Chair Club part 3 - four legs

This is a chair club retrospective, since my stool was completed a few weeks ago. But it's good exercise for my woodworker memory to record the steps as blogposts!

So here are photographs of the next level of chair club, where the surface (made of various woods - see previous posts) is setting, it soon became time for leg making.

I originally set out to make a milking stool but took the decision to go four legged, for good balance and aesthetics.

Here are the steps taken to preparing four legs at angles, to splay out beneath the stool whilst slotting into the surface at right-angles. Using a set square and mortice gauge, carefully! Marking out each leg in the same way, and then removing the necessary sections.
