Making The Waterfall Stool

Evan Dunstone is one of Australia's top furniture designer/makers. Here he takes us on a tour of the Dunstone Design workshop and then we see the full process of making one of his signature pieces: the Waterfall stool, now in its 15th year of production. This video accompanies a story written by Evan which appears in issue 91 of Wood Review, our June 2016. Subscribe to both digital and print editions of the magazine from www.greatmagaz...

Australian furniture design and craftsmanship at its best. A beautiful insight into the making of an Aussie icon. Well done!

Simple but ingenious bespoke safety guard on the table saw at 2:40 or so. Brilliant.

[@DunstonedesignAu]

Thanks Scott. What is not clear on the video is that there is a large elastic strap that pulls the bed of the table saw back after the cut has been made. This reduces fatigue on the maker (they only have to push forward with their hips) and allows them to concentrate on the cut.

[@harrisedgar]

Thank you very much for the explanation, particularly on the subject on "it allows them to concentrate on the cut" I didn't thought about it until you mention it. It's a shame that it's not shown...

Aussieland has come a long way in a very short time. This is simply a great video! You must be so proud. There are so many "knacks" used here, it would take too much space. A lot of people could learn A LOT by watching this. I'm forwarding it to TWO very fine cabinet-makers here in France ; one is French, and the other is a Brit (lovely old boy who had a firm of thirty workers up in London decades ago). I could even smell the sawdust! Cheers from Paris!

I like your workshop.....
it's really easy to make anything

[@nigeldavies8900]

Nicely done and gives you an idea on the work that is required. Often thought that a foot peddle to move the drill press would be a great idea when having to do so many repetitions.
