      SMALL THINGS TO MAKE IN WOOD

      FIRESIDE OR TELEVISION STOOL

      This makes an ideal stool for a child when viewing television. With the alternative construction of a higher back it can also be used by adults. Being low it is useful as a front seat if a number of people are present

      THE only joints used are mortise and tenons. The latter are cut at an angle so that they have maximum length where they meet inside the leg. Mortises to take the seat rails in the front legs are set about 1/2 in. down from the top of the leg, and the tenons shouldered at the top. If the mortises were made too near the top there would be danger of the wood splitting out.

      FIG. 1. THE FINISHED STOOL IN FRENCH POLISHED OAK

      Woven seagrass gives an attractive finish, especially if carried out in two colours, as shown here

      The Back.—The splayed back is made by gluing on tapered pieces at the top of the back legs (see Fig. 2, C), but avoid planing these tapered pieces to an extreme feathered edge, which may become ragged; leave a slight thickness at the bottom as shown.

      If a higher back is required it could be lengthened by about 4 in. or 5 in. as indicated by the thick dotted lines, and the back frame altered accordingly. In this case, however, it would be better to make each leg from a single piece of wood, since, if tapered pieces are glued on, a joint will show at the front. If the latter method is employed, arrange for the joint which shows at the front to coincide with the commencement of the chamfers, which will make it less conspicuous.

      FINISH EITHER NATURAL OAK OR WITH STAIN

      Leg Rails.—Gouge cuts on the leg rails (see Fig. 2, A) are made before assembly. Scratch the lines between which the gouge cuts are to be made, are completed by planing chamfers along their top and bottom outer edges.

      FIG. 2. FRONT AND SIDE ELEVATIONS, WITH PLAN ON SEAT

      Seat Rails.—These are chamfered on the outer edges (see Fig. 2, side elevation) to avoid cutting the seagrass. The outer edges of the back using a scratch stock from each edge of the rail. Mark out the spacing for the gouge cuts in pencil, and make the cuts with a 1/4 in. firmer gouge, working from each end towards the centre of the rail. When the tenons have been cut, the rails frame are slightly rounded for the same reason.

      Legs.—The legs are rounded at the top, but note that the four facets are retained as shown in the plan view (Fig. 2). Chamfers are worked on all four edges of the legs, these being stopped short at the top, but running right through to the bottom (see Fig. 2, B and C).

      ABOUT 2 1/2 LB. OF SEAGRASS IS REQUIRED

      Assembly.—Glue up the back and front frames separately. When these have set, glue in side rails to complete the
