My little shop stool has gotten pretty rickety and unstable. It's definitely not safe for me to stand on to get things off my lumber rack anymore. I needed something that would be more stable and be a touch taller. I thought it would be nice to have a shop stool that could also double as a step ladder. With that in mind, I drew up a Fisher's Shop take on a common design for a step stool. This piece features a stable double A-frame designed stool with a nested set of steps that can flip out on an axle. This turned out to be a wonderful little addition to the shop! And with just half-lap and dado joinery, it was a cinch to put together. Check out the video and then pick up the plans to make yourself one of these handy little step-stools.

A+ video, as always, but with all of the stool puns/ dad jokes , I can only rank this as my #2 Drew video.

[@dennisgallaher3640]

Nope just saw the outtakes, that spider is huge!

[@szcustomwoodworks6401]

I had to read this joke 2 times for it to sink in💩

[@Leron...]

Even when the universe tries to tell you not to add the flathead screw, you persevere. I applaud your stubborn gumption.

[@davidwilliams9606]

Rub the screw over a bar of soap before trying to drive it in. It will make it slip right in. But a flathead screw is still bold choice!

[@jnorris8649]

The dad jokes... Even the step dad jokes... Awesome.

[@jimthesoundman8641]

And the A-Team jokes. No one but us old geezers will get those.

[@DARSFoG]

I was honestly waiting for a 'What are you doing Step-Ladder' type of joke.

Jokes? Did I miss something?

[@mcgriffith2727]

Me and wife in bed. Me: sneaks fishersshop on Her:"We're not watching @#$_ing woodworking videos!" Fisher: "...it's my stool sample" Her:*trying not to laugh* "oh alright, but just one"

[@sarahlewis2866]

This is exactly how I felt when my dad introduced me to Drew's videos. He's always telling me some anecdote from a video he's watched that I don't particularly care about (he's disabled so he spends most of his days watching KZbin.) I just happened to be walking through one day and caught one of those silly jokes, and 18 months later, I don't miss a video!

[@adamduerr1203]

@@sarahlewis2866 awesome that you can "woodwork" with your Dad.

[@kieranfoster902]

My wife was asking me to make a step stool this morning. Great timing. I love the throw away remark about your "neighbours door having walnut trim.....after I cut it down..." 😂

[@Bang-C4]

It's like you're a secret agent man. Cover story: highly skilled and experienced woodworker. Actual mission: putting a smile on everyone's face in these troubled times. I say: job well done.

[@adambarnello4703]

I come for the woodworking, but I stay for the jokes. You're the best.

[@keithcorey5535]

Truth!

[@mrBDeye]

Jokes? My doctor asked if my stool is normal.

[@Supermuttt]

Your woodworking skills, comedy and filming/editing are all top notch. You are a national treasure, and should have your own woodworking show on tv.

[@vogonpoet5860]

if he is a treasure does he have to be buried under a big black X?

[@jack8box]

I was watching this while I was on the toilet making my own stool. This stool is more useful than mine!

[@sdbratman]

"Stool sample". I shouldn't have been surprised, but it got me. Head shaking giggle. Again, very entertaining and educational video Drew.

[@georgenewlands9760]

Me too 😉

[@wikapo]

I just want to say that you have viewers in Poland 😉🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

[@TheBengstonWoodshop]

Why are you low key the funniest person on youtube?! It's my stool sample.. 🤣🤣

[@DazedPhasesofLazerbeams]

"My neighbors front door had some walnut trim, that was only held on by some brad nails and glue. After I cut it down to size..." This guy kills me.

[@AndreaArzensek]

I was never so happy to hear about someone's stool sample. And I must say, it came out excellent!

[@abuk44]

You had me at "stool sample" 🤎

[@GordyDhatt]

"If you can make your stool smell good..." Shot coffee out my nose. 😆

[@bluerosedreamer4264]

“How loud glue can be” 😂

[@travisg1759]

So loud.

[@TheDivegeek]

My three year-old granddaughter commented that "glue is very, very quiet". She also pointed out when he was squaring boards on the jointer that the boards were rectangles, not squares. She's not very impressed with Drew.

[@StevenHearndon]

"Titebond IV - Now quieter!"

[@michalcooperman201]

Well now, that’s a ver sticky question.

[@jello1977]

The best stool sample I've ever seen!

[@jdroan]

Great build, how awesome is it you can watch a comedy show, an amazing build, an work health and safety video, and a nature documentary all in 17 odd minutes. Thank you for your efforts!

[@hyperhype1000]

Your sense of humour is on point. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@TheCarpentersDaughterUK]

Had to stop by and say thanks so much for the inspiration! Your dowel idea was really encouraging and had a bit lying around 😀

[@FishersShop]

You are so welcome! I saw your IG post about the version you made. Well done. :)

[@rickmasten6409]

thanks for all the effort with the slotted screw I really appreciate it !!!!!! holly stool what a spider!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bradymcphail9690]

I’m an absolute fan of your channel! Your wood craft is stellar but your comedy/commentary is even stellarerr! My wife is a Thumbalina, she needs a step stool to reach the top shelves in our RV, not to mention everything in out home too. I think your design is perfect for her! I will be heading to your website next!

[@FishersShop]

Thanks 👍 Have fun!

[@jamiegienapp8694]

Drew, once again you have saved me. I have been searching so long for a way to make my stool smell better. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Loved this video, BTW.

The outtakes show the humanity (and spiders) found in every wood shop. Sweet!

Everyone should have a shop spider that size. Enjoyable video. Well done.

Very nice build! That is one stool that I can honestly say does not look like crap! The spider bit at the end was classic! 😂😂😂😂

Thanks, Steve

[@kevincary1]

Great video, as usual. But so glad I stayed for the end. Made it all worth it to see the spider reaction!

[@sarahlewis2866]

Hello from Ohio, Drew! I've been subscribed for about 18 months (though I did just accidentally unsubscribe today, I made sure to subscribe again 😂) My dad is disabled and spends most of each day watching woodworking, outdoor building, camping, metal detecting, car restoration and cooking videos on KZbin. He struggles with some pretty severe depression at his inability to do the things he used to, like work with hand tools, stand at a machine and create, or even something as simple as sleep on the floor of a tent. Woodwork is not really my thing, but one day he convinced me I HAD to sit down and watch this HILARIOUS video he had found, and ever since, we both have never missed an upload from you. Your puns and Dad humor always bring the mood up, no matter what it is to begin with. Thank you for bringing joy, and a few times tears of laughter, to my father, who lives vicariously through you and the other folks he subscribes to. I can't possibly convey how much your content means to us. Also, holy CRAP that is a huge wolf spider!!!

[@FishersShop]

This made my day, Sarah! Thanks so much for sharing and tell your Dad I say Hi. :)

[@FishersShop]

Sarah, if you send me a note from my website, I'd like to get your contact information so I can send you and your Dad something. :)
