1. MARK THE PIECES 2. CUT THE SHAPES 3. BEGIN BORING THE HOLES

4. COMPLETE THE DRILLING 5. ATTACH THE LEGS 6. FINAL ASSEMBLY

Use a handheld jigsaw to cut the shapes into the stool parts. Clamp them in place while you cut to ensure accuracy and safety.

Using a pocket-hole jig, bore the holes at the ends of each stretcher. These joints will join the legs to the stretchers.

In the same way, bore the holes that will attach the stretchers to the top of the stool. Again, clamp the pieces securely as you drill the components.

With the long driver bit provided in the pocket-hole kit, drive screws through the stretchers into the legs of the stool.

Complete the assembly by screwing the top to the stretcher. Then sand the stool smooth and apply your fi nish of choice.

Use a compass and a combo square to mark the shapes you will cut onto your stool components. The form of these cutouts is up to the builder.
