Some Simple But Beautiful Woodworking Projects
If you want to take up fine woodworking as a hobby but don't have much space, you may want to think about buying a good quality lathe. A lathe can fit in a corner, but allows you almost unlimited design possibilities.
Wood bar stools are a perfect starter project. You can start by turning simple tapered legs and stretchers and gradually work your way up to more complicated turnings. You can even turn the bar stool seat on your lathe.
To make tapered legs, all you have to do is offset the bottom of the leg. Because it is not centered on the pin, it will wobble, so you need to take care when you start rough gouging. Nip away at the wood slowly rather than trying to take it off in big chunks. Also, you will have to set your chisel rest a little further away from the material than is normally safe, so take extra precautions as you work.
By the time you have completed four sets of legs for your wooden bar stools, you will be a virtual expert at turning tapered legs. If you like, you can put the legs back on the lathe and add some decorative detailing. Instead of making a dead straight taper, try adding a gentle bulge to give it a less rigid look.
Before you take your legs off the lathe, you will need to turn the top of the legs to an exact diameter for installing into the seat. You will need to set your calipers to the diameter you want and check regularly as you turn. As soon as the calipers can slip over the wood, stop turning. If you need to trim a little off later, after you have bored the holes in the seat, you can easily do so. It's not so easy, however, to add wood to your turning!
You will then need to turn your stretchers. These can be straight or you can taper them at both ends. If you taper them, your calipers will come in handy to ensure that they are of equal diameter at the ends.
Now that you have finished all of your turnings, you are at the hardest stage of construction. Since the legs aren't perpendicular to the seat, you will have to first figure out what angle they are going to be at. A safe way to do this is to make a full scale drawing and work from that. Then, when you know the angle, make a jig for your drill press. Don't forget to make some trial holes in some scrap wood first.
Woodworking, like any other craft, is a matter of practice. It's a good idea to start off with fairly easy projects and work your way up to more complex pieces. You will be surprised how quickly you will improve. Soon you will be making better modern bar stools than you can buy in the store!
