I got an order to build a child's step stool. They saw one online at a discount store and sent me the picture.

 

So they ask me to make a stool like this one. Thankfully they didn't want it painted this way or all of the decals on it. Right now they just want it painted white. I should get it painted tomorrow night.

 

So here is my version of the stool.

 

 

The top step opens and has some storage inside.

 

Don't pay attention to the wrench holding the lid open

 

Used Poplar for the construction. Now that my grand daughter has seen it she wants one for her room, so I guess we will get another one done as quick as possible.

 

 

Nice look stool John, you going to paint to match?

They just want it painted white Rich.

 

I think they are still deciding on colors for the room, so I am just doing it white.

darn that's some clean work John! Very pro and straight, kind of looks like you've been doin this awhile?

looks good John. we have a similar model so my wife can get into bed,

Thanks John and John.

 

It isn't anything like a rocking chair though John.

 

John H., that is why my grand daughter and my wife want one.

 

This one is only 12" high.

 

It look Great and I bet your version last many years longer.  You might want to make a few more as I would bet they get more popular as they are showen off.

Thanks Mark.

 

I know I will have to make a few more for the grand kids for sure. Got started painting it last night. Kept the shop warm but won't be able to work out there tonight.

John, we have one in our bathroom so my granddaughter can reach the sink. We got a couple at Big Lots a few years back for $5.   On the steps it says like;

This is my little stepping stool, it helps me reach the things I couldn't ................and the things I shouldn't.

 

Yours looks a lot sturdier and I'm sure they will love them.

Thanks Ron,

 

I think I would have come out better to have purchased it for them, but hey they ask me to build it and that's what we do. It certainly isn't a money maker, but a friend maker.

 

I am sure their son will appreciate being able to reach what ever he is not suppose to also
