Folding Step Stool

Folding Step Stool

To build the step stool on page 22, you’ll need just a few pieces of hardware. The brass hinges (23590), oak buttons (20503), rare-earth magnets (30810), and magnet cups (31668) all came from Rockler. Lee Valley also carries the rare-earth magnets (99K31.03) and cups (99K32.52), but not the hinges or buttons.

The strap hinges and steel rod and bar stock used for the pivot pins and catch tabs were purchased at a local hardware store. The stain we used is General Finishes’ Prairie Wheat Gel Stain.
