Love seeing kids become empowered to things like this. They love it.
I can definitley use this tutorial to make a stool for my babies.
I love pocket holes. Easy and sturdy.
yeah!! I finished my step stool today :) such a satisfying feeling to see it in real life. I watched so many videos but this one was my favorite. thanks!!
Thanks for taking the time to upload this.
I have a computer in my workshop with a shelf over the top of it holding my printer and I need this step stool so I can access the buttons on the top panel of the printer.
I'm not that short but it's certainly easier when you can actually see what buttons you're pushing.
I came across this and decided it would be a great project for my son and I to do together. Thank you for sharing.
+Joe Daniels I'm glad to like it. Good luck amd you're welcome.
Love what I learned from using different clamps with Kreg jigs etc. Great instructions!
Great idea. I really like your finish techniques. I wanted to scale this up a little bit longer and higher for a platform bed. Also! Im not gonna use the pocket holes on the treads so that they dont show while looking at it. I think i will just countersink screws and then plug them. Thanks for the inspiration fella!
The black gives a really nice "I never clean my bathroom" feel.
I don't clean my bathroom. My wife does.
@@UIDIY I honor my wife high above me on a pedestal. She will never clean my messes.
Im doing exacly the same, great help, greetings from mexico
Oh! I might be able to do this. I need to build some steps for my dog, but I've got a really small car. I think I could transport 2×6 boards in it though! I'll have to add more steps though, and preferably wider... Hm. Darn it XD anyway, thanks for the video!
good job man.your son will remember the stool for the rest of his life.I just subscribed.Keep them coming😎
+Brian Marcum thanks for the support man.
How precious your boys is. ♥
Very
I think this will be my first project thanks
Quick and easy! Thanks for sharing....
Simple and practical, sir.
Great vid. I appreciate your sense of humor. Thanks!!
Thanks for the awesome video man I made one for my daughter and it turned out amazing. Not going to lie I'm quite short myself so I'll probably end up using it to read the top part of my cabinets haha 😂😂👍🏾
I'm thinking about building one
you can use a longer bit for the pocket hole that you had difficulty reaching or you could flip the bench over and the support piece would not be in your way. i always use the longer bit, unless the area is tight...nice job...
+Corrina Kelly I didn't have the longer bit at the time. I do now :-)
I def need to make this for myself 😂 I can’t reach the top of my cabinets

nice idea. I made some similar a couple weeks ago. Your dimensions would would great for my wife.
This is a really good video! I'd like to make one for my dog as she has had many back problems! Awesome job!
i Made a ramp with some carpet for our dog. He had a disc removed and it works great, less stress with sudden jolts. used 3 1x6" 33" long and jigged them together, Cut corner to corner, that gave me my 2 sides, used 2 1x6", 37" long for the ramp. glued and jigged them together. Mounted to the sides, put some carpet and trim on it and stained. I have 3 of them in the house, they (we have 2 dogs) use them every time.
I like It! A simple project that does the job well.
Nice job. I really like the finish technique.
good stuff man..i like how u aged it.looks good ..keep em comin!!

On the stepstool diy drill all the pocket holes before starting to put it together. I put the 2 pieces together and the 4 1/2 piece would not fit in my kreg pocket hole jig.
Great video!
I liked this video much better than others I've seen. Too bad your most recent posting is five years old. I would have subscribed if you posted in the past 12 months.
I appreciate the support anyways. Life happened and things changed. Trying to get my life back together and hopefully fire the channel back up.
Very simple and nice
I'm glad you show yourself working through a problem with the legs being uneven. Silly question, but how did you recognize this problem?
Thank you. Sometimes I hate how people make things seem like they went flawlessly. I noticed because the leg was wider than the tread, so I knew it would have to pulled back in.
Thanks for the video dude!
esta bueno
gracias facil
Da nada
Nice build. A labor of love. I need to make one for the very same reason. Mine is 20 months. lol
Really like the aging method.
+wackadoforever thanks. I'd like to say it's my own but I'm sure someone else has done it before.
I love it😍😘🤗🤗🤗🤗
nice..
will the cuts/measurements still work if the piece of wood I'm using is 2x 5 1/2?
Yes, both treads are made of the same piece. And both support/stringers I guess you could call them are the same with just butted together. 2x6s that I used are actually inch and a half by 5 and 1/2.
@UIDIY thanks. Just built it. Came out perfect. I see what you meant by having issue with screwijg in the pocket screws and the cross support being in the way
I really like your staining of the steps. Can I ask what type and color of stain did you use?
+Pengfei Song sure thing. The wood I used is kiln dried Douglas Fir. I stained it using Minwax Espresso. Hope that helps.
+U&I DIY Thanks!
Can I build this for my big dog to access the bed? 🤔
i'm making this right now and i appreciate this video! One question, when making your pocket holes, i noticed you had some taped distance. How did you calculate this?
my jig came with a stopper. I'm new to pocket holes so i just wanted to know.
I bought the basic pocket hole jig. So the reason there's tape is to make sure that the setback is right. it was a calculation I made through trial and error but basically you want the tip of the pocket holes drill to poke through the wood in the center. The basic pocket hole jig is designed for three-quarter. So since this was inch and a half I added another 3/4 using 3/4 tape to make sure that the offset would put the screw at the center of the board. Then you just need to adjust the collar on the drill to make sure it doesn't drill too deep
How long did this take you?
Not including paint dry time, probably less than an hour.
Hi did you use the kreg pocket hole screws?
+aceantonio18 not for this exact project but I would recommend it.
Pet step too maybe.
+stickygumshoes absolutely. Older or smaller animal that needs a little help.
yes, when your pet suddenly doesn't sleep on your bed anymore, it may not be his preference, but difficulty getting up there. I found that out.
i need a stepstool for my 94 years old mom (she's very active lot's of energy pray to jesus every morning for 45 min. To an hour )i don't know anything about wood working but you explain very good ,how far do from the edge do i place the pocktholes (you have a blue tape then you clamped it )is it 1 inch ?(my mom wants to help me make it -mmaybe she don't need me)thank you god bless you and your family.
+Joe Guzman the tape I used is 3/4 wide. I have found this is my preferred distance for screwing 1 1/2 stock (the actual size of 2x4). This will put the screw extiting somewhere near the center of your stock. If you setup is right you can use up to a 2 1/2 screw for attacking 2 pieces (the same size). You need to start doing some math when I'd comes to attaching different size pieces. If you have any other questions please let me know. Thanks for the support and good luck.
U&I DIY u&iDiy-i finely made it ,i used all your information and i my mom (very old but still active)is very please she asked me to say thank you for every thing -God bless you.
+Joe Guzman glad it worked out. Thanks for your support.
What size screws do you used for the pocket holes?
+Joe Guzman the basic jig I designed to attach 3/4 stock with 1 1/4 screws. I used 2 inch screws.
Noob here....why you want to make wood look old? What is purpose of aging? Staining it should prevent it from weather right?
+raul_mark just a style thing. You can finish however you like.
kreg it built to last
whats that tool called for the angle drilling?
+S Tyler it's a pocket hole jig. The most popular is kregg
How Long did you cut the treads.?
I cut my treads to 16 inches. It seems to be a very nice size. Still using it to this day.
Is there a complete cut list?
No but I'll make one and add it to the description.
@@UIDIY great! thank you.
@@lopezfamily2770 Cut list has been added.
Can you write the measurements please
+Evelin Juarez sure thing. I'm measure it out and add it to the description.
👍🏽
