My greatest challenge during this build was laying out compound mortise and tenon joints, and cutting them all by hand.
I decided to build a rectangular saddle stool mainly because of the limited space I have in my shop. I have less than 180 square feet, and the rectangular shape and height lets the stool hide under my bench or in a corner without eating up much floor space.
For the next build off, I’d like to see something that uses mechanical motion, like a folding card table/tv tray or the like.
Anyway, thanks for everything, Chris. This was an absolute blast, and a great project for my little garage shop.
