A DIY Shop Stool You Can Build

6:02 - for those starting this at home without a 3D printer, there are local vendors on CraftCloud that will take the 9 STL models, print in PLA and ship to you in 5 days for <$60. As you'd expect from a professional, the models import perfectly without design defects. Great first project, looking forward to watching what's next!

Kent Kallsen is off and running! A great first video - clever design, clearly described and excellent instructions/reference materials. Hold tight - I'm certainly going to build one of these!

GREAT Job to start your channel. Funny, I’ve been staring @ my big box rolling stool for the past 2 months. Hesitant on spending $599 for the Viper Style. Then I see that I have every tool you used “Team Milwaukee” except the die grinder. So you just helped me rationalize buying a die grinder and building my own…lol. Also thanks for reminding me of OnShape 3D and FREE alternatives. Best of luck with your channel and you got yourself a. We subscriber. I can’t wait to see your channel evolve and what’s to come. Maybe videos of your 3D printer/process/projects as you create more marking jigs, etc. I would NEVER make my own Pentagon from metal…but now I’m going to try it. That in fact was the main reason why I had not built mine…you made that easy!

Subscribing to this! Top class editing, sound, explanation! You will get a lot of friends on here! Congrats! 😎 Suggestion for a project; cabinets on casters, with lots of drawers for all those small bits and tools.

Congratulations to starting your channel and well done first video. You always have been a natural mentor, thanks for sharing your knowledge with a larger audience. And bring that stool to Gingerman!

Great work! Love the detailed documentation of your process!

So dope. Keep making these. Please!

Excellent video, great product!

Looks nice, good job. I am looking for a stool design that uses an electric linear actuator to adjust the height. The hydraulic chair cylinders are good but I want a chair that you can raise the elevation without having to stand up. When using my soldering microscope on my electronics bench I need to raise up about 8" to get get to the proper height for the eye pieces.

4:13 — really 12;30pm — great idea & I will be over to discuss my BD present for the Den;? Never too “old” to learn!

Either way if you buy the American-made one or you make the one you want yourself it's still American made when a do it yourself or that lives in America does it it's always going to still be American made you got an awesome Channel bud

Great video! Great content!

Nice work! Great to see the process from ideation to creation. Keep up the great knowledge share out! Love it.

I’m subscribing…number 337. YAY

You are FAB Ulous!

Subscribed, if the first video is any indication of how upcoming videos will be its a cool channel. Maybe add a sheet of metal underneath for small parts. Also, to help keep cost down, I either repurpose/recycle or go to a metal supply shop and the rems (the cut offs they have after cutting full pieces down for customers). I'd also like to see how to draw the computerized project plans, and shop tour.

I wish I could build stuff like this

New subscriber!! Really great stool!!!

OK, you asked for it, so here goes… this may be a ‘cultural’ or a ‘national’ thing, or just me, but the music was horribly intrusive. I do have severe hearing problems and need the volume up high for your speech, but hated having my head pummelled by that racket in between speech sessions. (Well, you asked for what I didn’t like!) That said, the film quality was great, the subject (shop stool) was perfect, the welding looked good and well executed - a good pattern to follow - so all in all, a really good video. I recently built a stool for my workshop and it uses wheels from a supermarket trolley, much like yours. However your design is much more stable than mine… so I’m thinking about a re-design! Thanks, I’ll follow along for a bit, though I’m more into motorcycles and steam locos😊. Thanks, Les in UK 🇬🇧

Handy!
