Step 6
It’s time to start
putting together our
step stool. Place six to
seven small X marks
spaced out evenly
inside the two lines on
oneofyoursidepieces.
For the other side piece
turn it around so that
it’s a mirror image of
thepieceyoujustplace
the Xs on. In other words, the two side pieces are facing different
directions. Place the Xs on the outside of the other side piece now.
Puta1/8”twistbitin
your brace drill and
drill pilot holes at the X
marks all the way
through the side
pieces. Using 1 5/8”
drywall screws insert
them into the holes on
one side piece just far
enough for the point to
stick through the other
side. Now position the
side piece onto the step
making sure to align it between the two lines. Press the step piece onto
the side so that the tips of the screws make an indention on the edge of
the step. Remove the side and now with your brace and 1/8” bit drill
pilot holes into the step. This is to keep the step from splitting when the
screws are inserted.
