First right click on the ground and select build. Then click the ground again and a box appears. Under the objects tab change from a box to a tube.

Select the edit tab and use rotation so that it is standing up. Next use move to pull it up a bit. It may be partially in the ground.

Next change the size of the prim. You can use stretch and change the size that way, I usually change the size parameters. Change the size settings to 1.000 meter each.

Next start cutting the barstool. In the profile cut begin/end. use about.25 for the beginning and about.95 for the ending. Next move up to the hollow tab and begin hollowing. It will begin in the middle and work towards the outer edge.

As the two sides hollow out it will begin to look like a barstool.. This is also a good trick for other projects as well, such as a dumbbell or wagon wheels.

To end this project select the general tab. on the click to: setting select “sit on object”. After the build profile is closed when you click on it your avatar will sit. Congratulations you have just built a 1 prim barstool.
