is the step stool a similar design to the one Steve Ramsey made a couple weeks back?

Beautiful work on stools. I am a little concerned that your grandkids need to reach the martini glass ;-)

Matthew – probably. I know I had a picture in my mind when I built it and I don’t usually come of inspiration unbidden. On the shoulders of giants, as they say.

Monte – I figure learning how to make me a decent dirty martini is a life skill they need to learn.

Nice job on all of them. How did you get the angled dado dead nuts like that? I can remember my godfather teaching me how to fix him a good dirty martini at a rather young age … important stuff. Your grandsons stool all though is worthless, havent you learned no matter what us guys do our trajectory is always just a tad off ;)

Nice very functional, can you tell me what the dimensions are would like to make one for the wife so is always having me get up off the sofa to fetch her wine classes on the top shelves.

But, it isnt DS and looks great~

Great stools. I like that they all have a specific purpose and your commentary was priceless! Really nice looking pallet wood.

I can’t help thinking that if you get the grandkids to make you enough martinis, you won’t care about the little trajectory problem and Mrs Muleskinner won’t need to meditate.

Nice wood colours

Chrisstef – I just kind of winged it with the dados (my normal modis-operandi). I think it was about 10 degrees and then trimed the the legs with the same set. My dado set is about as crumby as they come, Avanti Pro. The best thing I can say about it is that it came in a nice wooden box (which I sure they used someone else’s blades to make). Really need to invest in a decent stack.

gfadvm and Ivan – The thing I’m finding with pallet wood is you never know what you got till you run one side through the jointer or planer. Also, I’m finding that you pull alot of nails to get a little wood. I think my stove wood/project wood ratio is running about 9/1. And that’s not counting the projects that end up stove wood.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

They’re all real nice and useful. Good work.
