I'm going with Doret on this one.
Walk to the local hardware store and purchase a CHEAP BUT USABLE HAMMER, and a CHEAP SAW. As well as two sheets of sand paper, to smooth the splinters of any wood you might come by. Begin crafting a STOOL LEG imitating the leg's of your horrid stool. Then see if it would be possible to attach the leg to the stool.
Jogging and walking like you've never done before, you make your panting way into a hardware store, just opposite the Supermarket. And on your way there, you feel like your heart won't explode right now... Maybe in a couple minutes though.
FITNESS: Mildly unfit
You walk in and have a look around for a CHEAP BUT USABLE HAMMER,a CHEAP SAW and SANDPAPER. You find both and take them up to the counter. The man looks up at you from a phone he is texting off and says "Hey, your that guy that filled in for Jack, right? Man, I ow you one. Here, i'll give the hammer free." Grinning like a madman, you pay $10 in coins, for the saw and a $5 note for a meter of sand paper. Just before you leave, you realise that a pack of nails might be a good idea. You rush back in and pick some up. You quickly run up to the counter but the mans already engrossed on his phone again. "Yea, go ahead. Take them. I'll put it on my tab." You decide to ease back and walk home, leaving jogging for another time. By the time you get back, 1 and a half hours later, your feeling a tad stiff from so much exercise. Once you've looked into fixing your HORRIBLE STOOL, maybe some warm down exercises would be a good idea.

As you walk into your garage, you realise you have nothing to sit on whilst carving the leg. Finding nothing, you decide that the old computer monitor will have to do. Sitting lightly on the monitor, you flick through the DIY book of house renovations to look for any advise. You find a part that explains that not wearing gloves during wood crafting is the best way to get bleeding hands. Thank goodness you have those supply gloves. Putting the book down, you go over to the chair and drag it over. You then sit it in front of you, whilst you look at the shape of the legs. Nodding slowly, you get the small gas heater and use it to hold the 2by4 in place, slotting the wood through the grills. You then twang the saw with your finger and get to work.
3 hours later...With a loud sigh of relief, you drop the saw. Its done. And well. It looks like crap. But its a start. You pick the leg up and decide against smoothing it out yet. Best to check if it matches. As you compare the legs, you realise yours looks much worse, its slightly to high and the bottom isn't quite straight. You could sandpaper it to size, you say to yourself. You then check if its possible to connect the leg. Shock horror. The top isn't carved right! As you peer at the underside of the stool, you realise small holes are needed to be placed in the leg, along with two wooden pins, which are already glued to the table. Annoyed, you think to yourself "Maybe.... I wonder if a nail is the right size." You decide to give it a shot.
1 hour later...With a sigh of relief, you let the hammer drop out of your hand. It is done. You found out that the nail was
NOT the right size and as such, you had to pound the nail around the sides a few times. Make that lots of times. But now, it is finished. All you require now is some super glue, as nails wont be able to reach. You also realise its 9:20. To late to get some glue. You also realise, that your so hungry, you could eat the wooden leg.
