Self-made wooden stool method and creative wooden pier stool method

1. Find an air-dried stump. If the stump is not air-dried, it can be naturally air-dried outdoors. Put the air-dried stump on the woodworking workbench, cut the upper and lower ends of the stump, put a 330mm×330mm square paper card on the stump, and then draw the size of the stool with a pencil. Finally, the four sides were sawed off with a chainsaw to make a rectangular stump 330mm×330mm square and 455mm high.

This step is to make the stool into a twisted shape. First, put the sawed square stump on the workbench, and use an electric planer (or manual wood planer) to level off the surroundings. Then use 50mm thick square wood to level the upper and lower ends respectively, and draw the thickness of both ends of the stool surface and stool foot. Then draw a semicircle on the corner of the stump with a paint bucket. After the semicircle of eight corners is drawn, the diagonal corners are connected into a straight line. After drawing four diagonal lines in this way, a twisted design line is formed, and finally the position to be sawed is marked with a pencil.

3. Put the painted stump obliquely on the workbench, and saw off the redundant part with a chainsaw. Pay attention to the wire cutting strictly, and don't cut too much. The parts that are difficult to saw can be polished with a grinder later, and don't cut too hard to destroy the shape. If you use a hand saw, the stump should be fixed in a vise first, and then cut with a wire saw.

4. Use hand-held electric grinder to further polish the shape of wooden pier and stool. Before starting the machine, check the grinding wheel for cracks and whether the protective cover and components are in good condition. Wear protective glasses to prevent small particles rotating at high speed from flying into eyes during processing. Then polish the shape according to the design line draft. Don't polish off the four corners of the modeling line drawing, and the polished modeling should be smooth. The technical difficulty of polishing is not high, and the key is care and patience.

There are many cracks and gaps in the air-dried stump itself, which can be made up by epoxy resin here. Cracks and gaps filled with epoxy resin are as indestructible as glass. Pigments can also be added to the resin. The repair method is to polish the surface of cracks and gaps. Mix and stir the component A and the component B evenly according to the ratio of 1: 1, and then fill the cracks and gaps.

6. Grind the surface of the residual limb filled with epoxy resin with a grinder. Wear dust-proof glasses and a mask when polishing. After polishing, use 120~240# sandpaper to polish along the grain direction until smooth and flat. And thoroughly remove the sanded sand dust, use cotton cloth or brush to thinly coat a layer of wood wax oil with good color along the direction of wood grain, ventilate and dry, and brush it for the second time after the first time.
