@drfisherman1 I think I will make blueprints and put them on LogFurnitureHowTo(dot)com. There are a lot blueprints and how-to videos including mine on that site. Check it out! I'll post the bench right after the holidays, I promise!
@drieeske1 You can build them however high you want. Just be sure to adjust the angle of your cuts on the legs so the spread stays between 12" and 14". For stools 30" or over I recommend trying to put one or all of the spindles on the outside of the legs to give yourself someplace to rest your feet.
@RusticStyleColorado NOTE: by "Spread" I mean the width of the footprint of the stool. Just measure from the outside of one foot across to the outside of the foot next to it. That's the spread. :)
love the stools man, i just got a bunch of birdseye maple that i was going to use for a barstool but now that i saw this im gonna save the maple and use some logs. and that bench is sweet
Danish oil brings out the natural colors, polyurethane kind of stains it with a yellowish tint. Danish oil, with each reapplication, looks and feels better and better as time goes on, poly can only be applied once, so you're stuck with the fading color. Most importantly, danish oil is environmentally friendly and has no health risk, poly contains poisons. Thanks for the question!
Have been thinking of making a workbench similar to yours that would flip like that any help would be greatly appreciated

Hello! Great work! Why do you recommend to finish the piece with Danish oil? And how to refinish it when surface has been worn out?

That workbench is a work of art

I think I'm getting more response over the bench than the stools! Never thought these pieces of art would be upstaged by a tool.
