This is my new shop stool - seemed like I need one so here it is
This is the first time I have made hair pin legs, so I made the Rod Bender that you can see in the video and had a go at it. The bender works fine though the rod needs to be clamped nice and tight.
The lowest height of the stool is 460mm or 18". The max height of the stool is 730mm or 28 1/2 ".

I used Shear-Lag dome headed screws on the seat edge band that Doug at "Artfully Rouge" sent me. They are truly a great idea and worked perfectly on this job. I loved them!!
