The Woodshop Shed

Step-stool

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This step-stool was created over the course of a semester. It's made out of cedar wood meant for decking. The top is 16”x9”x3/4”, sides are 12 1/2” x 4” x 3/4”, and the legs are 7 1/4” x 10” x 3/4”. An important note is the leg are cut at a 10 degree angle using a table saw. The top pattern is a corn-man surrounded by a field of hexagonal corn! This pattern was made possible by using a CNC router and I hand painted each routed indents with acrylic paint. The use of a planer was used on each piece to grind the thickness down to 3/4”. A rounding bit was used for the top and the legs. Mr. Cornman's project was drilled with screws after using pocket hole joints, 2 on each leg and each side. BE CAREFUL SCREWING IN THE SCREWS, IT CAN GO THROUGH THE TOP. The final project was coated with three coats of tung oil. Let dry and enjoy!
