  • This video describes a good beginner woodworker project - The step stool. I discuss the strategy for building each part and demonstrate primarily with hand tool woodworking, but I also use some power tools. I show several different variations made from quarter sawn oak, red oak, walnut, and maple.

    I've been making tons of these recently for our little boy to be able to get up onto chairs, use the bathroom etc. I like this design so I might try it, no domino joiner so I'll probably just use a couple of dowels. Thanks for the video!

    • @builditnotes7551

      Dowels should work if you use two of them to prevent rotation of the rails. Instead of a domino joiner, I have also hand cut the tenons as I do in the plans on Etsy. Here is a video on hand cutting tenons czcams.com/video/KXoCV_fyUiY/video.html . It was my first video, so no music and I was brief. But I do enjoy hand cutting them and then using a shoulder plane or rabbet plane to trim them to the size of the mortise.

    So excited by all the hand tool work in this video, I gritted my teeth when I saw the tablesaw, and then you hauled out the Domino. Still, a nice video.

    • @builditnotes7551
      @builditnotes7551  Před rokem

      About to start making videos again. Will try to use as many hand tools as possible, because I enjoy them. However, I will occasionally use power tools and even a CNC Router.

      Please start making your videos again, and when you do, treat us to an explanation of your choice of wood (and style of cut) and especially of your hand tools. I especially enjoy watching you craft the Arts and Crafts style products.@@builditnotes7551

  • @gerry3999

    Like the simple design and clean look. A quick question for anyone and everyone. Why not cut the legs at a 5 degree angle to make them lean towards the center? Would it not make the stool just a bit more kid friendly for sitting or climbing on? I plan to go on a scrap wood hunt later today to see if I can find some wood to make some of my own. Nice inspiration. Thanks.

    • @tommccurnin524
      @tommccurnin524 Před rokem +1

      The morise and the tenon shoulders would have to be angled. That is a little tricky but definitely doable.

    I'm new to this so what kind of saw is used to cut mortise in rail? Is thhat a domino?

    • @builditnotes7551
      @builditnotes7551  Před rokem +1

      I used a tenon saw. Sometimes also use a carcass saw. Most of my nicer saws were from Lie Nielsen. I did use loose tenon, made by a Festool domino, on the rails. Have also just cut tenons instead on some step stools.

      Yeah, its a Festool Domino, a relatively pricey tool. Dowels or biscuits might work.

      Details plans are offered here plans are on Etsy at this link @t If you just want basic dimensions, they are 8"x13" step and the geometry of the base is changed to match the step stool height.
