Step Stool – Project of the Week

This week’s project comes from Jason. Here’s his story: “The step stool was a gift for my Father, he has been after me for a long time to make him one. The stool you made on the intro of your old podcasts was my inspiration for the piece. I chose a curly walnut (which doesn’t come through in the pictures) for the sides and a solid 8/4 rock maple top. The sides are mortised into the top, with a walnut inlay to make them look like through mortises. The rail underneath is attached with 2 birch dowels. The finish is a “tung-oil finish” from minwax so it has some urethane in it I think, for protection. Only thing I would do different is curve the top like yours, but at the time I didn’t have a bandsaw, now I’ve got a 14″ Jet, so I am ready for the next one.”

Its been about a month since my last video post and I am excited to release another video. The last couple of months have been crazy with the major commissions I have been working on, and now its time to prepare for the upcoming AWFS Fair in Las Vegas. As I’ve mentioned before, I will be working at the Festool booth all four days and my goal is to build some cool projects with Festool tools. The step stool in this video is just such a project and is designed to show off the power of the Domino system. Thanks for watching!
