Brass:

• If you'd like a simple kit that contains all the brass you'd need, head to Southern Specialty Supplies. As a Guild member, you'll receive a code for an additional 10% off your purchase.
• Below, I've included links to the parts from other sources, though it will cost more than the kit.
• McMaster-Carr 8953K149 Ultra-Machinable 360 Brass Rods, 3/8" diameter, 1 Foot Long (5 per stool or purchase longer and cut to size)
• McMaster-Carr 9124K58 385 Brass 90 Degree Angle, 1/8" Wall Thickness, 2" x 2" Outside, 1 Foot Long (5 per stool or purchase longer and cut to size)
• 1/8" Brass Rods (These are optional and Philip uses two small pieces to pin the brass to the foot rest so you don't need much. Shop around.)

Bits:

• Top and bottom bearing flush trim bit
• 1/2″ Straight Bit (for mortises)
• 1/4” Radius Roundover Bit
• 3/8” brad point drill bit for brass rods
• 3/8” upcut spiral bit
• Non-ferrous 10” table saw blade
• ½" guide bushing for router

Stuff I use that you might find useful:

• Pre-Made L-Fence

• I recommend a ¾" 3 tpi bandsaw blade
• Figure 8 Fasteners (also known as table top hold downs)
• Titebond Original

This is an Advanced Project!

Advanced does not necessarily mean DIFFICULT. It simply means that there won’t be quite as much hand-holding as we normally feature in Guild projects. You may have to construct a couple of shop-made fixtures/jigs to get some of the tasks done but if you’re interested in a project of this caliber, that shouldn’t be a deal-breaker.
