Great job on the step stools Finally all done. I tried using the burn paste to burn the names on the stools, but it just didn’t look right. Made the red oak look dirty. So I sanded the names off and used some store bought letters and painted them. I put 4 coats of a water based satin finish on these. I’m happy with the way they came out. I also can remember when they made house calls. Thanks very much Al B. Report

August 19, 20241 yr Author Popular Post comment_340731 I delivered the child’s stools to the doctor today. She was almost in tears when she seen them, and she reached it o her purse and handed me two thank you cards from her twins. Man, it’s been a very long time since I received something as nice as this. Report

November 22, 20241 yr Popular Post comment_346786 Red oak is a beautiful choice too—will look great with their names on them. I’ve always found working with wood a bit intimidating at first, but once you get going, it’s pretty fun. I made a step stool for my niece once; she loves it because it’s just the right height for her to reach the sink. Report

I made a step stool for my niece once; she loves it because it’s just the right height for her to reach the sink. I was also surprised at how easy it was, especially with all the tools I had. Speaking of, I’ve had a great experience with Ladders and Step Stools in the past. They offer solid products that make it safe and easy to reach those higher places, whether in the garage or around the house. Edited December 6, 20241 yr by Mstatosh Report
