This is a great looking solid wood two-step stool that'll be very handy to have around the house. While the joinery is fairly challenging, I've broken it down in the build course to make it reasonably easy for the average woodworker to do with standard shop tools. I used power tools for mine, taking it from rough milled lumber right to finished product, but it can also be done with hand tools only.
Recommended wood is any solid hardwood. I used ash for mine. It can be made from a softwood such as pine, but I figure if you are going to these lengths for the joinery, it's worth it to use a nice hardwood.

Hi, I really enjoy watching your videos. It looks like the only thing holding the 2 steps together is glue. I'm no wood worker. I may have miss something. I have the impression that it might not be enough to call it "Seriously Solid". Maybe I'm wrong?
@@TiriPon he actually use construction adhesive however the same goes for glue. It is plenty of strength especially with the type of joinery used.
@@TiriPon - The glue joints are stronger than the wood itself.
Love this channel
TiriPon Yes, I think you missed the great lengths he went to, to make all those dovetail joints.
I'd have to watch again in order to confirm this next statement: This thing would hold together even without glue.
This is a seriously strong build.
Bravo!
The quality of your work combined with excellent filming make it a nice way to start off a Sunday morning for me. Well done sir.
Thank you :)
That 3 degree clamping jig is so simple and so brilliant for the dove tails at the router table.
Thanks Jay!
Yup, noticed that too. Reminds me of the jigs people use for kumiko
But, why the 3 degree there?
I love that virtually everything that can be made of wood in your shop is in fact made of wood. All that custom hardware in your table saw looks amazing, and that sled for your planer is great. I came here for stool ideas and ended up with 3 shop ideas unrelated to the stool. 10/10
What fantastic craftsmanship! Great attention to detail, and you cannot beat oak wood for a project. Thank you so much
Well done, terrific joinery and build, a stool destined to be passed down generations.
I am going to be making a step-stool soon and have seen several RUclips videos by various woodworkers on how to make one. This is by far the most entertaining to watch and also contains some very sound ideas. The result is beautiful as well as functional and looks as if it will be around for hundreds of years. Thanks for the inspiration.
You’re right! That is some pretty interesting joinery. Nice practical project, especially for someone who wants to learn some new techniques. Thanks John.
Leaning dovetail joints wow that takes some working out
Such a humble little piece and you managed to make a it a thing of beauty.. very well done
In my opinion, this is one of your best videos. I’m talking content, production and music.
John you are a talented craftsman. You have created a work of art with this project. I look always forward to each and every post. Thank you.
I´m not even a woodworker, but I find these videos so relaxing to watch. Thanks a lot!
Great work John! Love the angles on the bottom and those dovetails. Turned out awesome.
Thanks :)
Just amazing...like the broken edges, full view of the dovetails and overall results. Well done
Stunning piece of work from homemade machines, jig's and clamps, and a touch of good craftsmanship. Music suited perfect.
This might be my favorite build from you, nicely done.
Very nice John. I like your approach to this build. It reminds me to enjoy the process.
Very nicely done. This is a great skill builder for someone wanting to take the next "step" up in their woodworking. It incorporates some really solid joinery to make this very strong and solid step stool. Thanks for the video!
A very elegant design beautifully executed. Thank you! Also, the video production is, it must be said, some of the best I've seen and is one of the reasons I wait for the notification on Sunday morning. The choice of the piano music at the end was inspired, John, too.
Dear friend you finish good,,,,good job...
Seriously strong and seriously beautiful. Nice work, John
Agreed, that is one seriously put together step stool John! Love the joinery which should hold up just fine over the next few centuries.
As usual John, GREAT WORK!!
You, sir, are an artist. I always enjoy your craftsmanship and you’ve elevated a simple step stool into a thing of beauty.
Yet another example of artistry in wood. Thumbs up John.
That's beautiful, perfect joinery. Thank you.
Respect young man
You are, indid, the best woodworker I've ever seen.
And I've seen many of them here on RUclips.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Proud to be your patreon.
In addition to an interesting and useful project, that is a beautifully shot and edited video. Terrific work!
John, thanks for bringing common sense back to my woodworking. I have taken your advise and started using construction adhesive on some of my projects. For once I wasn't a basket case trying to hurry my glue ups, plus freezing doesn't affect it.Thanks
That should hold. Love the way you joined the stretchers. Looks awesome!
Thanks Wes!
Enjoyed watching this one all come together, John thanks for taking the time to share this one with us.
Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.
That is some serious woodworking mastery, sir. Very calming to watch.
Made me think of the Amish masterpieces! Nothing not needed. No fancy unneeded exotic woods, no fluting or dodads, and just superb craftsmanship. Very well done!
WOW WOW WOW!
Absolutely beautiful step stool. I'm flabbergasted by the joinery and execution. That little bevel at the bottom is utterly fantastic.
