My little shop stool has gotten pretty rickety and unstable. It's definitely not safe for me to stand on to get things off my lumber rack anymore. I needed something that would be more stable and be a touch taller. I thought it would be nice to have a shop stool that could also double as a step ladder. With that in mind, I drew up a Fisher's Shop take on a common design for a step stool. This piece features a stable double A-frame designed stool with a nested set of steps that can flip out on an axle. This turned out to be a wonderful little addition to the shop! And with just half-lap and dado joinery, it was a cinch to put together. Check out the video and then pick up the plans to make yourself one of these handy little step-stools.

He's always telling me some anecdote from a video he's watched that I don't particularly care about (he's disabled so he spends most of his days watching KZread.) I just happened to be walking through one day and caught one of those silly jokes, and 18 months later, I don't miss a video!

    The Danish word for chair is "stol" and a stool with steps like this one is called "trappestige" (step ladder). And Danish Oil isn't Danish! Just like Danish (pastry) is called "Wienerbrød" (Bread from Wien/Vienna, Austria). If you didn't know, now you do! :D I know my version of this stool/trappestige will be a far less perfect build, but hopefully solid and used a lot and therefore perfect for my shop :D Thank you so much for another great video/build and inspiration (y)

    Hello from Ohio, Drew! I've been subscribed for about 18 months (though I did just accidentally unsubscribe today, I made sure to subscribe again 😂) My dad is disabled and spends most of each day watching woodworking, outdoor building, camping, metal detecting, car restoration and cooking videos on KZread. He struggles with some pretty severe depression at his inability to do the things he used to, like work with hand tools, stand at a machine and create, or even something as simple as sleep on the floor of a tent. Woodwork is not really my thing, but one day he convinced me I HAD to sit down and watch this HILARIOUS video he had found, and ever since, we both have never missed an upload from you. Your puns and Dad humor always bring the mood up, no matter what it is to begin with. Thank you for bringing joy, and a few times tears of laughter, to my father, who lives vicariously through you and the other folks he subscribes to. I can't possibly convey how much your content means to us. Also, holy CRAP that is a huge wolf spider!!!

    I'm a nurse and the stool sample and stool jokes had me in tears laughing. You silly, ridiculous, genius!

    Still have my Dad's stool that looks a lot like the one at the beginning. It's been around for a day or two, I'm 73. Hang on to that stool.

    Thumbs up for the trick used at 8:10. Excellent use of a flush-trim bit and super glue!

    Another fine job Drew. Going to purchase the plans for this stool. I have 3 daughters and will make one for each . Long after I am pushing up daisies I want them to have Daddy`s Stool within arms reach when needed.
