I used to pick up an elderly lady to bring her to church.
She had difficulty climbing into my van, so I made this small step stool to help her out.
It can’t be tipped because of the spread of the legs. I also applied Scotchtread to the feet for icy conditions.
THe leg spead is 12”, the heght is 7”, & the top measures 11” x 11”.
It’s a handy stool for kids also.
It’s made from plywood scraps!

Very nice! I like the idea of adding Scotchtread to the bottom of the feet.

Jeez, that’s practical. My mom can’t get in my truck without a grunt. Not a bad idea. Worthy of Spid-ato Man!

Another great story and stool. I’d think that that swirling pattern might make her dizzy. LOL.
