Transform Your Workshop: DIY Sit & Step Stool Build

Рет қаралды 38,814

Күн бұрын

My workshop is small and only has room for functional items, and anything that also adds comfort is a welcome addition like this Bar Stool that also functions as a Stepping Stool, it was an easy build and the use of dowels makes a very strong stool, especially with the Spalted Beech wood I used, the whole structure is very strong and now when I need to adjust lights or change bulbs I can so that quickly and easily with this handy Step/Sitting Stool that I made with may table saw, jointer, planer and finished with 3M Xtract Sanding Discs so that it is all ready for sanding a year from now when the wood oxidizes as darkens enough for me to apply some sort of a finish then.

I didn't even think of that when building, but you are absolutely correct!

Thanks, now I have yet another thing to build. Just can't get a break. Work, work, work. 😊

Hi Colin. Thanks for the idea and inspiration. I think I might build one of these. I already have a shop stool (online purchase) but I get visitors to my shop and it would be nice to have a second. Also, I keep a one-step stool in the shop to reach the blast gates of the split of my two-zone dust collection system. It's just below ceiling level. If I build the stool as you did, I can eliminate the low stool. Thanks for the content over the years. Be safe in the shop!

Nice, also optional back as well for a chair in sitting position and stability in stepping position.

Hmm ... didn't think of a back, good idea maybe a version 2 down the road

This is a great idea, I have a separate stool and small step ladders for some high shelfing - wish I had thought of this!

You could still make one and save some space :)

Can take a look at our kunlun tooth saw blade, single saw blade up and down without bursting edge🎉

Maybe you could fit a clip to lock the seat in the up position to act as a sort of hand hold.

@knecht105 2 ай бұрын

Hmmm good idea, any suggestions on that??

@Thiagarajah1 2 ай бұрын

Great idea. May I hv the plan measurements?

@cabman86 2 ай бұрын

Great build! I think the dowel holes were a tiny bit too big. I do mine with a smaller drill bit so they have to be hammered in.

@weldabar 2 ай бұрын

The dowels he uses for the test fit are undersized, and have been sanded down for ease of use. They are not the same as the dowels he used for final assembly (not shown in video). He mentions that briefly here, but has talked about it at length in other videos.

Awesome Colin quick and easy...🤘🤘🤘. What are the dimensions roughly.

@Luigi4950 2 ай бұрын

Hi Colin how's it going with that incra miter I have one and it's not cutting a true 45 degree how would fix that so it cut true ??

Hey nice! And nice to see you add your lovely wife! :) Can you tell us what you used for the padding for the stool top ? Also, was it covered with leather or vinyl?

@knecht105 2 ай бұрын

The padding is just a firm foam that is used for lounge chairs and the top is only vinyl, It's a workshop stool so I wanted a fabric that would be easy to clean ... you know, in case I want to eat a burger in the shop from the Crow & Gate
