How to Build a Kids Kitchen Stool
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- I made my son and future kids a step stool for him them to safely help mom out in the kitchen. The design is collapsible and easy to store when not in use. You can find plans on my website listed below. The project cost me around $100 CND to build.

wow i love those hinges, you made this thing to last. very sturdy looking.
Exactly what I was looking for! Didn’t even know they had these 😂 great job! Subscribed
Thanks for putting this up. My daughter loves it.
For those thinking of building it, there are a few things/gotchas I learned along the way:
1) you're going to need piano or continuous hinges. I used one 72" that I cut into four pieces to join the corners and 2 30" to join the slats
2) Careful where you route. The piano hinges almost exactly 3/4". If you route the edges where the hinges go, you're going to need to have problems
3) I didn't have a drill press or forstner bits. I used a spade bit that tore out a bunch on the back side. I should have used a sacrifical board
4) Since I didn't have a press, I didn't trust drilling through more than one board at a time. I should have created an MDF template. I'd recommend that if you're in my situation
5) Don't eyeball placement of your piano hinges. I tried that and it came out wobbly the first time. I ended up measuring 1/4" from the top
6) The piano hinges blocked the seat. You may want to consider where you place the piano hinges so that the seat can slide between the hinges. I ended up just cutting mine so it could slide between the piano hinges
7) I used a $40 4'x8' 3/4 sheet of plywood instead with plenty left over. It was easier and cheaper than trying to buy boards.
8) If there's a slight bend in your plywood, it's ok. Just make sure you assemble the legs in a manner so that you're using the cross bars and hinges to pull/push it straight accordingly.
nice build, love your shop. maybe a new router plate for your table. love your shop
great project
Nicely done. Mom and son are going to have lots of fun.
Very Cool!
Thanks for sharing your work and the free plans. Could you please clarify the width of the legs. Thanks in advance.
nice project and perfectly built 👍
+I wood W.W.W thanks
Well done! Like!
Wow
Do you have a lumber shopping list? I Looked at your plans, and had thought you made this from plywood.. But I see that is not the case now.
Hi, great video! Id like to make this for my daughter. Im a complete noob to woodworking so forgive me if my question is dumb but in the plans the curves say R41". What does that mean?
+Aaron Bishop radius of 41 inches
What is the thickness of material?
+Pragmatyczny Przemek 3/4"
Would i be able to still get the plans? I didn’t see them on your website
Under plans then kids plans
Sure would be nice to have a single measurement or instruction so others could build this instead of just watching you do it
Well if you bothered to read the description you would find a link to my website for a free set of plans.
@@DIYBuilds touche. My apologies and thank you for the plans. I feel like the worlds silliest goose
