Vintage Style Three-Legged Stool

Cut the three center supports first. These are a little tricky since the angles fall on different sides of the board, but once you have one cut correctly, the rest go quickly. Drill pocket holes on the underside of each with your pocket-hole jig set for 1-1/2" stock.

Drill 1-1/2" pocket holes facing upward on the inside of all three legs. Attach a center support 5" up from the bottom of each leg, on the inside, for all three legs. Use 2-1/2" pocket-hole screws and glue.

Attach the three center supports to each other on the underside, 1-1/2" in from the legs, forming a triangle. Use 2-1/2" pocket-hole screws and glue.

Attach all three legs to the stool seat with 2-1/2" pocket-hole screws.
