Matthew Agate 10 year old craftsman in Newfoundland Canada building a step stool as seen on Woodworking For Mere Mortals. A fan of Steve Ramseys videos, Matthew, was so excited to take on this project. You can find more on Matthew at www.thenewfoundlandwoodworker.com. Download the free plans we put up for the folding step stool and send us a photo. A big thank you to Steve Ramsey for allowing us to reproduce his plans and add them as a free download on our website. Thanks Steve!

Nice one Matthew.
Somebody get some tool companies to send this young fella some tools to review.

Matt, You did a super job on that step stool and you should serve as a role model for the youth of today. If more kids were like you, the world would be a better place. By the way, Dad makes a pretty handy clamp/ hold down doesn’t he? Keep up the great work. I may have to do one of those stools for my granddaughter and I only hope it comes out nearly as nice as yours.

Matthew that was a great video, I look forward to seeing more videos. You have a lot of courage to make these videos, it’s a great quality to have.
@gfadvm
I also wonder when Harbor Freight will start carrying the “Dad Clamp” .. seems like a great shop accessory.
