If you look closely you can see Kern's house on the horizon:

Oh kern ive got quite a hefty stapler, do you want me to send you it ?

Oh Kerns... I feel with you! Hopefully that Ebay stapler will do - maybe you need an Überstapler?

Anyway, had to lol at Überwood...

Überwood... most likely imported from Germany and the remains of secret Nazi engineering...

Also got a nice slogan idea: "Got wood?" "ÜBERWOOD!"

You should of used plywood, You will struggle to get staples in to mdf as mdf is very hard.

Been through the Stapler problem my self, in the end i purchased a electric one from FOCUS, not cheap but works like a charm, even on Decking wood

so a bit of MDF wood not be a issue

I only cut out a piece of MDF because I had some kicking about from an E2 PCB wood.

But yeah if you're right when my new stapler comes in a week or so, I'll have to make some out of ply instead

Hopefully you will be ok, My stools

are the same as yours but the wood is 12 mm ply and staples go in quite easily.

Well done so far, but if you don't countersink the threads, you might feel them sitting on 'em - potential fail warning!

Looking good so far sweetie. The wood cutting is much neater than I could have done.

They'll look much better without the man-gravy stained velour they used to have.

I considered going for the Japanese stools but as you pointed out they cost a lot of money to import and they aren't really worth anything like £50 each, in any condition. Looks like you're going a good job on these though, should come out great!
