2 step step stool

I want one of these.
When it “latches”... it will work as a step stool as well as jus a single unit – -making it a 3-purpose stool? That’s how I’m seeing it, not sure if that is right or not.
It’s a brilliant design, very practical and functional.

Brilliant (and beautiful)

Very effective design. I’ve never worked with poplar but will soon as I’m going to make bench legs with it. How is it to work with?

Debbie – You are correct!

Bass – I fould popular to be much like pine. It still will dent easilly but had no trouble with it pealing of the grain on the flat surfaces as pine sometimes does.

I like the design

Thanks all!
I love coming up with original ideas.

Had a hard time picking the pictures since for some reason even though the back is perpendicular to the floor but in just about all of the pictures it appears to lean back. I even took a picture with a square near it to prove it! Guess it’s an optical illusion.

these look great dataman

I like the triple use of this project. Poplar looks wonderful here. I’m going to show this one to my wife (my project manager).

I really like this design. Good job!

This is a great design.

We had a stool in our bathroom when our kids were small. It said “Stand up to be tall, Sit down to be small”

After 15 years of looking at the stool. when ever you went to the bathroom you turned the stool upside down, put it in the bathtub. because you were sitting there with nothing to do but read that stool.

So when my youngest daughter had a child I had my oldest daughter make a monogrammed cover. I made the stool and we presented this to her. Now she has that problem and we had a good laugh.

Nesting stools….hmmmmmmm I like it, nice design and very functional. I like Poplar as well, mills-up easier than pine, but it is more expensive. Have you ever tried Beech, excellent hardwood mills-up great and is usually less expensive than Oak.

I really like the locking mechanism. It’s simple and will obviously be very effective! It even adds a little extra interest to the piece, and thus serves the form as well as the function.

VERY cool design, and well executed!

Nice design, it’s funny, for years I called this wood Poplar, but then I worked with foresters on my job, & they called it Aspen.

Now I have to get used to calling it Poplar again. LOL

Aspen sure is Poplar, isn’t it :)

Poplar?
I have found a use for the 5 cube/feet I have in my yard. At last!

Oh! I almost forgot.
A cube/foot is equivalent to a board 12 feet long by 12 inches wide by 1 inch thick.
I am sure you know that folks, but I believe you work in board feet over your side of the pond. So what would the above board be called? 12 board/feet?
Just a wild guess. Har! Har!....

DM, what a cleaver design! I’m sure your new grandchildren with love this.

I built one that is somewhat similar to this, and I must say that it is probably the most used piece I’ve ever made.
