I installed the blog two years ago (well just over two years really – I just paid the bill for another two years) and as you can see, there isn’t anything here!<\/p>\n

That’s about to change as I pick up from where I left off and with the help of Kate Lawrence (www.indigocat.net) the website is finally being built. \u00a0I’ve been using Facebook a bit –\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kurrajongfarmcollection – but it’s time to get back to blogging. \u00a0I wanted to talk about building furniture.<\/p>\n

You know, pieces often suggest themselves to me when I look at the timber. \u00a0Building furniture out of recycled timber is not always easy. \u00a0Unlike timber bought from the timber yard, recycled timber isn’t always the same width, or length, or thickness, or even the same type of wood. \u00a0If you make a mistake you can be in big trouble . . .<\/p>\n

And often the pieces of wood aren’t even straight. \u00a0Recycled wood can be cupped, warped, bowed, twisted . . . \u00a0I have five thick boards clamped together sitting on the water tank in the weather with weight on them to try to take the twist out of them. \u00a0So instead of starting with a table, I often start with a piece of wood.<\/p>\n

But sometimes ideas just arrive and then I find the timber that will work. \u00a0One such is the idea for a stool. \u00a0Who said stools have to have four legs? \u00a0Or even three? \u00a0Couldn’t we get by with two if it was stable? \u00a0Of course and this was inspired by the good old fashioned step ladder.<\/p>\n

\"Step<\/a><\/p>\n

This one was taken from Etsy but we have one here on the farm, an old timber one like this. \u00a0Anyway, these have only two legs, the second fold out set are just the brace to stop it falling over and you can sit on them in perfect safety. \u00a0So how about a permanent brace? \u00a0Like this?<\/p>\n
