I want to Thank DaninVan for this idea.

It uses through mortice and tenon joinery (wedged), and the dirty legs were made with a torch after carving toe nails into the feet. On the back side I added a cute little bum, and finished with shellac. This was a fun little project...that has character.

Great job and the best rendition I’ve seen of it

 

[DaninVan]

Way better'n mine, Gary! Now I'm gonna plagiarize your version...
I really like the tanned legs; big improvement over my original one.
The tush is a winner!
One thing I did was round over the top edge to avoid cutting into leg circulation for a little kid sitting on it.
Mind you a cushion would do the same thing.

Looking good, Gary, I like the thru mortises.

I really liked Dan's version, but you've added some finishing touches that make it even better.

...my wife already saying no.

My wife had a polite response but made it perfectly clear that Gary can keep it in his house. Nice improvements and detail.

I would like to have added a Minion.

The back is a bit cheeky, old boy!

 

[JFPNCM]

Like it. Well done.

 

[old55]

Very nice.

 

[marecat3]

Nice

 

[sreilly]

Well that certainly is a different take but it reminds me of plumber's pants. It looks great but maybe a shop stool........but what species is this? Only 4 toes......

 

[difalkner]

Nice whimsical work, Gary! I like it, 4 toes and all.

A few years ago a good friend of mine for over 50 years had a leg amputated just below the knee. His sisters and a few friends were in the hospital room when he asked if I would make a prosthetic for him. Knowing that his sense of humor is like mine I said, "Sure, which side do you want the big toe to be on?" He laughed for 5 solid minutes and every time I saw him he brought it up and laughed again. :grin:

There are 10 toes. I am thinking of adding sandals...but the feet are 11' long and quite wide.

So, not a foot stool then?

Oops...11" long!

I thought I was wrong once...But was mistaken.

SWMBO says I'm wrong by default.
