I kept coming across photos of this step stool plan in the brag pages and felt very envious that I hadn't seen it before I built the other set of steps! So I decided I likely had enough scrap wood lying around I could make one for our upstairs bathroom too!
I used two pieces of pine rough barn board for the sides and for the treads I used 1x4 scraps I had, two pieces that already had an edge routered in them from some trim I did for my sons World Map Mural.
I used my Kreg Jig for everything except the treads which are nailed.
I'm thrilled with it! It's nice and light and easy to move around and holds up my little guy with no trouble!
Estimated Cost
Free! I used leftovers!
Estimated Time Investment
An Hour or Two (0-2 Hours)
Finish Used
miniwax colonial maple rubbed on with a rag, no topcoat. (we'll see how it wears... didn't want a slippery finish.)
