Step 8
The top is all that’s left in the
construction of our step stool.
Measure the distance between the
sides and add an inch to the
measurement, it should equal 16”.
Center the top and place Xs to show
where you want to place screws in all
four corners. Clamp the top down to
secure it from moving while you drill
pilot holes. Again, drill out a larger
hole for the screw heads.

Step 9
Now is the time also to smooth over
all the outside edges of the step stool
just to make it feel better to the touch.
Next, using wood putty, fill in all the
screw holes. Allow the putty to dry
and sand it flush. All that’s left is
deciding what color to paint your
step stool.
