This Step Stool was cheap, fun, and easy to make. In this video I go over how I made this Step Stool. If you want more pics and a description on how I made this, check out my site over at: www.woodlogger.com/

Awesome stool. I think I will make one similar this weekend. One thing I might do, though, is make the pocket holes on the back stringer on the opposite (back) side so they're not showing from the front. Nice job, and cool project!

Looks amazing yet so simplistic !! I love it ! Can't wait for summer vacation, so I can try my hand at making one ! Thanks :)

[@Woodlogger]

Pal*012 Thanks a lot. If you make one I would love see it

[@gbsmith2455]

I made a very similar stool but at the bottom I cut out a decorative jig so that my stool had four feet. Nice job!

Hey i noticed your hoodie, we pass brown county on our way to church . I really liked your step stool, Im making one for my mom now based off your design. Great work!

[@margaritistakiskailos]

Very nice and handy project!!!

[@Woodlogger]

takis kail Thanks..!

On 4:21 about attaching the veneer to the surface. I've seen some videos that people attached it effortlessly with an iron. Make a test piece and see whether it will works better or not.

Like the pocket holes. May have to get one of those jigs. Warning: Any rag or material with boiled linseed oil on it can catch fire on it's own.

Very nice. Looks great.

J.D. Ransom Thanks

I was just wonder since I've never used edge banding, does it take to stain and paint real well? I notice thing with the banding and it looks like plastic and would not stain.

[@Woodlogger]

tone dawg Seems too. There are a few different brands out there. You may have experiment

[@nrfa6229]

Don’t do the edge banding. Looks stupid! Be creative, and come up with your own ideas, so when ppl see it... You can say that, you came up with the idea, and also created yourself instead of making one like this dumbass!! You can do it! Trust and believe in yourself! Do, create and have something that No one else has. That’s what I do and that’s why I love “Custom stuff.”

Oak plywood is not significantly stronger than any other plywood. The veneer layer is so thin that it provides almost no strength at all. What makes a plywood strong is the core layers, the amount of voids, and the adhesive.

If you have a look at Hyezmar’s design in his Woodworking Bible, you can get a great alternative design for this.

[@MEfromTX]

Just an FYI, there are plans out there for this stool that let's you make one stool with one piece of 1x8x8. It eliminates the need for extra cutting and edge banding. I forget where I found the plans, maybe Ana White but I'm not 100% on that.

[@nrfa6229]

Clint Porter Really?

[@GuysShop]

That came out great Daris! You can also use an iron to apply the edge banding. Just don't let your wife know you borrowed it! HaHa

[@Woodlogger]

GuysWoodshop Thanks Guy...! Yep an iron would definitely work better.

they are nothing without the creg system

[@80cardcolumn]

Actually you use the word 'actually' actually too much. actually.

[@Kuntzie1311]

No one cares.

[@bobmcnally736]

Who actually cares? Actually it doesn’t matter. You are actually very petty. All of my kids when asked a question say actually when they start an answer.
