Did your house have a Cracket when you were a kid?

Or wooden stool?
Was there one at your nanna and grandads?

I'm making one just as a little project. Making it out of old scaffy boards.

What's the hole for?

BTW, that's not mine, just for illustration.
The one we had had an oval shaped hole for carrying.
I believe they're a miners kind of thing.
My nannas grandad worked at the limestone mines so i reckon ours must have come from him.

One of the first things we ever made in woodwork and mine also had an oval hole in the top to carry it.

It did, I made it in woodwork at school, it didn’t have a hole though and it wasn’t comfortable, it spent a lot of time in the attic. The hole was to help miners carry it I think

I've got one at home, been passed on by the family, never knew it was called a cracket though, never quite worked out if it was meant to be small table or a stool either
