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.

Even when the universe tries to tell you not to add the flathead screw, you persevere. I applaud your stubborn gumption.

Rub the screw over a bar of soap before trying to drive it in. It will make it slip right in. But a flathead screw is still bold choice!
The dad jokes... Even the step dad jokes... Awesome.

Jokes? Did I miss something?
"My neighbors front door had some walnut trim, that was only held on by some brad nails and glue. After I cut it down to size..." This guy kills me.
I come for the woodworking, but I stay for the jokes. You're the best.

My three year-old granddaughter commented that "glue is very, very quiet". She also pointed out when he was squaring boards on the jointer that the boards were rectangles, not squares. She's not very impressed with Drew.

My wife was asking me to make a step stool this morning. Great timing. I love the throw away remark about your "neighbours door having walnut trim.....after I cut it down..." 😂
Why are you low key the funniest person on youtube?! It's my stool sample.. 🤣🤣
You had me at "stool sample" 🤎
Your woodworking skills, comedy and filming/editing are all top notch. You are a national treasure, and should have your own woodworking show on tv.

I was never so happy to hear about someone's stool sample. And I must say, it came out excellent!
I may have said this before, but you remind me what KZread Woodworking used to be. A weekend Warrior solving life's issues, one project at a time while incorporating various techniques and design strategies.
The best stool sample I've ever seen!
Never thought I would find a mans stool intriguing, watched the whole video... love your videos, keep on !!!

This is exactly how I felt when my dad introduced me to Drew's videos. 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)
Oh. My. Goodness. The comedy of your builds. If I took a shot for every 'stool' joke, I dont know that I could watch the outtakes!
LOL, stool sample!! Cracked me up. Nice design
I gave you a thumbs up just for not calling a counter bore a countersink. The great video and funny voice over is a given
You make a beautiful stool, not something everyone can claim...
Gotta love them step by step plans.

those sophomoric stool references.... I mean there are kids reading ! watching ! and they're loving them !!! Nice project :) Had a few commenters about flat head screws eh ? lol
getting the plans now...awesome stool you made. You stool maker you.
The combination of dad jokes, poop jokes, and giant spiders are the reason why KZread needs to add a "Love" button.
I just finished the flip top stand, and it works flawlessly. This will be next. Keep up the good work - You're gonna keep me busy......

I recently bought the plans for this and am starting the build this weekend out of 8/4 red oak (that I got from my neighbor, lol) .
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!!!
