Marking and Measuring By Curtis Turner Round Rock, Texas Curtis's most recent project is a Windsor style stool based on plans found in the Chairmaker's Notebook by Peter Galbert. This project requires turning several matching parts. While portions could be turned by eye, there are elements that should be turned to precise proportions. Measuring tools are critical to the success of this and similar projects.

The benefits are that the entire project can be completed in about three-to-four hours, will provide an opportunity for extensive practice with the skew chisel, presents a modest challenge in turning multiple parts that match and mate, and creates a new avenue for experimenting with practicing design modifications for these and other larger versions of the four-legged soft-seated bench.
