It doesn’t matter how tall you are, there’s always something you need on the top shelf of a kitchen cabinet just a little out of reach. Rather than keeping a stepladder in the house, you can build this handsome Shaker-style step stool in a day.
Cutting List
| KEY | QTY. | PART | DIMENSIONS |
| A | 2 | Tall side | 3/4″ x 7-1/4″ x 22″ |
| B | 2 | Short side | 3/4″ x 7-1/4″ x 11″ |
| C | 5 | Stretcher | 3/4″ x 2-1/2″ x 12-1/2″ |
| D | 2 | Tread | 3/4″ x 7-1/4″ x 14″ |
Make the sides
Cut the tall and short side pieces (A & B) to length. Drill 1/4-inch diameter dowel holes in one edge of each short side using a doweling jig.
Locate the dowel holes in the tall sides using dowel centers, then drill the holes in the tall sides. Add glue to the edge of the short side and in the dowel holes. Press the dowels into their holes and clamp the parts together. Clean off any excess glue with a damp rag.
When the glue is dry, sand the assembled sides up to 150-grit. If you don’t have a doweling jig, simply edge-glue the parts together.
