Perch Stool Part 3.5 Stretchers
Size the Stretchers from Your Assembled Stool
In this video I figured out the sizes and turning profile for my 2 stretcher and I even lay those dimensions onto my template board for easier turning. However, I say this in the video and I’ll say it again. You must capture the dimensions for the stretchers from your own stool as they will mostly certainly be different. For that matter they will probably be different with every one of these stools that you build. So laying out the template once shouldn’t be an excuse to turn everything to that same size.
Have no fear though, there is a fair amount of wiggle room here since there are no shoulders on the tenons and if necessary some additional shaping either at the lathe or with a spokeshave can finesse an errant fit.
Let's Finish the Perch
Next Live Broadcast will be 2 PM on Saturday 11/18/17
I’ll be boring the holes for the stretchers, assembling the whole thing and cleaning up in preparation for finish.
