Stage 6. Final frame, 6mm steel rod, heat bent and welded.

So after weeks of designing, concepting, planning, researching, sourcing, lots of waiting around trying to net over extended workshop staff, trials and errors and a large amount of frustration, the star stool has finally been realised. I have heat bent and weld it with the help of the workshop boys and my friend Erin.

Why is it called a star stool you ask? Well as you have already observed it is made up of many small triangle, but the real reason is because when it stacks, the seat of the first stool nests to the joins on the legs of the second, creating a star-like shape, when viewed from above.

My good friend Alan helping to smooth out our rookie weld job, he wanted it done properly and didn't fancy our changes, so he stepped in the smooth things out.
