Camp Stool

Use ash or beech wood for the frame of the stool, if you can get it. Failing either of these, good straight grained deal, free from knots, can. be used.

· Four pieces of 'one-and-a-quarter- inch by half-inch wood, cut to length of sixteen inches, will be re- quired for the legs, which should be planed on both sides and edges. Clamp two pieces together and bore a quarter-inch-hole right through the middle of both. Set out the slots C and D, and, with tenon saw and chisel, cut these out of both pieces at the same time, and round off the ends as indicated in the

legs in the same way.
