I am new to wood, want to do loads lol. Just found you and I can't stop watching... started at the beginning. You don't talk down to the watchers as if we are silly but as people, Thank you. My partner is an artisan in wood in France... but I have learnt so much from you. Given me confidence
Grateful thanks for sharing Dave. You are an excellent teacher, clear and precise- making something rather complex very comprehensible. As an established enthusiastic hobbyist I have learned a lot and am inspired to make my version of this stool. KZhead at its best🙏🏾🙏🏾 Cheers Jonny
Hi Jonny, Thank you for your kind words.I am very happy that you enjoyed the video and are inspired to make a Rustic Stool. Go for it it is a great type of woodworking that I really enjoy, you can go with the flow allowing the natural curves of the wood to decide how each piece will look. Have fun Happy Woodworking David
When you said "It´s not rocket science, " you instantly got my attention. Too many complicated videos about every little detail are around. Thanks.
Hi Fabio , Thanks for your comment, Go for it rustic woodworking frees you from plans and allows you to go with the materials have fun David
After 6 years KZhead has suggested me this informative video!
Hi Amy , thanks for your feedback I also wish that my videos got more exposure But better late than never! Happy Woodworking David
@@RusticDavid Thanks
Simplicity in your videos really makes things easy...!
Thank you Amit, Happy Woodworking David
Pure raw talent right there and excellent clear eloquent explanation and easy to digest...
Excellent explanation with simple tips including what to avoid... for a great result!
I can'not stress enough how glad I am that I found your channel. You explain everything so well. You tell us what this means and that means. You show us exactly how to do things and use the tools. Heck, I don't know what anything means or how to use the tools properly - this is invaluable to someone like me. It's like going to school for free! I absolutely love it. Thank you so much, David. What a gift. God bless you.
It is the ultimate beginner's woodworking channel
Awesome, thank you for the leg tips. I'm building a stool and was having problems, but after watching you, those problems were fixed. 👍👍👍
Hi Mark I’m very happy to hear that my Video helped you Thank you for your feedback, Good luck with your project David
Thanks for uploading Dave. By just viewing your video I learned how to make my own Tenon cutter. Nice video...
hey Wild you made my day !! thanks for the comment happy tenon cutting!Dave
Great video, amazingly simple solutions that make so much sense. I was kicking myself at that leveling technique, could have saved me so much stress on two tables I've made before. Sick of youtube channels that show off 100s of thousands of pounds of equipment and cad software so this is really refreshing. Thanks
Hi Narnyfied thank you for your feedback in Happy you like my videos I would love to hear what video you would like me to make next Happy Woodworking David
Thankyou so much David for sharing your techniques as I've found them extremely helpful in answering some questions that have been coming to mind for me. VERY MUCH APPRECIATED! Great attitude and energy in life, enjoy as im sure you will and God Bless.

Thanks david,no rain today hopefully a go0d day for round my back carving have a nice 1 david.
Thank you for making this video, it is so informative. I want to make a slab table with some tree branches for legs , but I had no idea how to cut the tenons. It didn't even occur to me to use a draw knife.
Hi sam Glad you like the video please watch this one for an alternative way of making tenons How to Make Rustic Furniture

Excellent video on building a simple stool. Your instructions were clear and well thought out. You just made me confident I can do this. Thanks.
Hi Michael,go for it!! Its a a lot of fun!
I like the way you present the project. Simple and easy for us " non experts" can follow. Thanks
Liked the wedged together stool. Nice starter project. Good man. I like your style. Keep up the good work.
Great, thanks for the guide. Happy to see this built without the fancy tapered mortice in other guides
David is just awesome. I've been absent from the wood working scene but I'm getting back in. My specialty is mainly kids decor and furniture. The reason I love this channel is because David is the master of simplicity.
Hi there, Thank you for your feedback ! kids furniture is great fun with plenty of room for creativity i like adding secret compartments the kids love it!! Happy woodworking David
Just wanted to thank you. I love wood but am an absolute beginner in woodworking. Thanks to your youtubechannel i managed to make my first ever stool. I send you a picture on Instagram. Thanks Again.
