This was my final project for DES 135: Woodworking, where I designed and built a functional step stool entirely from scratch using lumber and plywood. I created the design, drafted precise measurements, and fabricated every component by hand, ensuring the final piece met the exact 14" × 14" × 14" dimensions and 7" step rise/run.
Throughout the process, I focused on craftsmanship and usability like cutting straight edges, sanding all surfaces smooth, tightening joints, and adding rounded edges for safe, comfortable handling.
As part of the “social furniture” assignment, we also collaborated with classmates to combine our stools into modular benches and elevated platforms, documenting different configurations and uses.
