New Step Stool
I made a step stool from scrap cherry for my kid so he can reach the
bathroom sink! Only one major flaw, but it's in the back! :) Should last a few years I hope. http://www.garagewoodworks.com/projectspage2.htm Stoutman --- www.garagewoodworks.com Also Posted on pictures.woodworking |

Was a time nice pieces like that were treasured for generations, hope that can be the case for you. It's obvious a lot of hard work has gone into your projects. Hope you get the dovetailer, but it was ingenuous how you got around it, drawers look nice and joints look neat and sturdy. |

I like that! Quite a bit, in fact. Thank you! Make 800 of them. Every Montessori mom in your area will be happy to plop $ 175.00 for one of those. Not a bad idea. I have thought about looking into selling on ebay, but I have yet to try it. |

I have been using the reinforced rabbett joint that I picked up from Swingman from this NG a few years ago. |

(The braces that prevent the lids from slamming down). |

I've been thinking about plans for a 2-step stool that you can move without bending down and picking it up. Something with a long handle coming up one side that you can use for a bit of balance, and to maneuver the stool around - maybe casters under the side with the handle. For some reason I think I thought I might have seen one of them somewhere. IAE, if anyone has any idea of what I'm talking about please let me know! JP ******************** googling... |

I have thought about looking into selling on ebay, but I have yet to try it. I have made several for customers and pricing them in the furniture stores have found none under $199.00. Shocking IMHO. The stool usually sets beside a bed, dresser, night stand combo for about $299.00 LOL |

Made in China no doubt. It illustrates what kind of markup is on other
Chinese stuff that American companies are selling. The average factory worker in China is making less than $2.00 a day. How many stools can he make in a day?

How can they sell that cheap? Thats easy, have you looked at the size
of that step stool. It is virtually sized as a 12 in by 12 in cube, and made out of cheap common pine. That is a toy, not a step stool. Probably lazor cut out too. Virtually no hand labor other than putting on the mailing sticker.

Stoutman,
Nice projects. One observation though for what it's worth, I couldn't help but notice the first step stool in your pictures shows that the grain of the legs is running horizontilly. This isn't generally a good idea due to possible splitting of the grain could potentially cause a fall. (if someone were stepping up oor standing on it. Something I learned way back in shop class and I didn't heed till I learned the hard way.

It was one of my earliest projects. Thank you. |
