Shortening a bar stool into a foot stool
On Christmas Day, my sister Lisa asked me to convert her $4 garage sale bar stool down into a foot stool.
I shortened it to 13 inches in height.
I could find no way to make it fit into my bandsaw, or other electric saws for that matter...........so I carefully tried to cut the right angle using my hand back-saw.
The results came out surprisingly well. I only had to belt sand 1 leg down a smidgeon so it would set perfectly flat on my table saw top.
She was pleased at the results 
All it needs is a little stain touchup on the saw cuts, and it will be perfect!
Here is a before and after pictures........
