This is a perfect project for a confident beginner woodworker. There aren’t a lot of materials and supplies you need and it’s a forgiving project as long as you measure correctly. Building a bar stool is also a great way to save money. You can usually build a great looking stool for much less than you can buy one. There are DIY bar stool plans here for both counter-height (23-28 inches) and bar-height (29-32 inches) and a few sizes in between.
