Hi Folks, Welcome to Man Cave Makings with me Gus,
In this video I’ll take you through the process of how I made my adjustable height welding stool for the man cave. Not having done a stool before it took a bit of head scratching and lots of coffee but essentially by mapping it out on paper, making a template I was then able to get cracking with the metalwork.
As with all of my videos my aim is to give as much information as possible to cater for all viewers, including a step by step guide of how I did it. I hope you can take something away from the information shared in the video and use it in your own projects and workshops.
I talk in the video about how I went from not knowing the right end of a sewing machine to producing the diamond stitched stool top for the stool and you if you want to see that “how to” video you can view it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Z-TV0ES2I&t=2s

UPDATED: Man Cave Make It Yourself – I have had some requests for a drawing or sketch so you guys can build one of these stools yourself and John Harmon over at Cold Creek Works did me a brilliant favour and took my sketch and has translated it into all sorts of different formats for you to download free of charge https://tinyurl.com/curved-leg , massive thanks to John and check his channel out for some awesome content. https://www.youtube.com/user/jdh239
I mention in the video Jody over at https://www.weldingtipsandtricks.com/ . I just wanted to give him a shout out as his site and information he has on there is first class and if you’re in to welding like me then I suggest subscribing to his channel. Cheers Jody, thanks for all the tips……..and tricks on welding!

On the morning of August 2, 2010, a three man crew arrived to construct our 30′x40′ metal building. All the materials were brought with them on a flatbed trailer pulled by a pickup truck. The concrete floor and front pad had been poured the previous month.
Sorry for all the still photos. We had not gotten our video camera yet. However, this should give you a decent idea of what all is involved in constructing one of these buildings.
The building itself is 40′ across the front and 30′ deep. The walls are 12′ high. The roll-up door is a 10′x10′ set in 4′ from the end wall. We also upgraded the walk thru door to the 36″x80″ and added two extra windows. The alarm system, security cameras and motion detectors will be in soon.
This video is for entertainment only and is in no way an instructional video. The three men in this presentation are professional construction workers and specialize in constructing metal buildings.
