I’ve been working on some house/honeydo projects lately, but finally got a day to play in the shop.
Finished up a couple of bowsaw frames, so I don’t have to change blades anymore.
I’m planning to try some stake furniture, ala Chris Schwarz’ Anarchist’s Design Book. After Peter Tremblay’s thread upstairs about workbench stool height,

I decided to start with the tall three-legged stool, with some modification.
I dug out the tapered reamer I’d made a number of years ago, and made a matching tenon cutter.
I’ve got a chunk of 8/4 red oak to be used for the legs...I split it to get the straightest grain orientation, and started squaring up the stock. The front piece is squared up at 1 3/8”. Behind it you can see the next piece of raw stock.
Finally, I made a shaving pony to shape the rough tenons before using the tenon cutter. It’s a little crude yet...I’m leaving room for adjustment as I use it.
Thanks for looking!

Dave Arbuckle was kind enough to create a Sketchup model of my WorkMate benchtop: http://www.arbolloco.com/sketchup/MauleSkinnerBenchtop.skp
