Sliding step stool

I agree, the darker tenons definitely add to the piece. Very nice!

Great Job. The finish work, design, and construction should make this last for a long time. BTW which issue was the plan in?

Great looking stool. I too like the way the tenons turned darker…

I’ve been looking at the stools that have the bottom step flip up. Every time I looked at it I would think there’s got to be an easier way. This is what I think I’m looking for. Thanks for showing this.

Thanks for all the comments.

Proclamator – it was issue no. 14 of Australian Woodsmith – but I think the projects pretty well line up with the US version.

roundabout22 – It’s got a neat way of securing the bottom step so it slides out, but only so far. Slidesd back in very neatly.

Neat design and well done.

Oh now that’s cool. With small kiddies still roaming my house, this is an excellent idea. I really like the contrast of the tenons. Great job!

Functional and useful! Excellent! Echo the finish comments – dark tenons are great against the light finish.

A great looking project. The tenons do make it standout.

This is really nice. If I build a stool I will come back to this. Great execution. Favorited!
