Best Abode Diy - Wooden Footstep Stool - Vintage Look

Hi friends,

I've been inwards cleaning manner inwards my garage. It's been going for a piece already.
The tools are organized.  Checked.
The shelves where I shop lots of stuff are done. Checked.
All the pieces of wood instantly accept a house of their own.  Double checked.
But hey, that's exactly the matter that I've been shuffling around.

I hitting that minute when there's virtually no infinite for some other piece...
The to a greater extent than nosotros build, the to a greater extent than nosotros goal upward amongst lots of lilliputian pieces of woods that nosotros don't desire to business office off with.

I ended upward amongst a skillful total of square-ish pieces of woods when I worked on the shelves inwards my son's room. The ones on the left side of the cart. I needed to produce something amongst them because to a greater extent than fight pieces are coming every day! Hmm, that's when this projection started.

Building a Step stool amongst a vintage look.

Besides paint, the vintage await came amongst the add-on of the scalloped apron. That slice came off from a hutch I transformed long agone - details here.

Since I  built this stair stool amongst repurposed materials, I'm non going to laissez passer on yous a detailed tutorial. I'm giving yous lots of details also the measurements, a slap-up agency to replicate whatever projection -IMO. ;)

Cut the spill out board to size as well as circular the corners. Set aside.

miter saw

The legs were cutting on a 10° angle. It's slow to larn confused on which agency they go. Mark them.
Draw the pattern on the legs, as well as using a jigsaw, cutting it out.

The scalloped apron trim back was also cutting on a 10° amongst the shortest indicate at 16¾".
The connecting pieces were attached amongst mucilage as well as steal hole joinery. Their outer side has to last cutting on an angle too.

Ryobi Cordless Drill

Four 1¾" screws were used to attach each of the legs to the centre support. Use mucilage as well as produce pre-drills.

Almost done.

Time to add together the spill out board.
-Place the spill out board correct side down. Center the stool base of operations on it as well as line all some it's perimeter.
-Take away the base of operations as well as brand the predrills on the spill out board for where the screws volition last driven.
-Flip the spill out board as well as countersink each of those holes.
-Finally, laid the spill out board on the stool base of operations as well as drive the screws from the spill out down.

After caulking as well as sanding all around, this is how the lilliputian stair looked.
Yep, laid upward for paint.

I start gave it a coat of ASCP - Graphite.
Then, I used a mix of ASCP - Florence as well as Duck Egg Blue every bit a spill out coat, only Vaseline was used to laissez passer on it that distressed, quondam feel.
After the start coat of pigment is dry, rub Vaseline on those areas that larn to a greater extent than wear, or are to a greater extent than probable to larn chipped, similar corners as well as edges. Apply the spill out coat, permit it dry out fully, hence using a slice of cloth, create clean the Vaseline off the wood.

I sealed the entire stool amongst clear as well as night wax.

And here, is my lilliputian "Vintage stair stool". :)

Don't yous dear stair stools? They remind me of my grandmother, she used to accept 2 that she used all the time.

Well, this is non my start stair stool as well as for sure, it's non going to last the final one... I all the same accept enough of stuff to construct me some more! :)
