After watching the movie "National Treasure" umpteen million times in an
effort to glean a clear view of the chair young Ben Gates flips over to
become a quite substantial step-stool at the beginning of the movie, and
googling till blue in the face, I decided to seek help. . .so here I am! Is
anyone familiar with this configuration and could perhaps post a plan, site,
link or whatever. I have seen the cute little plywood sheet good plans and
after the required guffaw resumed searching. Of course a plan would be
preferable but I think I could work from a couple of good pics. TIA

ladder chair plans like this:

I've heard it was invented by Ben Franklin (a nice addition to the
movie), so adding that to your googling might help. Also search the
archives of this group.
