Really enjoyed this project, every piece was made from slabs cut from cedar. Thanks for the plans.

This looks fabulous, thank you so much for sharing!
This was my first project, so I picked one of the easier table plans. Once I learned how to work the miter saw, Kreg Jig & drill, it was pretty easy!
I needed a step-stool in my kitchen to reach in my top cabinets. I'm rather short so I was constantly dragging a chair from my dining table over to find things. I did a google search for a step stool and looked at images. As soon as I saw the picture I knew I had to build it, the retailer selling the original one I saw has a starting price of $270 and goes all the way up to $680! It took me 2 weeks off and on and several times of putting together and taking apart to get Ito the size specifications on the retail website.

Are there plans for this? Looking to make but would like to know what materials are needed

I just used the picture i found online as reference and built it through trial and error. Unfortunately I don't know how to create plans either.I can tell you the legs are 2x3's cut at a 5° angle and the tops are 2x6's. I ordered the drawer slides from amazon for approximately $12 a piece.

Hi, I've been looking for the original image that you used as your model in an attempt to find dimensions to start with, but haven't been able to find it. Could you perhaps remember what brand it was or what site you found it on? If you still have the stool, could you maybe tell me the width of your top step and I could maybe go from there?
Thanks for the picture. This is a brillant idea and exactly what I'd like to create for my kitchen. I'm hoping to be able to use it as a counter height seat as well when I'm working in the kitchen.

Sorry, I haven't been on here in a while so I just saw this. Here is the link to the stool I copied https://www.foreverredwood.com/3-step-wood-stool.html

This is on my list of things to make. Have to sort th shed out first though.
Loved this plan, decided to use it for our living room TV console. Planning to add handles to the crates during a weekend when we have some free time. Very impressed with our final product :)

Love that console in your space, great job and thanks for sharing!
This chair was made off Ana white'smodern outdoor chair with modification to add back support. Without the back support the back pillow would keep falling off. The cushion are 25x25 but very thick for comfort.

What degree angle is the extended back cut. I can't find any instructions on this?
constructed in a similar way to the outdoor sectional, using 1x4's. We used 4 1x4's laminated together for each leg.

What kind of wood did you use? I tried something similar but ended up splitting the wood and had to change the design of the table. This is just what I had originally planned but was unable to produce. It's just beautiful.

We used 1x4 Australian Tallowood (Hardwood) decking timber. All the screw holes were pre drilled and countersunk. Bolts at the top and bottom of the legs to hold them together.
Peggy and I modified this table to be larger, put it together with the help of our Kreg Jig and painted it, with Kaitlyn's help, chocolate on the sides with white interiors and blue on the top. We look forward to making lots of art and being crafty at this table. And making lots of other projects to complete our craft room.
I built this stool for my son of three years. The wood is from Red Alder trees that blew down on my farm a few years ago. I milled the logs with a friend and, while alder can behave badly, I always love working with the wood. The end upright in the image was quite cupped and it cracked when I screwed it down - but it's still rigid and solid. The wood takes an oil finish beautifully! Chose to drill and plug the screws, instead of using pocket screws. Gives it a nice rustic look, and is easy to recoat when a touchup is required.
We removed the legs and added an extra piece to the top to bring the mattress height down.
I have wanted to make Adirondack chairs for some time and loved finding these plans. I use exclusively reclaimed or salvaged lumber for all my projects. The lumber for these came from a fire station being torn down to make way for a newer more modern one. These are now home on the patio of the new station. Love how you make plans that are easy to follow and headache free. Thank you!
I used the plans for Ana's vintage crate cart, but made a few changes. I made my boxes 11"W x 12"T x 15"D. I did not leave spaces between the pallet pieces and added a cheap wrought iron style handle from the hardware store for a pull. I only stained the fronts. I love these drawers!!!
My wife has been wanting cabinets under our bathroom sink.... So, I made plans and gave it a whirl. How did I do? If anyone want plans or more info how I did it feel free to ask.

I'll bet your wife is thrilled. It's always harder to try to build around something you already than to start fresh - but you did a fantastic job.

It wasn't too bad to do... Didn't take as long as I thought it would and tripled storage in the bathroom. I thought it turned out nicer than I thought. My wife loves it. and thank you for the comment!

Yes the cost savings was amazing. and it will hold up and is thicker than anything you would buy in the box stores. I am really happy with all of this. Thank you so much for commenting.
This table is the perfect length for our dining area. Pretty easy to build if you aren't new to building furniture.
Made this sideboard cabinet for my kitchen using the plans for the barn door cabinet. Just modified a bit by hanging the door instead of doing the sliding barn door. Turned out great and I love the look of it. Provides lots of extra storage and counter space in my kitchen.
My wife has been wanting a farmhouse table for our kitchen for a while...so I looked through this site to get some ideas and finally built her one she loves.
My version of the Simplest Stool will a larger rounded edges top.
Keep on building on! This is the second peice I've built for our dining room - built a bar first. I opted to only make 2 pedestals instead of 3 that was on the plans. Dimensions are a tad smaller to fit our room nicely, measuring 90in x 40in. My wife and I absolutely love this table! I used Red Oak for the top and Doug fir for the base. Hardest part was lugging around that dense oak and looking for chairs! The stretcher was also a bit of a task as well. Had to go out a buy a rubber mallet to bang it in enough so that the slack on both ends were even. We particularly like this piece because it will be used often and many memories will be created around this table! Thanks again for the inspiration!
I was asked by my Mother in Law(and when you are asked of anything from your Mother in Law, you do it!) to build a dining room table for my brother in law. She bought all the wood(all Oak), and all I had to do is design and build it. I used your Pub Height table plans and tweeked it a bit. My Single Brother in Law bought a house, and needed a dining room table. It was my first Dining room table build, and learned a lot. Had some trouble with the boards twisting when I screwed them together, but nothing a little sanding took care of. Overall, I am pretty proud of it, and my BIL loves it.
