Kids Learning Tower Kitchen Helper Stool
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 ноя 2020
- I built this kitchen helper stool/Learning tower for my daughter to use in the future. It's something we've wanted to build for a while now and although she is a still bit young, I know she will get good use out of it.
I made this kitchen helper out of 3/4" baltic birch plywood.
Kids really want to feel like they are included into anything you're doing. If you're handy in the shop and have a child, this is a great project to do!

Just made one for my Twin grandkids, in Pine. Pity I had seen this idea before. Like the channel thank you.
Awesome!
You really did well! I love the pace of the video as well!
Thanks Kiran! I really appreciate it. I’ll check out your channel too this evening. Seems like you have some sweet projects on there!
Very easy to follow video! Great job
Thank you!
Nice one! Hopefully it gets a lot of use!
Yeah it definitely is!
Awesome video, man!! Did you have any issues with the screws rusting after applying the water-based finish? I recently completed a kitchen island cart and used some pin nails to hold in the slats while the glue dried and when I stained it with water-based stain they rusted almost instantly. It was a mess! I think the Kreg screws are zinc coated, though, so maybe that's the difference. Great work, man! - Joe
Thanks for the kind words! Yeah I actually ended up using screws from Kreg since I had them in the shop. So far so good though, I’ll let you know if they do rust over time!
@@AceWoodCo Awesome! Nothing wrong with that, man. If they haven't tarnished by now, you should be good. I think the pins I used in my project rusted so quickly because they were likely uncoated (and also cheap ones from Harbor Freight lol).
Hiw deep did you go on the router cuts?
I made the router cuts 1/4”. I think as long as you leave half the thickness of material left over it would be good, so if you’re material is 3/4” plywood anything between 1/4” to 3/8” would do! Cheers 🍻
Was it all made from 1 sheet of 4x8 plywood 3/4 inch?
Yeah totally. You probably could make two out of a 4x8 sheet. Cheers!
@@AceWoodCo awesome, going to build it this week
What angle did you cut the side pieces at?
@@JosephWarner i don’t remember the exact angle but I made the sides 34” tall 16” at the top and 20” at the base. I marked out those three measurements out and then connected the top and base measurements to get that angle. Hope this helps! 🍻
Awesome thanks
Hi there! I was just wondering what the distance is between where the platform ends and the step begins? Essentially, how much is the step "sticking out" from the platform?
Hey there! I made the step stick out 1.5” which works. It may be a “toe stubber” for some people so you could always push it in flush with the sides. Hope that answers your question! Thanks!
@@AceWoodCo thanks for the reply! So essentially you have about a 1.5” “stagger” between the step and the platform? I was trying to build one but my initial design messed up and the step is completely aligned underneath the platform making it defeat the purpose of having a step and also making the step pretty much unusable. I was thinking of staggering it about 1.5” - 2” out from the edge of the platform so it acts more like a “stair”
@@aliciafalls4126 yeah I just have a 1.5” stagger for the bottom step but I think if you want more of a step I would look into the 2”-4” range and make the step wider if needed. I think the best bet would be to dry fit the bottom step and see which you distance you like the best! Hope this helps and I think we’re talking about the same thing 😬
@@AceWoodCo yes this clarifies it! Thank you!! Great work!!
