My son is short and can’t reach the sink. I fixed this problem with another project. A simple step stool from basic framing lumber. This is a great project if you want to get into building things. Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy.

The black gives a really nice "I never clean my bathroom" feel.
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.
Can I build this for my big dog to access the bed? π€
How precious your boys is. β₯
Thanks for the awesome video man I made one for my daughter and it turned out amazing. Not going to lie I'm quite short myself so I'll probably end up using it to read the top part of my cabinets haha ππππΎ
I love pocket holes. Easy and sturdy.
I def need to make this for myself π I canβt reach the top of my cabinets
yeah!! I finished my step stool today π such a satisfying feeling to see it in real life. I watched so many videos but this one was my favorite. thanks!!
Simple and practical, sir.
I just subscribed. Thank you for giving dimensions as you worked. I was looking for a quick stool and yours was it
I'm glad you show yourself working through a problem with the legs being uneven. Silly question, but how did you recognize this problem?
Is there a complete cut list?
How Long did you cut the treads.?
I like It! A simple project that does the job well.
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!
Quick and easy! Thanks for sharing….
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…
I think this will be my first project thanks
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.
This is a really good video! I'd like to make one for my dog as she has had many back problems! Awesome job!
Nice job. I really like the finish technique.
