The legs I mentioned in the post are for his 2x4 stool. It's been a fun project. Wish I had a drill press for the holes. The angles are tricky to get free hand
Oof, yeah. I'm actually thinking of making a stool, and am dreading the idea of getting the legs straight...er, the correct amount of crooked.
I drilled a few practice holes with a forstner bit and a bevel gauge and honestly even the first holes I drilled were pretty dead on and I'm no whiz with the drill. Worst cast scenario you're out $5 for the 2x4
Yeah, I (luckily) do have a drill press. I imagine it'll go fine, I'm just always a bit paranoid. I think I'll be using a large piece of 4/4 oak that I got from a neighbor, and I don't really have a ton of that lying around if I bugger it up.
