Just a little stool I made for my great granddaughter.
The pyro work was done by Evelyn.

This little stool is mine. I use it all the time. To reach the things I couldn't and sometimes the things I shouldn't. Wonderful gift.

That is one cracking little stool Bill I am pretty sure that it will be well loved and you will be the best Granddad in the world.:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:.

I find it very rewarding making the youngsters wooden toys and other bits especially when they get plenty of use.

Bill, that's an excellent 3 legged stool and your granddaughter will love it, something to be cherished for generations.:thumbs:
I made my kids one each when they were very young and they still have them 30 odd years later.

That's a cannie cracket Bill
Sorry Vic but it isn't a cracket IMHO. A cracket is a much more simple stool first made by miners out of any old scrap wood, to rest their heads whilst working in low seams and sit on to eat their "bait".
A bit like the posh version below which are now desirable items. I made my son one of those to stand on when he couldn't reach the bog for a pee:whistling:
