Pattern to build a singer sewing stool ?
Does anyone know of a source for a pattern to build a singer sewing stool? My web search didn't yield anything.
I'd like to build one to match the Singer 71 cabinet
http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...ny/71_cab.html.
I do have the stool that matches the # 42 cabinet http://ismacs.net/singer_sewing_mach...ny/42_cab.html , but I'd rather have a pattern than have to think and figure in reverse, with an item that isn't an exact match. And my woodworking experience is...limited.
The stools aren't found often around here. I have seen repro ones at a sewing shop, but these didn't appear to be made out of hardwood. DH has a good selection of ash and elm that can be used.
Thank you!

As near as I can tell the cabinet in the link you posted is Mahogany. Other woods, even with stain, won't match well.
I doubt anyone has drawn up a set of plans for it. The Singer stools I have are both pretty much the same height and size so you can base your stool on those measurements.
If you're lucky maybe a member here has one and will give you some detailed measurements.
