We have been using 2-3 plastic Ikea stools around the house for the kids – sometimes us when we need a little lift. Over the years we have been through at least 5 of those stools and I wanted something a little sturdier.
Cut lumber per the plans.
Lay the wood pieces on a concrete surface outdoors.
Make pocket holes with the Kreg jig in the 3/4″ setting. There are holes going from one board to the next with no holes in the last board.
The treads are attached using wood glue and 1-1/4″ finish nails.
