Building a Step Stool
I learned how to measure and plan out how to build a step stool properly. Being organized and timely throughout the project was important, and I learned and mastered the art of planning out what to drill and cut first.
I spent the most time calculating the correct measurements. Building a frame was difficult, as I learned the importance of being as accurate as possible. The exterior was the most critical part of this project, which I humbly brag about because I built it perfectly. I finished my stool with an oil stain and engraved my signature on the bottom.
My classmates and I collaborated to create statues and art pieces by stacking and “jigsawing” our stools.
