Ya'll got me inspired. Had some spare sticks of pressure-treated pine and a couple of old broomsticks.
Mine doesn't have to fold up to travel to the back yard, and wanted it rigid cause I weigh almost an eighth of a ton. Figured it could also come in handy as a shop stool.
It is adjustable from 11 inches to 34 inches.
Had in mind a 'rustic design', but it turned out looking kinda midieval. Perhaps some minor mods could do double duty as a miniature seige catapult (grin).
The pressure-treated pine has a green color, and perhaps the pressure-treat process exaggerates the grain. I like grain.
Since the PT lumber had a green color, thought it might be a hoot to stain it Colonial Maple, which has a strong reddish cast. Unexpected contrast. Then lots of glossy floor polyurethane finish.
