In this guide we will teach you how to build an easy step stool that is easy to take apart and rebuild.
Supplies
- (4) 90 degree connectors
- (2) 10ft Sticks of 3/4" EMT conduit
- 7/8" rubber feet
- Wooden top
- (4) 3/4" EMT one hole straps
- (optional) Shrink wrap
Step 1: Measure & Cut
The first step is measuring and cutting the pipes we need. We recommend this metal pipe and tube cutter.
We need:
- (6) 24" pipes
- (2) 20" pipes
Step 2: (Optional) Add Shrink Wrap
If you decide to use shrink wrap add it now with a heat gun.
Step 3: Add the Rubber Feet to the Bottom of 4 of the 24" Pipes
Simply slide the rubber feet to the bottom of the pipes to keep from scratching the floor when using the stool. They also keep it from sliding when using.
Step 4: Connect the Vertical Pipes
Add the last two 24" pipes long ways in the front and back. Then add the two 20" pipes on the sides.
Step 5: Secure the Wooden Board
Use the one hole straps to secure the top to the stool.
