- Making a walnut step stool, a how to video. In this video I use a dado blade set, a bandsaw, forstner bit, a mitre gauge with my sawstops saw and brass inserts to complete this project. I then sand the pieces with my festool sander and finish with maloof oil (1/3's of tung oil, boiled linseed oil and general finished arm-r-seal).
I love everything about this but I feel like you overthought the wood movement issue. The legs are approximately the same size as the top and of the same wood species, so theoretically they should expand and contract the same. I do love the hidden bolts with plugs over, it makes for a really secure attachment point with the look of rustic traditional pegged joinery. Wonderful stool!
The best woodworking video I have ever watched. Thank you!
Thats too kind - thank you!
Fantastic video, thank you for making it! Especially appreciate you taking the time to go through the steps in detail and explain each one. Seeing both the oversized slots for the bolts explained in theory as well as in practice was particularly helpful.
Right on - thank you for watching
Your doing a excellent job explaining and workmanship. We need more videos like this, thanks for sharing.
That means a lot - thank you!
Amazing job in every aspect. Attention to detail is among the best I've seen.
this was absolutely awesome! I really appreciate the way you explain things and show things. Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching!
Nicely done! Beautiful and functional.
Thank you very much!
Great video. Learned so many tips and you are a great instructor. Love your detailed approach. Beautiful piece of work!
Really appreciate that - thank you
Beautiful stepper! Thanks to your excellent video, I look forward to attempting this project.
Superb, thoughtful design and teaching! One of best woodworking explanatory videos I've seen.
I agree that it may not be necessary to accommodate wood movement here, given that the grain of the top and sides is running in the same direction and it is the same wood species (same original board, even). That noted, I appreciate your teaching of this method for cases where there would be contrasting wood movement. I would think a slightly simpler alternative would be to just use screws, but drill a slightly larger hole in the top to accommodate any movement.
I also loved how you clamped the router in your vise to make a tiny router table - never thought of this!!
Many thanks for the outstanding video.
Thank you!
This was excellent - really enjoyed!

Beautiful job. Very good planning and execution. One thing, where did you get the insert kit?

You have motivated me to make one of your stools. Could you please tell me the size of the brass inserts and where you purchased them. Thank You Beverly
These are 1/2" brass inserts
A little less talk a little more build
Lovely little stool. I cant get my head around why Americans dont simplify measurements 🤦♂️ 1inch and an 1/8 😂 just make it an inch thick!
Like i get it you still use imperial, which is ridiculous in this day and age, but to leave it an inch and 1/8 thickness when the inch is easier and doesn't effect anything whatsoever structurally.
This is exactly why theres a difference between a REAL CARPENTER and all these American nut hobbyists. Tools for everything they can think at all!
You come of as needlessly condescending.
As to why not just make it an inch thick, If the wood is already surfaced to 1 1/8", why create more work just to simplify the math?