John, you nailed all the craftsmanship chords with this one, congrats!
Thanks Andrea!
I love the angled chisel technique. I’m going to remember that one.
8:05 Those treads moving onto the sliding dovetails, followed by trimming and flushing with hand planes, is a thing of beauty.
I have NEVER seen such beautiful work John!
Beautiful step stool John! 😍👌🏻 Awesome work! 👍🏻👊🏻
That is awesome. I was just looking at a plastic still at IKEA for my grandson but now I have a better plan
Such a satisfying watch. Great way to start a Sunday morning.
Thanks Bonnie :)
It's not only a Step Stool. It's a Masterpiece for sure ! Both woodworking and video making !
Wow, what a lovely piece, well done, love your work. One of the best videos I’ve seen from you imho. Thank you John
That’s a really useful piece of kit for the household. Well done John. Regards
Loving this project. I'm just getting into woodworking and was thinking that a step stool project would be a nice small project to try some more ambitious joinery on and this has given me a ton of ideas.
I just love the detail that you put into your work. I also like the fact that you have handmade clamps too. You don’t see that very often.
Simple and yet advanced project. I enjoy the shift you have made towards doing more furniture and feel that this is where you do some of your best work (judgning from the videos).
Keep up the good work
What an immensely satisfying thing to watch.
Amazing build John!! The joinery is beautiful!
Great build. Nice mix of hand tools and power tools, with tried and true joinery. Thanks for the video.
Pretty bad-ass use of hand tools--- reminds us of Paul Sellers!
Beautiful design John, besides its joinery. I enjoyed all crafting process. I'll always learn some new tricks. Regards!
This is some seriously nice work. Love the dovetail joints and strong attention to style and finish.
Inspiring stuff, John. Thank you!
Beautiful! Thanks John.
Unbelievable precision. It’s work of art done beyond passion. Thanks for filming and sharing the video.
Really cool build. Lotta technique and precision in a small package. Fun!
Beautiful job John.
Fantastic video , with the mix of joinery and the use of power tools and hand tools.
Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Absolutely marvelous John. Nice artist talent you have ! I am so impressed. Thanks for such nice work and images.
Great job John!
Beautiful work, and production!
Very much enjoyed this one. Thanks John!
Fantastic work as always. Love the joinery.
Incredible step stool. Perfect video. Big thumb’s up!
Just wow. It's always great to watch a master work his craft. Excellent work of art, sir!
Another fine build, John! Dat joinery! Woo!
0:35 Hey! You use the same fancy sanding pad I do! You get that at Rockler? Love the closing music...really pulls at the heartstrings.
Seriously, John, looking forward to the build "classes" I probably won't make a stepstool, but there's always something to learn from your work. I just finished your belt/disc sander yesterday and couldn't be happier.
Nice design. I love watching you work, John.
That's a great piece of design. A classic build worthy of a gallery show.
That’s a great looking step stool John. I really like the joinery in that.
John, What a great build. I love the attention to detail. This is the first video of yours I have seen. I am intrigued by the shop built tools too. Also, shout out for proper table saw discipline by moving the fence away after setting up your cross cut with the miter gauge!
Beautiful job!
A really impressive build, neat joinery; I like the video style too .
Very well done John. Not to many people appreciate good workmanship any more.
NICE! Beautiful piece.
What a beautiful technique.
Really beautiful little touches.....
Really nice piece. The bevel on the outside of the cutout on the side pieces is a nice addition.
I have seen in your videos that you cut your piece of wood in two pass when using your meter saw.
The first one is by pulling the saw toward you by half the thickness of the wood and the
seciond stroke by pushing trough the entire piece. Doing so you always have a perfect cut.
Did you have mentioned that to yours supporters?
GOOD JOBS JOHN
I like verry much what you do. Congratulation.
Very nice work John. Thanks for posting that, great production quality too.
That was great. Thanks John.
Beautiful work John! You really are a master craftsman
One word, BEAUTIFUL
How the h..... can someone not like this?? Very nice design and good craftsmanship!
Such a nice and clean work! It almost feels intimidating .
Beautiful work
Wow that thing is never coming apart and the videography was awesome.
Nice job John!
Nicely done John. Elegant little peice of furniture, excellent video.
Pretty work John!
Sorry, but your claims to be "seriously solid" are to be considered false until Matthias jumps on it.
I really like how you did the chamfer on the bottom like that. 👌
Looks great and sturdy. Love the beveling at the bottom :)
Damn fine work you got there! I watch your videos and appreciate your attention to details AND your drive to try new ways of delivering content on projects while maintaining your brand.
Great stuff my man!
Great job on the step stool John! Thank you for sharing it with us.💖👌👍😎JP
Something about the video to be satisfying and relaxing to watch. Great camera view points.
Looks great!
It's a beautiful piece John.
Beautifully done!
Man, you could park a tank on it!
Thanks for the video.
