In this video I make a skamnaki. This is how we call this mini stools in Greece. I made it out of scrap pieces of spruce.

First of all I cleaned my material on the table saw. 

I then glued a few boars to make some panels. 

I then used my planer and the table saw to square them up and cut them to size. 

I used the bandsaw to round over the corners of the top. 

I made most of the joints on the tables saw. 

I then glued and nailed the bottom pieces together.

To glue the top I used dowel joinery. 

I rounded over the edges of the top with a spokeshave. 

Finally I glued and sanded everything.

I painted the legs like I did on the first one I made some time ago. 

Finally I finished it with a clear water based varnish. 

And my little stool was ready. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
