I designed this a couple years ago, and I've made it around a dozen times. I wanted it to look very traditional, but break down in an easily packable way.

I'm still planning another upgrade to the technique by which I turn the threads, or possibly engineering a brass insert, and then I intend to translate the design into digital in sketchup and make it into a shareable plan. I have a few of my woodworking class curriculums turned into by-mail kits as well, I'm debating if this one could work, I want it to.

I had to make a custom reamer to get the taper needed for the legs, that was challenging. The legs are riven, and require a species the hardness of oak or more, or the threads will be too soft.

(Are folks in this sub interested in me sharing the by-mail woodworking projects I have created, or would that be too close to self promoting? I was a handtool furniture making teacher before covid shut down the school, and I want to teach again how I can)

I'm totally unoriginal in my naming schemes: I call it the Parker stool because it's for parking your ass wherever you want to.
