 Tripod Stool.jpg
   As the object with many aspects of use, the stool has played the important role in everyday life since long time ago. Made up in various shapes and having symbolic, ceremonial and practical meaning, in the past times these seats were also significant ritual objects, used by chiefs, shamans and members of various tribes for centuries. With a suitable small size, stools were precious personal things, especially for people living in moving villages and for migrant nations, providing them refreshing moments of rest and preserving the memories of their motherlands. Nowadays, the stool remains to be a favorite widget, whether it serves as a seating for craftsmen, farmers and artists, or it’s being popular among the children and adults as both practical and decorative part of furniture.
   You can use many kinds of wood for making this Stool, but we recommend you to purchase some wood with nice texture like Ash, Beech, Cedar, Birch, Walnut, Maple, Oak, Pine, etc. If you are planning to paint the Stool, the texture of a selected wood is not important.   
    Make all the items precisely by the measurements given on particular 2D drawings. The measurements are given in millimeters, and the measurements in inches are given in brakes (1 inch = 25, 4 mm).

ASSEMBLAGE INSTRUCTIONS

1.    Push the Leg (item 2) into the hole on the Seat (item 1). It would be good to apply some wood glue on the Tenon  on the Leg (item 2). If you decided to put this Stool somewhere outside, you should use some kind of water resistant glue, or do not put the glue at all.

 2. Put the Wedge (item 3) into kerf and hammer it slowly into the Leg (item 2). Cut off the tip of the Thin Wedge (item 3) if it sticks out. It would be useful to put a few drops of glue into mortise before this  operation.
