Bought this nice mortise and tenon stool for a few bucks at a thrift store the other day. It's a little loose, but I figured I could tighten it up and use it in the shop. I think I paid $8 for it. Got it home and started really looking at it... It's hardwood, but the tenons are PAINTED on!! I feel cheated. But now I want to remake it...lol submitted by /u/chook_slop [link] [comments]
