Introducing shaun the pom pom stool

Here is Shaun. Shaun is a 3 legged stool I designed for my client Polly. He is made from 214 pom poms and maple wood for the legs and base of the seat. The seat itself is made from soft foam that once sat on the back is then noticeable to support your lower back. Thank you for looking at Shaun I hope to be making more in the future.

Workshop: when will it end!

So I need more pom poms than I thought I might of needed today by at least 20. Wanted to finally have the stool finished today but now seems it is very possible that tomorrow will be the last day to have the stool finished and to then make my boards finally. I am also trying to create some animations in solid works something I hope will be useful and I will use during the presentation.

Workshop: there shall be legs!!!

Holes drilled for the legs still got to drill the holes in the legs and get the splits between them lathed. Backs formed just needs covering in foam and then more pom poms :D busy busy week ahead :(

guess how many

Workshop: slowly geting there

All three legs now lathed with half the pom poms now ready to be upholstered onto the foam all needs doing now is forming the back I’m thinking with cloth then upholstered over the top.