Hey Remco ,Thank you for the pictures I’m So Happy that you made a stool and i was able to help you keep it up Happy Woodworking David
Great video Dave - well done - love it.
Brilliant instructional video Dave, thanks very much.At last, someone who shows simply and clearly, how to achieve the angle for the legs, with plenty of tips and clear, straightforward instruction from start to finish; I really enjoyed this video, you are a superb and gifted teacher, my friend. If you lived in the U.K. I would be hot footing it to your workshops. Thanks again.
Thank you Victor i really appreciate your taking time to say so.good luck with stool making Happy Woodworking David
Amazing way of teaching
What an excellent, easy to follow video. Well done David!
Thank you Peter .Go and make some stools Happy woodworking
Fundamentals and they are what I need. Awesome work!
Hi Oscar thank you for your feedback!! Happy Woodworking David
I'm site carpentry apprentice, but joinery has always interested me. This video inspired me to make a pretty much exact replica myself. Thanks David 👍
Hi Leo that’s great!! I love rustic furniture making it allows you play with the wood and let the natural curves and shapes give each piece its own unique beauty.Are you in Wales? I grew up in Pembrokeshire, one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen!!! Happy Woodworking David
@@RusticDavid now I understand where you get the explanation of your sentences from. It seems to be a Welsh thing, and its very endearing.
what an informative video, i learnt some important steps, and great to see he gets straight to the point, unlike some american ones where you nearly fall asleep waiting for them to stop digressing and get to the point, hope you do more, i am keen to see them all, thanks,
Hi Rosco Thank you for your feedback im Happy to hear that you like my video there’s plenty more videos on my channel id be happy to hear what you think of them Happy Woodworking David
Thank you for your hard work, my master, it looks perfect, it's a very nice seat, congratulations, I wish you success, my master 👏👏👏
Thank you David. Lovely video.
Thanks for watching JP
great video, David, That's almost exactly how I make stools! There is a lovely natural visual rhythm to 'stick' legs, as opposed to turned stool or chair legs that I prefer (i have made both).Many Thanks.
Hi Macladilly yes i love the natural lines too and how turning the leg in its mortise can change the whole look of the piece thanks for your comment Happy woodworking David
I agree - I love the wavy rustic legs. Unfortunately, I haven't access to woodland at the moment, so I am making my first one with commercially turned dowelling, but David's has much more character in my view.
Thanks mr. David for all of your videos. I'm so glad to subscribe to your channel. It's very pleasant to see you how to do things. Thanks again.
Hi Mr Tiger,Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching if theres a topic you would like me to cover i love to hear it Happy woodworking David
Excellent David.
Thank you Skoosh.
Very nice job - both in presentation and in execution. I like how you kept it simple too. Here are some topics to consider adding to some related videos: site lines, drilling with a brace and auger bit, conical bits and tapered reamers, and the advantages of keying you wedge and using hide glue rather than yellow glue. You're an outstanding teacher!
Thank you Phillip , You sound very knowledgable! Maybe we should collaborate! Happy Woodworking David
Those crazy tools really gave me a good idea of what woodworking was like at the time of the Black Death.
Hi Stephen good to hear from you again,The first known drawing of a shaving horse is from 1500 and something my history isn’t so good but maybe its the same period,They needed lots of carts to haul away the bodies so the wheel Wright would have appreciated a shaving horse to help keep up with demand!! Have a great weekend David
Nice video. Here are some points to consider 1. I think it's a good idea for better stability and appearance to have the legs splay out toward the ends, also. This could be accomplished just by angling the work on the drill press ramp. 2. Whether it's better to work a drawknife bevel-up or bevel down depends on the angle of the handles relative to the plane of the blade. With most of my drawknives I have better control bevel-up except when working inside radii, as when forming the sloping shoulder of a tenon. 3. An easy way to level a stool is to do it upside down on a flat surface after the protruding tenons are trimmed off. On just finds the shortest leg marks that length on the other legs. The length can be transferred with a mark on a stick; no ruler needed.
