Thanks for showing the mistakes Brad, and how to fix them. You took the time to show the errors, and demonstrated the steps to overcome them with viable solutions that all of us can follow, which shows that you're a great instructor with masterful craftsmanship. I look forward to many more of your builds! :)
Nice work. Thanks for showing your mistakes. It helps woodworkers like me understand that it's just part of the process! I would get too frustrated with my self in the past.
Oh yeah, it's gonna happen no matter what. Just learn to fix them when they do happen :)
Totally agree. Also make it more relatable/accessible. Not some polished off HGTV sh...stuff. ;-)
Really dig the tips on how to do the dowels for the stretchers. Great video bro!
Thanks, brother!
Dude, I'm sold on this. I'm going to build this for my kids. They are constantly needing a snack or drink and can't reach the bowls or cups. Honestly what sold me was the demo at the end.
Thanks, Josh. It’s been a hi and now they fight over it 😀
This is fancy as fluff. I love it!
😂😂😂 thanks, Sam!
Love your work. I'm in the process of building up my workshop and I will use some if not all of your techniques. You make it look so easy haha look forward to more videos. Love and peace from great Britain 😁
Nice job Brad, including "fixing" your error.
Thanks, Steve. I think it' important to show what happens when things go wrong too!
Cool build Brad, I like the variety of joinery used and the design being 2 stools that can work as one lends more flexibility than a usual step stool.
Thanks for showing the mistakes and problem solving too. Some people, like my students, would go "crap, start again". I work every year to get each new class to realise "all is not lost, how can we fix/modify our job"
Love that mentality. Sometimes, you start over but mostly it can be saved.
Great idea. I appreciate showing your mistakes. For a while I thought I was the only one that made them. Now you've gotten your 1 mistake taken care of for the year so you're good to go now.
Good for that hour at least 😀. Good to meet you this weekend!
Yet another brilliant design and crisp build video. Thanks
Thanks so much!
Nice and simple. Thanks for showing mistakes, it makes me feel better about mine.
You’re welcome! We all make them.
Nice job and congrats on landing the sponsorship! I just discovered the MFP podcast a week or two ago. I'm about 14 episodes in and wanted to congratulate you on moving to full-time. I'm only 1/2 a year late. :)
Thanks, Jason! And better late than never :)
Nice stool design. Love the interlocking/ positioning stretches.
thank you!
Great job. Love your videos. How do i get the plan with dimensions. Kevin
Complimenti veramente una bella idea.
What a cool feather board.
Link in the description if you want more info. It’s pretty slick
Brad, this is Justin at Remodelaholic. Great video! Love the design of the stool. I've been working on a stool myself for my shop. Nice job!
Awesome! Hope this one helps you out!
Dude! That's Great! I need this in my shop. Thanks for the video brother!
Great build Brad!
Thanks, Mike! Good to meet you this weekend!
Thanks, Mike! Good to meet you this weekend!
Fix This Build That same to you! Can't wait til wbc2019
Awesome! Great video Brad!
Awesome and beautiful work...

I've downloaded these plans and a couple others and I love the simple designs but I have to ask how tall are you? The furniture came out very nice but it seemed kinda low "I added 6inch feet to the outdoor sofa" and I started making adjustments to the builds to make the seating taller. This meant more wood than expected but store isn't that far away but you've got me curious now lol. Keep up the good work I plan on downloading a lot more as I go and thanks.
Great build and Design of the Stool.
Barry (ENG)
Took me a minute to figure out the final design but I’m happy with it,thanks!
Love the project. Excellent Video.
That's a great design, i like the cherry, looks good!
Thanks! Cherry is such a beautiful wood to work with.
Awesome job on the stool and video! 👍 Nicely done Brad! 👊
Thanks, Fred. It was a fun change.
Awesome video and sweet build. I like how you show if you make a mistake from rushing how you can still recover from it lmao.
Yeah, Thom, I make a lot of them so figure others do too 😀
Beautiful project!
great work ! I just wondered if the plans are also in metric for us who are not familiar with imperial units :) thanks :)
Well done!
Nice looking step stools! Great job!
Thank you!
Love the design. Great project.
Thank you, Clyde!
That's a great idea to have a more modular stool instead of the traditional one trick ponies out there like the one I made.
