I have been thinking about building a Guitar Chair for some time. I have gathered ideals for awhile and settled on the first one I just built here. Do to time constrant I downsized to a stool (big learning curve for me). I just started this project on Feb. 14, 2017 ( I need to pay more attention to the challenges, my bad). The Red Oak is from a church pew that was giving to me. I started by routhing the seat and not cuting all the way through the lumber. I than took the lumber to the table saw and crosscut a 6 degree cut. I than fliped the right side of the seat and crossed cut a small piece off the the other half of the seat. This gave me a Vee seat top edge to work with and increased the depth of the existing curve in the lumber. I finshed cutting the circle with a fret saw. I drilled 2 pocket holes in both the top and bottom edge for my glue up of the seat. I used Titebond lll ( I wanted time to match the grain). I used a hand plane, cabinet scrapers and orbit sander to remove the old finish. I rough cut the legs and also cut a 6 degree angle for the leg tops. I drilled 2 pocket holes in the top of the legs to attach to the seat. I used a flat spokeshave to bevel the front faceing side of the legs. I used the spokeshave to bevel the edges of the seat. I angled the front of the seat downwards for Guitar practice. I marked the legs layout with a ruler/protractor utilizing Aquee Distance (I think that is what it is called, please see Paul Sellers video on a 3 legged stool part 2

).Sanded every thing to 220 grit in stages. I applied a wallnut stain to legs and 2 coats of Watco Natural Oil to the seat top. I applied several coats of Poly to the seat top, seat bottom and legs. Sorry for the long description.

Thanks for looking,

Dale