Thank you for your feedback Martin.Happy Woodworking David
Lots of good pro tips! Thanks for your time
Hey Graham,Thank you for watching,Health and Happiness to you and your family David
And to you and your family as well! I was looking for ideas to put legs on a cedar log bench. Your video gave me some good ideas
really really loved it! very simple good explanations and no alien-tools i will never be able to buy! thanks a lot
Thank you Cristian Iznardo Rosales go ahead and make a stool Happy woodworking David
Super, now I know what to do with all the rounded slabs left over, after boards are cut from the log. Idea, - Tapered pin legs. And tapered the top of the hole, so the wedged out leg, can never go back out backwards. ( like a sledge hammer hole is tapered ) Also your presentation was great. Nice smooth rhythm to your talk.
Great video.
Loved this video, so helpful for the stool I'm making!!
Hi Sarah thanks for watching, im happy you liked the video , Good luck with your project David
Thanks for sharing. Very well explained 👍
Thank you Gilles i hope it helps Happy Woodworking David
Clean explanations !!! Thank you.
Thank you Abdul i hope you go and build a stool Happy woodworking David
What a wonderful video. I had accidentally discovered wedging for myself in order to rectify the occasionally ill-fitting joints which are inevitable for a beginner. But the way you do it here is much more systematic and rational than the way I was doing it. Also, your method for levelling the legs is such an elegant, simple solution. Thank you David
Hi Littlecicero Thank you for all your wonderful feedback what are you building presently? Have a great weekend David
Simple yet awesome!
Thank you Don Happy wood working David
Thanks for the how to video.
Nice video and excellent information. Thank you!
Hi A and B you're welcome thanks for commenting Happy woodworking David
Hello David, I have made several splined tenon stool leg projects. I never thought to test the spline in the mortise. So simple, so smart! When you were trimming the legs my brain thought that a 23 inch+ stool was pretty tall until I put 2 and 2 together and figured "aha, metric". Anyway, nice educational video, helpful. Thanks
Thank you yes i work in metric but the wood yard still sells wood by inch thickness ,width and length are metric!! figure that out !?Happy woodworking David
I love this ! So good. So nice. Awesome!!
Thanks Hardy glad you liked it, give it a go it’s very enjoyable work you can whittle the tenons with a knife and round them off with sandpaper or a rasp if you don’t have the tools in the video Happy woodworking David
Loved the video. Great to listen to good man.
Thank you Alessandro im glad you enjoyed it Happy Woodworking David
thank you very much for this essential information and techniques. toda raba!
Hi Daniel glad you like it ,bervakashah David
Thanks a lot. This is brilliant, exactly the video I was looking for, simple and clever, right to the point!! 😎 keep going, good luck with all the projects you do!
Keep up the good work 🌺👍
Great tips and tricks :)
Thank you Mike Happy woodworking David
Don't know if it were Disney legends i feel so obsessed with this rustic look
Me too !!!For me its Fred Flintstone!
Perfect! You have explained fully -and clearly- several areas where I was struggling. Thank you. A video this clear and concise takes advance planning. I appreciate not only that you share your skill, but also that you value the viewer's time. I will subscribe!
not sure why "and clearly" is struck through; I had intended to emphasize it, not delete it! :p -Megan
Megan Seklig thank you for commenting I hope that this video helps you go and make something all the best Happy Woodworking David

Hi There Hill Thank you for your feedback im Happy you enjoyed the Video Happy Woodworking David
lovely stuff keep it up :D
Brilliant.
Glad you liked it
Nicely done sir, well explained enjoyed very much 👌
Thank you Green Frog, Happy Woodworking Best wishes David
thank you. I was making a similar chair and saw this video. I'm curious about the tenon cutter, so I'm thinking of making one by imitating the shape of the blade. It probably won't be a success right away, but I thought it was a great idea.
Hi you can copy the blade shape this creates the hollow shoulder not too difficult a task but be sure to anneal the blade after tempering so it doesn’t snap (speaking from experience) good luck
@@RusticDavid thank you. This is where I processed and bent the tipped saw. I'm using the translation function to read the replies, so I'm not sure if I'm understanding the meaning properly, but does this mean that a softer blade would be better suited as a tool for applying force?
i love your video mate!
