back outside and add another brace!

Thanks for the tip!

Thank you!!!

That would be fun!

Very good to know! I will do this next time for sure!

It was really fun! I have ideas to make the next one much better though

Thank you! I think i will in the future!

It is 24" tall x 20" wide x 8" deep

Thank you! I actually thought about it quite a bit, and there are already a ton of instructables and videos on this same tapering jig so I don't think I will end up doing one. Do a quick search on DIY tapering jig and you can find really good plans for this exact one!

haha thank you!

Im almost certain that most people that have zero mistakes just edited their mistakes out lol. I also learn everything from watching other people work, it is the best way to learn! Thanks for watching!

Thank you Mark... I never heard of it either before starting this build haha. Once I researched it I learned that the Japanese barstool and Contemplation stool are one in the same basically.

haha I have really strayed away from my sculptural background I suppose. Thats amazing that you have some old walnut you can work with from the farm. That would be really cool and sentimental to make a couple of stools from it!

haha well Thank you.... A little luck a little craftsmanship I suppose

I didn't keep track but I'd say around 10 hours total or so? More hours editing the video than actually making it haha.

Thank you for watching and checking out the instructable. I appreciate it!

hm I cant seem to see the photo?

Thank you Phil. I would love to see the wine bottle you made! I think I got extremely lucky to find ungalvanized chain. None of the big box stores had any, but surprisingly my local tractor supply store had some. Thank you for viewing my intractable!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Each link is roughly 1" or so. I am not sure about the thickness or gauge.

Thank you!

Thank you! I did not know that was going on... I definitely will!

Thank you Jessy!
