You have taken a step in the right direction with this project. It is a nice easier project for people getting started in woodworking. Keep making these wonderful videos.
I love the way you make your wood plugs, I use the same process except I like to fill up the scrap piece of wood with cut plugs and save them for another project. I know the grain pattern may not match on the next project sometimes you get lucky, but they work good on painted projects. Good job on the step stool.
Also another way to prevent the tear out with that forstner bit is to drill a 1/8" starter hole on the bottom before drilling all the way through on the top. It does the same as if you was to scribe a line on veneered plywood before cutting it, it prevents tear out. Just a little tip. Ive watched a few of your videos and am subscribing. Its nice to see more women putting up videos of woodworking. Nice work you do. Hope you keep it up.
and you can use just pegs only you dont need screws i know its to keep it more secure but really its a better finish with just all wood especially since its hand made ppl will appreciate it alot more i love what you do thnx for the share
Thanks for the comment Glenn. My friend gave me plans that he created and sadly they aren't available anywhere yet. I'll let you know if I can get him to post them. 😀
My father in law built a very similar stool for his wife and daughters. Very sturdy design. He passed on without me getting his plans and now I want to make stools for my daughter and grandchildren. Where can I find these plans?
That's really cool. What a fun thing to pass on. I'm trying to get my friend to publish his plans but sadly he hasn't yet so I don't have plans to pass on. I'll try to find some similar plans for you 😊
Nicely done! Very interesting video 👌 I didn't understand though, why you cut one board at 14 degrees, and its perpendicular board at 10 degrees. Doesn't it make more sense to cut both boards at the same angle? Another question - did you also cut the upper face of the base in a 10 degree angle, to make the upper board parallel to the gound?
The 10 and 14 were on the plans I was given and I honestly didn't give it much thought until the boards didn't line up. I suspect the compound angle is the reason - for the short edges the 10 degree lean coupled with the 10 degree side lean compound to a slightly larger angle. Because of the mismatch it's probably slightly less than 14 but I'm not that good at math. If you build it with the same angle let me know how it turns out.
@@AroundtheHouse I realize this is a 2 year old post. I am looking at building this for my grandson. Just my quick input on the angles. The 10 degree angle on the small piece is due to the 10 degree angle formed by the larger perpendicular piece and the top of the stool. This is the cut you produced with the table saw. I have not answered the question fully but this is the reason for the inner piece to have a 10 degree angle. Not sure why the other is 14 degrees.
Wish i had all those tools i just made my stool useing a hand saw a chisel a drill and a screw driver .took me longer but still ok and im over eighty .
@@AroundtheHouse My stool turned out so good i was asked to make a stool for a caracan that turned out better the old lady can getin and out of her van safetly now ,

David you’re the best. Thanks for the support. 😀
Excellent work!
Thank you!
You've done a very good job.Thanks for sharing.
thanks. actual board sizes and cuts would be helpful.
I’ll work on those, thanks for the reminder

Good job on the step stool.
That's a great idea, I should do that just to save time. See this is why this wood working community is so great. 😀

That's a great tip Matt, I really appreciate you commenting as it helps everyone wanting to build something like this.
Nice job and it looks solid!
Thanks Ken 😀
Great job girl! The life size plans are great. G'day from Australia. A part of it that's not on fire, yet!
So glad you're in a safe area but so sad to hear about the destruction. Thanks for the comment Robert 😀
Great project and thanks for the video. Looks like you finished that in no time at all. I would have been out of paper towels for a week!
🤣
jeez all that just to clean a spill omg thats so cute! lol your awesome
🤣🤣

I was wondering about that. Great feedback, thanks.
So cool well done
Thanks so much 😀
Wow , nicely done absolutely more better than mine 😢 !
Thanks, oh no, this video is meant to inspire you, I'm sure yours is amazing. Happy building 😀
good build!!
Thank you 😀
Great video! Could you please share where you got the plans. I so want to build it but I’m kind of a plan person.

Answer to second question - yes I cut both the top and bottom edges at 10 degrees.