Thanks Dutch! Happy DutchWoodworking
haha!
i see you are youtubing too great stuff
yeah I'm trying but I wanted/wants to do the same if you without power tools. and show people how beautiful it was before but Idont have the tools to do so...
Watch Paul Sellers KZhead to get inspired about use of hand tools.
special thanks for sharing bro
My pleasure Dunno go for it! Doesn’t need to be perfect to be strong functional and beautiful
Parabéns um ótimo vídeo um abraço desde Brasil
Well, that was seriously cool! Funnily enough I'm in the process of making a stool myself at the mo, I'm subscribing!
Thank you Timber, is the stool made with round tenons? if so how do you cut them?David
+Rustic David I have an adjustable tenon cutter I bought on eBay a little while back. I've only used it once before but it seemed to work well.
Do you have a pic or link?
+Rustic David just realised I should've probably called it a rounding plane, not sure of the official name though. I haven't got a photo of mine but this one is very similar www.google.co.uk/search?q=tenon+cutter+vintage&client=ms-android-sonymobile&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj8trmD9drOAhVGfxoKHVTmC4sQ_AUICCgC&biw=360&bih=512#tbm=isch&q=rounding+plane+adjustable&imgrc=AIZlB1p7S9N1KM%3A

Thank you Zygmunt ,Happy Woodworking David
Thanks brother
My pleasure thank you for your feedback Happy Woodworking David
nice job and some good tips ,i like the pencil sharpener tool ,neat idea, thanks for showing us, Greetings from Wales UK. ive subd
Hi Indiana Glad you liked the video, I’m originally from Tenby area,Happy Woodworking David
Merci David , a great video , how do you make the tenon tool ? Bonne continuation.
Hi Nano, this is the best example I could find I plan to make such a video hopefully soon the tenon cutter in the video is tapered you can make it parallel it wont make nice shoulders so remove material close to chosen diameter to reduce tear out on the shoulder, i have curved blades to cut the shoulder also best wishes David kzhead.info/sun/oM5_nrGio6Zshn0/bejne.htmlsi=A-CG-FO6yGYPthi7
Great and useful vid !
Thank you Podiceps i hope you go ahead and make a piece of furniture Happy woodworking David

Good video again. Who felt that ahd to neg this? Cant you just move on if you don't like it?
👍 that's helpful
Thanks for your feedback Viejo Happy woodworking
Hey David! as usual you're brilliant and charming :) I want to continue with my rustic rocking chair (the one we started at your shop) i need a tenon cutter!! please make a video on how to make it ! I have a spokeshave so i can use its knife maybe? (without ruining it?)
Hey Daniel !! how are you? ok im working on an easy shaving horse right now a simple tenon cutter video is long overdue ! i hope i dont keep you waiting too long! check this out meanwhile .kzhead.info/sun/dsedd9mumqyumqc/bejne.html hope to see you soon!
Hello David, very simple way to teach, amazing. why did you stopped making more videos ?
Hi Jayant, Thank you for your feedback, I haven’t stopped making Videos I simply haven’t had time recently but I will post a video as soon as possible Happy Woodworking David
@@RusticDavid Thank you David !! Love from India
Uma escova de dente ou pincel para limpar o excesso de cola seria muito util! Gostei do seu trabalho, parabéns!
obrigado pelo seu comentário eu concordo com você uma escova de dentes velha limpa a cola muito bem David Woodworking feliz
Hi David, greetings from Aotearoa New Zealand, really excellent video, I'm sure yuo will do well on youtube with content like that! I'm a retired carpenter and joiner and I find myself more and more interested in rustic traditional work, I've actually made a lot of stools, love making stools, very practical and useful, I,m going to try your mortice and tenon method, is that a forstner bit you used to drill your holes? Keep making great videos!
Hi ,Thank you for your input, yes it was a forstner bit but any wood drill will do,I love rustic work it frees you from the accuracy of milled wood joinery and allows you to go with the natural curves of the wood, have fun! Best wishes David
Smart!
Thank you John, Glad you liked it
