I know it sounds like a dangerous combination, but with proper supervision, it actually turns out to be really cool. Ally really wanted to do some woodworking in 4H this year so I started searching for beginner wood plans on the internet several weeks ago. I found some boring basic plans that would work but then I came across the perfect plan... a vintage step stool! It didn't look too hard so we decided to give it a shot. The plans came from Ana White. You can find the step by step plans here. |
| Here she is with all her wood supplies before she made the cuts. |
 |
| Measure twice... cut once. At least that's what my dad taught me. |
 |
| She had a little help but did a great job with the power tools! |
 |
| Sand Sand Sand... then sand some more! |
 |
| And when you get tired you grab the electric sander! |
 |
| She needed a little muscle from her dad to help put all the wood screws in! |
 |
| The FINAL product!! She did two coats of paint and distressed the edges to get the "vintage" look she was going for!! |
Very nice! SO glad this project didn't include a trip to the ER. You're a brave soul, Mom. There are some tricky cuts on this little sucker...I'm sure you realized that AFTER you read the directions. Before that I can here you saying, "Look at this simple stool, Al." I know this because I've said it and then said, S@#$! Congrats on the new saw. Can't wait to see your project.
