One indespensable item in any shop needs to be a place to sit and think. Recently I came across an excellently designed stool at http://www.factsfacts.com/MyHomeRepair/stool.htm It seemed like a good idea so one afternoon, I rooted around the shop for 3/4" scrap lumber and came up with the stool shown below. The sides are 3/4" plywood and the top is pine. I didn't have a wide enough board for the top so I ended up doing it out of three pieces using my "easy jointing" method. To ensure a fairly good fit between boards, I just run my circular saw down the joint. It's not perfect, but works fairly well. To stiffen the seat I also put an extra cleat down the middle. A zoom around the top with the round-over bit and it's quite comfortable. To fasten it, I used a combination of 2" screws, finishing nails and glue. It will probably outlast me. Just in case Jim's site goes down, the basic dimensions of the stool are:
