This series is a little different from many of our other video workshops. Our original intention was to capture David Johnson’s weaving on video to help drive home the concepts in his article “How to weave a seat with Danish cord” in the Sept./Oct. 2020 issue of Fine Woodworking. While we were there, we thought it would be fun to capture the full build.
David’s stool is fairly simple and there aren’t plans available. This series is more about giving a glimpse into David’s workflow, not just the techniques he uses in his woven seats, but as a woodworker and designer as well. We hope you enjoy it.
In this episode, David gives his stool an elegant look with subtle curves and hand-carved texturing on the legs, and then he glues it all together with hot hide glue.

Those router table and the bandsaw template cutting setups are incredible. No table saw?! Really enjoying this whole series.
Wondering about the hide glue pot and heater David uses. Looks like a perfect size for small glue-ups. Can you let us know what is used and a source to purchase them?..Thank You.....Mark from Narragansett, RI
That one is from Lee Valley.
