I use one that I found at Northern Tool,  It is firm but cushion seat and back, it doesn't have coasters, but it is comfortable and was only about $49.00.

You could make a leuopold bench and cut it for your sitting comfort.  These were made and placed in a Leopold wildlife sancturary for observing wildlife.  Or look up free patterns for wood benches

http://countryplans.com/smf/index.php?topic=8044.0

I made this bench and its very comfortable and the plan has history.
http://www.amazon.com/Civil-War-Woodworking-Woodworkers-Reenactors/dp/1933502282#reader_1933502282
This is a five board bench.

Find a wooden dining room throw away chair and if the back is broke cut it off and use it for a stool.

Check the library for wood project books.

Food for thought


Hey Grandpa.  I don't think I like wood that much.  Is that sliver proof.  Is that for the scroll sawer who has everything.

I bought an office chair with adjustable height, spring loaded back rest and five wheels under it.  Paid $25 for it. Works well for me.

Heres what I bought early this week. http://www.lowes.com/pd_284314-16878-60812_0__?productId=1240699&Ntt=stool&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dstool&facetInfo=
   What was the good and bad of it, it is so comfortable, but I was having to really bend over my work and could hardly use the foot switch, so I ended up gettin my pipe cutter out, and cut 5 inches off the legs, and what was the good thing, I could pop the bottom level inserts out and press em back in. Now,, it feels good and just the right height...LOL!!

How you likin that Craftsman? I guess I loaded the cart before I hitched the mules up on this one. I should have bought the stool first and make my table to the stool, but all worked good. Just hated to chop up on a new stool..LOL!!
   I like the swivel and the hydra lift adjustment on this one. Really working out good ....

I bought the shop stool from Costco - cost me 30$
It is made of heavy chrome steel and has a very good padded, real leather seat that swivels.  It can be adjusted with the same gas system that is found on office chairs.  The only thing it doesn't have is casters, but with the swivel seat, this isn't an issue.

The padding could be better, after awhile it feels like there is no padding.  Looking at the one from Grizzly and putting the Craftsman at the work bench and the Grizzly at the scroll saw.  I spend more time sitting there.

A guy across the street was throwing out an old electrics test stand so i brought it home and put my saw on it.  Works great, has a power outlet right on it plus a couple drawers and a big storage underneath.  pretty neat for free.

I use my folding black and decker work bench for my seat.  A good stool is on my list for fathers day for sure.
