There’s no question that woodworking can be an expensive hobby. Tooling up is a substantial investment, and the cost of lumber rarely goes down. But the enjoyment of woodworking doesn’t have to be dampened by a price tag. Sometimes it only takes a few pieces of lumber to satisfy a material list while still offering a lot of quality woodworking enjoyment. Beth Ireland’s “A Stool with Stretchers” article provides a good example. Fashioning this stool will involve both machine and hand tool effort as well as time spent turning the legs and spindles. If you’re looking for a meaningful project to build that won’t break the bank, perhaps a sturdy and useful stool will fit the bill.
