I have made a lot of furniture over the years, much of which I don’t own any more.  Most of my current projects are “camp” or “rustic” designs.  I am very fond of the Arts and Crafts movement and have built quite a few pieces from designs of this period.

Camp Furniture

This is my favorite camp stool design.  It folds down small, can be made to any scale, and is sturdy enough to stand on.

Here is how it is made…

A band saw makes this kind of work easy.

A drill press and good bit make fittings more precise.

Piecing it together (in the right order).

Seventeen pieces, twelve holes, and a few screws.

And the table.

Testing for sturdiness.  You can see that it is missing one stretcher still.
