Love seeing kids become empowered to things like this. They love it.

yeah!! I finished my step stool today :) such a satisfying feeling to see it in real life. I watched so many videos but this one was my favorite. thanks!!

I love pocket holes. Easy and sturdy.

I can definitley use this tutorial to make a stool for my babies.

I came across this and decided it would be a great project for my son and I to do together. Thank you for sharing.

+Joe Daniels I'm glad to like it. Good luck amd you're welcome.

Thanks for taking the time to upload this. I have a computer in my workshop with a shelf over the top of it holding my printer and I need this step stool so I can access the buttons on the top panel of the printer. I'm not that short but it's certainly easier when you can actually see what buttons you're pushing.

Love what I learned from using different clamps with Kreg jigs etc. Great instructions!

good job man.your son will remember the stool for the rest of his life.I just subscribed.Keep them coming😎

Great idea. I really like your finish techniques. I wanted to scale this up a little bit longer and higher for a platform bed. Also! Im not gonna use the pocket holes on the treads so that they dont show while looking at it. I think i will just countersink screws and then plug them. Thanks for the inspiration fella!

Oh! I might be able to do this. I need to build some steps for my dog, but I've got a really small car. I think I could transport 2×6 boards in it though! I'll have to add more steps though, and preferably wider... Hm. Darn it XD anyway, thanks for the video!

Quick and easy! Thanks for sharing....

i Made a ramp with some carpet for our dog. He had a disc removed and it works great, less stress with sudden jolts. used 3 1x6" 33" long and jigged them together, Cut corner to corner, that gave me my 2 sides, used 2 1x6", 37" long for the ramp. glued and jigged them together. Mounted to the sides, put some carpet and trim on it and stained. I have 3 of them in the house, they (we have 2 dogs) use them every time.

I'm thinking about building one

nice idea. I made some similar a couple weeks ago. Your dimensions would would great for my wife.

I like It! A simple project that does the job well.

good stuff man..i like how u aged it.looks good ..keep em comin!!

Nice job. I really like the finish technique.

you can use a longer bit for the pocket hole that you had difficulty reaching or you could flip the bench over and the support piece would not be in your way. i always use the longer bit, unless the area is tight...nice job...

On the stepstool diy drill all the pocket holes before starting to put it together. I put the 2 pieces together and the 4 1/2 piece would not fit in my kreg pocket hole jig.

Great video!

Nice build. A labor of love. I need to make one for the very same reason. Mine is 20 months. lol

Very simple and nice

I'm glad you show yourself working through a problem with the legs being uneven. Silly question, but how did you recognize this problem?

@UIDIY

5 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Sometimes I hate how people make things seem like they went flawlessly. I noticed because the leg was wider than the tread, so I knew it would have to pulled back in.

Really like the aging method.

will the cuts/measurements still work if the piece of wood I'm using is 2x 5 1/2?

@UIDIY

Yes, both treads are made of the same piece. And both support/stringers I guess you could call them are the same with just butted together. 2x6s that I used are actually inch and a half by 5 and 1/2.

@UIDIY thanks. Just built it. Came out perfect. I see what you meant by having issue with screwijg in the pocket screws and the cross support being in the way

i'm making this right now and i appreciate this video! One question, when making your pocket holes, i noticed you had some taped distance. How did you calculate this? my jig came with a stopper. I'm new to pocket holes so i just wanted to know.

@UIDIY

3 жыл бұрын

I bought the basic pocket hole jig. So the reason there's tape is to make sure that the setback is right. it was a calculation I made through trial and error but basically you want the tip of the pocket holes drill to poke through the wood in the center. The basic pocket hole jig is designed for three-quarter. So since this was inch and a half I added another 3/4 using 3/4 tape to make sure that the offset would put the screw at the center of the board. Then you just need to adjust the collar on the drill to make sure it doesn't drill too deep

How long did this take you?

i need a stepstool for my 94 years old mom (she's very active lot's of energy pray to jesus every morning for 45 min. To an hour )i don't know anything about wood working but you explain very good ,how far do from the edge do i place the pocktholes (you have a blue tape then you clamped it )is it 1 inch ?(my mom wants to help me make it -mmaybe she don't need me)thank you god bless you and your family.

+Joe Guzman the tape I used is 3/4 wide. I have found this is my preferred distance for screwing 1 1/2 stock (the actual size of 2x4). This will put the screw extiting somewhere near the center of your stock. If you setup is right you can use up to a 2 1/2 screw for attacking 2 pieces (the same size). You need to start doing some math when I'd comes to attaching different size pieces. If you have any other questions please let me know. Thanks for the support and good luck.
