Transform Your Workshop: DIY Sit & Step Stool Build

[@leonardbutler9338]

Hi Colin. Thanks for the idea and inspiration. I think I might build one of these. I already have a shop stool (online purchase) but I get visitors to my shop and it would be nice to have a second. Also, I keep a one-step stool in the shop to reach the blast gates of the split of my two-zone dust collection system. It's just below ceiling level. If I build the stool as you did, I can eliminate the low stool. Thanks for the content over the years. Be safe in the shop!

[@knecht105]

Perfect, let me know how it goes

[@dellleedia3683]

Great knee health there sir..Cheers!! Thanx for the great combo idea.

[@knecht105]

I didn't even think of that when building, but you are absolutely correct!

[@mwrcrft]

Nice combo

[@tielkgate]

Nice! Well done Lowell

[@MCsCreations]

Really beautiful work, Colin! It looks fantastic! 😃 Nicely done! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@knecht105]

thanks buddy

[@a9ball1]

Thanks, now I have yet another thing to build. Just can't get a break. Work, work, work. 😊

[@mikahl757]

Nice, also optional back as well for a chair in sitting position and stability in stepping position.

[@knecht105]

Hmm ... didn't think of a back, good idea maybe a version 2 down the road

[@cabman86]

That's a gorgeous piece of maple!

[@knecht105]

thanks

[@daved8070]

This is a great idea, I have a separate stool and small step ladders for some high shelfing - wish I had thought of this!

[@knecht105]

You could still make one and save some space :)

[@Erik_The_Viking]

Nice stool. I like the seat on top.

[@henrysara7716]

Thank you Colin.

[@knecht105]

[@Bdbrad71]

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Nice build

[@knecht105]

Thanks!

[@gregmize01]

love this

[@knecht105]

thanks, it working out nicely I must say

[@Thiagarajah1]

Great idea. May I hv the plan measurements?

[@danyodice1048]

Awesome Colin quick and easy...🤘🤘🤘. What are the dimensions roughly.

[@QODQDJQ3232]

Can take a look at our kunlun tooth saw blade, single saw blade up and down without bursting edge🎉

[@Luigi4950]

Hi Colin how's it going with that incra miter I have one and it's not cutting a true 45 degree how would fix that so it cut true ??

[@joeobrien196]

Maybe you could fit a clip to lock the seat in the up position to act as a sort of hand hold.

[@knecht105]

Hmmm good idea, any suggestions on that??

[@cabman86]

Great build! I think the dowel holes were a tiny bit too big. I do mine with a smaller drill bit so they have to be hammered in.

[@weldabar]

The dowels he uses for the test fit are undersized, and have been sanded down for ease of use. They are not the same as the dowels he used for final assembly (not shown in video). He mentions that briefly here, but has talked about it at length in other videos.

[@WaltersMGM]

Question gentlemen: What is the device used on the table saw? looks to be a self feeding straight edge jig for the table saw, but i can not find the product

[@bernieluciow8085]

Are the legs etc. made from 1” lumber?

[@knecht105]

No, they are 3/4" x 2"

[@MurrayRose-j5c]

I'm curious as to why the side of the steps are wider than the legs. what is the advantage?

[@knecht105]

Just for the look, which in the end I was not all that thrilled with

[@daveknecht5252]

Hey nice! And nice to see you add your lovely wife! :) Can you tell us what you used for the padding for the stool top ? Also, was it covered with leather or vinyl?

[@knecht105]

The padding is just a firm foam that is used for lounge chairs and the top is only vinyl, It's a workshop stool so I wanted a fabric that would be easy to clean ... you know, in case I want to eat a burger in the shop from the Crow & Gate

[@joeobrien196]

Would that be a step stool?
