diyforknucklehe... How to make a stool from recycled wood. The rustic wooden stool l’m making in this video is dual purposed. Initially it’s for a child but it can also be used as a step stool. I made this stool from hardwood fence palings but you could also use pallet wood. It’s a very simple stool to build and should only take a couple of hours or so to make.
To finish the stool off l give it a rustic paint job and then seal it with a clear varnish.

• How to Make a Stool. R...
Hi jurgen! I made your stool / table. First proper DIY build i have ever done. I am pumped! Epic. Thanks for leading me in to this. This missus is well impressed. Cheers mate! Got to das, off to the De Walt shop before they shut! Happy Daze!
😂😂....G'day Ian.....Well done on the stool mate....may it be the first of many projects 👍😁🇦🇺
Great and easy idea there, Shane, thanks. I think I may just ramp this up, add a bottom shelf, and make a pair of nightstands for the Misses & I.
I looked through/hunted for a video on making a simple stool that didn't involve angles or fancy cuts, and looked and looked. Finally found yours! Thank you! Your design is exactly what I had in mind, very straight forward, aesthetically pleasing, sturdy, and potentially adjustable to any size. I can't wait to go through my wood stash and get started! Thank you again!
Thanks for that Tomara! Glad you found the video👍👍....and good luck with the stool!....let me know how you go. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺
I like these stools, Uncle Knackers. I've watched this video a few times, but no matter how many times I view it......there is never a Dad Joke. I'm disappointed, but I still enjoy watching.
Stay safe, my friend.
😂.....That oldie was in my Pre Dad Joke Era 😂 Glad you watched it a few times....much appreciated 👍😁🇦🇺
Love the simplicity, yet great look of this stool. Exactly what I was looking for. I made mine 23 inch in height for my mom in her bathroom. Very sturdy and will be easier for her to get up, being she is 96. Added a cushion and a shelf on the bottom. Turned out beautifully. Thank you so much for posting your video.
My pleasure Holly! Glad you liked it 👍😁🇦🇺
Thanks Uncle Knackers, for another fast a neat little project. I made a little pallet table using your design for the yard and the camp fires. Always need small table to put my drink and snack, while watching the scraps burns.
Have a good one, John.
Thanks John. There's nothing better than sitting around a fire watching it burn while you have a can or two. This little stool would be perfect. Cheers mate
Nice builds! A cool feet-chah (hey--I'm tryin'!) is a handle to make the stool easy to pick up and move: leave a 1" wide slot between the boards in the center of the stool's top. It allows your fingers in so you can easily one-hand it when you need to move it.
Good tip! Thanks for that and also for watching 👍😁🇦🇺
Looking to make a stool for a friend and this is now the design for me.
That's great Stuart! Good luck with it 👍
Well it's made and friend really happy with it. Others have seen it and want one.
Just looking at some old projects I missed. Everything you do is really stylish Shane and you always make me smile.I hope Channel 7 snapped you up to put your shows on the telly. Best wishes mate!
Hahahahaha....that'd be good Bruce 🤞🤞🤞 Thanks as always for watching mate 👍😁
Those stools are amazing! I just started watching your videos and I'm so impressed with them all. I'm a beginner at working with wood but I'm going to give this project a shot, I think my daughter would love it. Thanks again for your videos!
My nephew is just about that age to need a step stool, great video as usual. Take care
Thanks Jason. Have a good one mate.
Hi Shane: excellent little pallet project, both stools were great, though I think I prefer the natural look with the varnish, keep them coming mate, Cheers Harry
Thanks Harry. Have a good weekend mate.
Definitely a WAY better colour choice with the white Vs the green IMO. Nice shade of green, but the white just goes better against the dark fence pales.
As always, a top job Shane! ! ! !
Thanks Richard. Appreciate the comment mate and if anyone is reading this comment make sure you check out Richards woodworking Channel…it's a rippa! Here's the link. ua-cam.com/users/Trende1978
Cheers
Cool, Thanks Shane! Kind words indeed! Cheers mate!
***** No worries mate
"Whipper snipper" made me smile, across the pond we just say weedeater. Im going to call it whipper snipper now!
:-)
Excellent video! I used the plan to make outdoor coffee tables. I just changed the dimensions - legs to 16 inches, frame also 16 inches (keep the measuring down!) and top boards 20 inches. I dispensed with the lower stretchers altogether. Worked great!
Good work Ross! Glad you liked them mate and thanks for taking the time to watch!.....much appreciated 👍😁🇦🇺
I LOVE those stools! Oh my goodness the painted top came out so cute after the”mistake” that really wasn’t. The colors came out perfect. I’ll be trying this project. Thx so much. 🥰
👍😁...Thanks Alicia!....glad you liked them 👍😁🇦🇺
Simplicity,, few tools, afternoon project, things are stepping up,, very well done Boss,
Thanks Lee 👍😁
Just made my version. It turned out fantastic!
Thanks SO MUCH for sharing your knowledge Shane!!
Great tip Knackers!
Hahahhahaha...good stuff Stewart. Glad you liked the video and well done on your project! Cheers 👍👍😁
Hi Shane as usual from you great project and video, I think though I prefer the natural look with the varnish, but both projects were great to watch.
I always think it's amazing what you make out of fence palings and pallet wood.
Cheers.
Barry from England.
Cheers Barry.
I was hoping for a picture at the end of a stool covered in grass clippings. Now that would be ultra-rustic.
+wellofbeersheba LOL…l should have done that :-)
Nicely done! I like the simplicity of it and the final paint job was the perfect touch!
Thanks Drumavenger. Thanks for watching and for the comment. Cheers
Looks easy enough even I could do that.
I'm sure you could Bec. Cheers
Greetings from Greece. This is Crete island and thank you for your vids

I've been looking for a new project and this looks like a great 'beginners' start. Thanks
Natalie Aylott It's real simple Natalie. Have fun with it. Cheers :-)
Hi; just curious about there being any functional benefit to cutting away a small degree of the inner legs of these projects, other than a design/cosmetic preference? You're very creative!
Dear Uncle Knackers, I recently found and subscribed to your channel and I find it both entertaining and educational. Every time I pass by a commercial area I see mountains of pallets and I'm happy to see someone find creative ways to repurpose them. I only wish your videos were a little closer together. Thanks for sharing.
G'day Rudy, l'm glad you like the vids and thanks for the sub. It's much appreciated. Cheers
While I was waiting, I just quickly knocked up this house
Hahahahhaahha...Yeah l had a bit of spare time on my hands so.....you know.....why not build a house 😁
Very nice job Shane. Beautiful!
Thanks Sixxxxpack. Much appreciated mate. Cheers
simple but very effective Shane. I'm a new subscriber and will get through your vids eventually. Will need to get a few more tools ie nailgun, mitre-saw etc. Keep up the good work mate as it's good to watch and a bit of fun also . cheers

Gracias por ver a Juan y me alegra que te haya gustado! Aclamaciones
Love your simple designs!
Thanks for watching Grace and l'm glad you enjoy the vids! Cheers 👍😁
Love the way you do your recordings top tip knackers
Thanks Andy.
Shane, quit making it look THAT easy. I couldn't even cut straight let alone get it to turn out like that.
That circular saw 101 vid would come in handy!
Looks great...
Thanks for that Chuck. Appreciate the comment mate.
thanks
+Victor Cunanan No worries Victor. Cheers
super video again! try to make a wardrobe some time!
Thanks mate…mmm that would be a good project. It goes on the list. Cheers .
your vids always makes me happy shane! thanks for the share
Much appreciated Tee Giang. Thanks for watching. Cheers
Really appreciate this.
I found the cutting list very confusing though.
8 (leg parts) @ 260mm
2 strips @ 270mm
2 strips @ 240mm
I gather that doesn't include the "side braces", for which measurements or anything apart from putting them on, aren't mentioned? They look less than 55mm, so they seem to be a complete mystery really - or did I miss something?
Nor are any measurements mentioned for the actual seat - and since it extends outward from the legs, it would be important to note?
I just found this vid here and I agree with you. I've played the vid over and over to find the same thing because I was missing it too what you just mentioned.
With these type of vid's it would be nice if there was a cutting plan with each vid.
I hope he can still write it down here below the vid, because it isn't anywhere either in the replies he gave to some.
Very nice. i liked it green ;-)
Thanks Artur.
Sei un grande
Ti seguo sempre
Grazie Antonietta, felice che ti piacciano i video e grazie per aver guardato fino in Italia! In realtà sto andando in Italia, a giugno, che non vedo l'ora di fare. Dovrebbe essere un bel viaggio! Saluti 👍😁
@@diyforknuckleheads vieni in Sicilia noi abbiamo "Trenasse case vacanze" ci trovi su facebook .
Ti seguo sempre mi piace quello che fai è meraviglioso il tuo dono.
Thank you for your idea for making a simple and strong stool from pallet wood.
Giving a coat of paint to the stool top and clear varnish to the rest of the stool was not a good idea. You should have used the clear varnish for the entire stool like you did for the step stool.
Great!
Thanks Ricardo
Great job shaneconlan1 - I love the way your pieces look
Thanks David.
it's so simple and so awsome, i realy like this stool! cheers mate!
Thanks for that Sebastian. As the old saying goes, 'simple things are often the best'. Cheers mate
Hipsters would pay top dollar for the little step stool mate!
Thanks Mario :-)
I Love this projects! !! Parabéns. ...
