More folding stool plans

Big thanks to Bruce (AKA Wood Chuck) for taking the time to design another version of the folding stool. This one is in Google SketchUp. Ive also created a PDF of all 6 pages of views, if you would prefer that.
So heres a bunch of options:

• Bruces Sketchup file
• PDF version of Bruces design
• PDF of Tim Barkers very detailed AutoCAD design
Give this a shot. Its a great project!

Plans!

Tim Barker took the time to strip down the instructions in my video and actually make a set of plans.  Download the PDF here. Thanks Tim!

Heres the video from November 2009:
