Step 12Test fit and adjustment
With all the pieces glued up to form strong pieces, I put the stepladder together to check that everything was kosher.
I found that the stepladder didn't lock firmly into a level position when open. The plans I was using had a piece of wood at the top of the steps which sits firmly against the top when open, which I left out in favour of a third step.
You could fix this problem in a number of ways, I simply found some small bolts with large heads and screwed them into the top of the step supports, these sit solidly against the top when the stepladder is in the open position.
