It's a stool.
Originally, I wanted to make an industrially-themed bar cart, but decided to downside my idea and start small. I would like to start a furniture company, with the theme from above, named, "The Industrialist Revolution". I call dibs on the name.
Seriously. I'm going to get it trademarked; don't steal it. I was going to name the company, "Bison", because...I like bison.
And then I thought of the other name.
I know - it's not perfect. Not nearly. I really like the black steel piping, although, it's difficult to get the legs level with each other. I need to find a new and better way to get the wood secured to each other - steel banding on the bottom won't do. It's more sturdy when the legs spread outward, rather than have them be perfectly perpendicular with the seat. Spreading them outwards, though, makes it look flimsy, like it's not supposed to do that. If I was to secure the seat in a border, it'd stay together.
And the problem with steel piping for legs, is that you can't make a square with the pipe. When you'd get to the fourth bar that secures the legs, tightening it into one tee would make it screw out of the other. This is easily avoided with the use of a union - those, however, are expensive.
Also, what not to use is a flange. I couldn't find anything else to secure the legs to the seat, so I used four flanges instead. Don't. Use. Flanges. They are ten dollars apiece. It's ridiculous.
I'm going to add to it here-and-there, to improve its sturdiness.
I have a lot to learn, and I'm excited to improve it. It was a good experiment, and there's going to be lots of trial-and-errors. If anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it.