Thanks Marcelo 👍👍😁
just found you. great stools
+Karla Piacentini Glad you like them Karla :-) Cheers
great tip knackers!
Cheers mate :-)
I wish I could work that fast
+kg4bga Just drink more coffee. Cheers mate :-)
Hi Shane. Superb video. My boy has been wanting a wee stool or chair for his room. I have stacks of pallet wood. Can you guess what I'm building today. Ta much bud
Thanks Stephen. Good luck with the stools. Cheers mate
Great work, thank you!
Glad you liked it Jacqueline 👍😁
How do you like that Passload nail gun?...I'm thinking of ditching the compressor for small jobs like this.
very impressed !Uncle knackers. DO YOU HAVE THE SIZE OF SMALLER OF STEPPING STOOL? I am a beginner.
Lol! Handy and funny, keep it up.
Thanks Stinsey. Glad you liked it. Cheers :-)
Hi, thanx for beautiful work but I have no idea what all those tools were. Was that a nail gun or was it screws? Also why the glue before the initial put tog on the legs? Is it just to hold it in place? I will rewatch to see what I missed but being a neophyte I just couldn't grasp how I could do it. I have a drill, recip saw, chop saw but no table saw so I don't think I could get the 2" for the legs. love both of them paint looks great you are a gr8 combo of showmanship, display, teaching and camera work. Is someone else running your camera? What camera? I am looking for one but haven't begun the research. Thanx so much, subscribed already.
Hi Barbara. Yeah that was a nail gun and l always glue and nail. It just gives that bit of extra hold. In regards to the camera, all l use is my iPhone 5 and l put it on a tripod so l can do it all myself. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate your support. Cheers
Well done uncle knackers. Again another easy project to follow with your great instructions..By the way what brand of matt varnish do you find the best for your projects. kEEP IT UP GREAT INFO
Thanks Owen. I find Bondall, Clear Satin Varnish to be the go. It's oil based, well priced and the finish is pretty good. Cheers mate
This is awesome! and simple thanks a lot, mate!
No worries Fjcanchola. Glad you liked it. Cheers
Love it brilliant idea :)
Awesome as always! The little step stool looks really cute, I'd paint it in pink or light blue for the kids. Very handy stuff..
What about some little shelf? :)
Appreciate that EdgarsModelling. A shelf would be a good idea. I'll add that to my list. Cheers
Hello. I really like your projects because of the simplicity and the wonderful end product. I have a question on the nail gun you use. What are the specs. I am planing to get one but I am not sure which one will work. Thanks.
G'day mate and thanks for the feedback....much appreciated. My gun is from Paslode. It's a 16 gauge Bradder and works really well for my projects. In actual fact, a lot of professional contractors use the same gun. It's slightly pricier at $760.00 (Australian Dollars) but in my opinion it's worth it as you just don't get the power and performance from cheaper models....in my opinion. Good luck👍
Ha ha, KNACKERS!! In the UK knackers are a slang for the man spuds.
Hi Uncle Knackers, you are the first You Tuber that I have actually subscribed to! Loving watching your posts as I am rediscovering my love for woodwork and you just make it look so easy and fun ( and you also remind me a bit of uncle Arthur from the comedy company lol). Anyhow, off track, but I was wondering what the nail gun was that you use in your videos?
Hi Sarah. Thanks for the comment and for the sub. It's much appreciated. The gun l use is a Paslode. It's a pretty good gun. If you get one, make sure you use only Paslode gas cartridges. Cheers
Nice! Wish I was this original :-(
Thanks MyKhata.
Another Top job uncle Knackers !
One question though : Why did you need to use the grinder?
I dont know what you were grinding.
Rick White nails
rewatched and i guess I need to buy a nail gun but still have other questions iike what is the grinder/spark thing doing? thanx for your time.
The spark thing was me grinding off the nails that had come through the other side of the wood.
Thank you! Another question though : Why did you need to use the grinder? I know I like your rustic look, I like the green color though! Keep the vids coming!
+querida1809 Mate l used the grinder to cut off the nails that were poking through. Thanks for watching. Cheers
Congratulations.. it's a good job.. Can you give me the sizes for the small one.. thank you
great video, thanks
No worries David. Glad you liked it. Cheers mate
what angle are you cutting the legs ? keep up the good work
Hi Sharon. I don't really have a set angle as your cut will change in accordance to the width of your stool leg. Just run some lines on the leg and see what you think suits. Good luck! 👍
Just an FYI - Don't know if you actually use that 30 second cleaner, but if you look at the ingredients you will see that all it is - is really expensive bleach. Yep, the same stuff you do your laundry (whites) or whatever with. $30 a gallon vs. $3 a gallon hmm, hard choice there.
A caterpillar?! ;)
Need to get me a nail gun, been putting it off for ages.
