Build a Shaker Step Stool - Introduction to Fine Woodworking Project!

[@gwenlilly333]

All KZbinrs need to watch your videos for how to make a great KZbin video because you are straight to the point, no rambling about this or that, your videos are filmed in the best way, all your directions are concise and clear and you are full of a lot of helpful information to help any kind of artist. Thank you for your channel. I am a canvas artist who is wanting to up my production and that means my framing needs are greater and I just watched your video from 6 years ago. Very helpful! Thanks!

[@timblackwood1531]

Nice job and good filming with no silly music..... 👍👍👍😎

[@stevensakic4342]

Thanks Steve! Definitely! Hey there’s a comment by someone named Chris HB that you could probably answer better than me… take a look when you have a minute.

[@uknowulikethat4042]

Nice save on the old cabinet, stool looks great

[@moneymakingmikeg.9555]

Great way to repurpose the cabinet top Jon. Stool came out nice a classic with a modern vibe. Project ONE of your promise of 28 furniture builds for this year!!!! LOL, I kill myself Bro. Hoping all is well, Dirty Jersey out!!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Ha ha 😂 thanks Mike! … that’s number 1 … 9 more to go by December 30 .

This is really nice starter woodworking project. It looks really nice. The 5 degree taper was a great idea. Great job, Jon!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Tom

[@idontthinkso666]

I like how you approach this more as a conversation, how you approached it, and making decisions along the way. That's how many of us work, too. I like the 5 degree taper, but not the overhang. Loved the dovetails. I would have mortised the lateral support into through tenons in the sides and made a central slot in the top to fit a hand vs. two teeny finger holes. The cherry was gorgeous. I think I'll go make a stool. Thanks for the motivation, Jon!

[@sapelesteve]

That step stool turned out great Jon! We all make those little mistakes along the way! Making things is just part of the overall learning process! Thanks for those plans! 👍👍😉😉

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Steve

[@BruceAUlrich]

The stool turned out beautiful...especially for such a utility project. Love that you were about to repurpose that cherry. I've not used the combo of sapele and cherry before...I like it!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great work on the dovetail step stool Jon! Thanks for sharing the video with us💖👍😎JP

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks JP!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Your very welcome Jon! Have a great week!😎

[@makermark67]

Beautiful little project and i have to say, some of the reasons I like your videos are... 1. Direct communication, not a lot of fluff. 2. If there's a mistake, you share it for us to learn 3. Part of the enjoyment of building, creating, making is doing it as you think about it in real-world time. Not everything has to be from exact planning. Thanks for all you do.

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Great to hear! Thanks Mark

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful little stool, Jon! 😃 Fantastic work!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@2979paul]

I like it the overhang adds a unique look

[@rickcimino743]

I really like your style and technique in the shop. Thanks for putting this together.

[@wolfman75]

Great project!!!! Thank you Jon!!!! 😀😎👍🤘

"I must have done something to not have done the right thing." Words to live by.

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Like that 7 degree jig Jon!

[@markfishburn8284]

Thank you for sharing your video, I really haven't tried dovetails yet. I will watch your other video about how to make the table saw jig. Thank you again.

[@jean-lucmaurin761]

Like before watching... As usual.. Many thanks from France.

[@TorresSidney]

That's awesome!!

[@adrianlouviere7650]

Very nice. Thanks

[@StanFerris]

Thank you, Jon! I don't like using a metal router dovetail jig (tried two or three brands), and don't always have the motivation for handsaw and chisel, so I should give your method a try. Isn't woodworking all about dealing with little goofs along the way? As always, a very inspiring session in your shop!

[@TommyAlanRaines]

For me this is just a classic farm house step stool with a little flair!

[@wiseoldfool]

Looks like a great practice piece. I just watched your jig build as well. I've tried a router jig, but I got too much blowout when using plywood. This method should work fine with plywood. I'll give it a go, I'll use my scroll saw until I get a bandsaw. Why would anyone make dovetails in plywood? Well, why not practice making dovetails when building essential shop furniture? Also I was very surprised that I can get Bloxygen here in Australia, and it's not expensive! I'm definitely going to give it a go. I've had problems with varnish and Danish oil forming a skin. It should also save PVC cement from setting hard in the container! It seems to me it will save me both money and time.

[@dennisdickson6210]

Cool project.👍

[@pmdinaz]

Fantastic!

[@danyodice1048]

Cool build you make it look so easy...🤘🤘

[@woodshopnerdery]

Love seeing a project build! Very nice results. I was curious if you are worried about the top overhang splitting off along the grain direction under foot? I was thinking that some dowels or pegs sunk perpendicular to the grain direction along the face could add some insurance. Also, with some contrasting woods could add a style element.

God bless you and your nation.

The download for your plans does not work for me. It just spins and spins. I tried this morning and this evening. Thanks

[@arbyars.chicksawdust]

@@JonPetersArtHome I guess I didn't explain well. I put in my name. Then I put in my email. Then I push the red button. Then the web page spins and spins. After 30 min the first time and 15 min the 2nd time I stopped it. Sorry.

[@tonyknightsecreto8338]