Thanks, Mark! Was going for something unique.
Thanks Brad. Great project.
Thanks!
This is very nice and so simple. Pity I cant make one. I just don’t have the equipment
Awesome build Brad! We recently got new appliances as well. This build may be on my list soon!
Thanks, Tim. Glad we’ll get to see you in Cleveland!
Nice job on those.
Thanks, Frank!
The best congratulations 🖖🇺🇸 mister....
thanks!
Great project!!! Thanks for listing your tools.
You’re welcome
Cool project! I will have some left over poplar from some trim work I'm doing, I think I will try it and stain it dark walnut.
That would look great!
Fix This Build That l made a full sized football out of poplar a couple of years ago, my brother in law stained it with dark walnut, looked great.
This is a great idea for unique product
Thanks!
The best stool for children
Very good idea!
thanks, Sonny!
Brad you have amazing singing skills 😂
oh boy....there will be no video on that :)
I love this build. What drill/countersink bit are you using to attach the bottom stretchers?
The dowels on the cross members run into the other dowels on the small stool?
Great as always!!!!!
Thanks, Chris!
Very sleek!
Thank oyu!
Great project Brad but I'm wondering when you'll be incorporating your own karaoke versions of popular 90's ballads into your videos? It just might be the one thing that helps your channel take off.
Somewhere in my archive I’ve done that already. I’m not pointing you to it though 😀
this looks great, good job :D
Thanks, Ryan!
good work
Thanks!
Brad - great video, I just finished gluing up the sides and sanding. The pocket hole screws for the aprons sadly split the legs : ( any tips on how to avoid this? I used the fine thread, 1,1/4” kreg screws. I guess now it’s time to learn how to repair a split cherry leg!
Dang! I'm assuming the grain line was running exatly the line the screw came in. Try to run them acroos grain lines vs with them
Fix This Build That many thanks for the reply! To fix the leg I used some dental floss to bring glue through the crack (wedged open), resanded like new. In the absence of a drill press, I used the self Centering dowel jig, clamped on top of the target, and used a Brad point bit to find the mark.. worked out great! Thanks again.
I have a question, and I’ve seen this before in other videos you make, why do you run your tops on the table saw and do a bevel edge on them instead of using a chamfer bit in a router? The router just seems easier but I’m sure you have your reasons!
I like the softer angle. This is 30 degrees and a router bit is typically 45. Also the router but bearing marks up the surface that you then have to sand out
bonsoir est ce qu on peut avoir les dimenssions merci
Very cool idea ans design. But there is one thing Ireally dont understand: How was ist possiblie to drill the dowel holes in the angled joints at 90° ? The whole thing would be out of alignment...
the dowel joints align with the face of the joint. so as long as the joint is flush then it works great
This was my initial thought too, but since both pieces should be cut with corresponding angles, the dowel holes end up being drilled at the same angle (but not parallel to the ground)
After I explained the problem to another person, I realized there was no problem : )
This is the reason I came to the comment section. Once I read these comments, problem solved.
What forcener bit set do you use for hand drill?
I’ve only seen them with the instructions to use with a drill press.
I used Brad point bits for the doweling jig. On the drill press I used a small 3/8 Forstner. I think they were from woodcraft
coooool
thanks!
Hi Brad, which counter bit did you use in the video? Thanks
Mohamed, it's this one. No-mar Countersink Bit - amzn.to/2H8NKbe
Fix This Build That thanks Brad!
What countersink are you using?
Zach, it's this one. No-mar Countersink Bit - amzn.to/2H8NKbe
What connector pieces do you use for your rigid sander and rigid miter saw? I can’t find a way to connect my shop vac to either tool.
I use this one between the back of the sander and the port I have on my hose. amzn.to/2GJz7Kr . But you situation may be different depending on your hose connection.
Fix This Build That I just have a regular ole rigid shop vac, So is that orange hose your have a specific 4 inch hose from rigid?
It’s 2-1/2” and it’s called the pro 4x hose or something like that. The fittings it came with worked out of the box. And yes, it’s RIDGID
How many coats of finish? I always lose track.
Exactly...thus 4....or 5 :)
great job Brad!! @myhoneyshandmade
Thank you!
