General schematic view of such a stool in a completed form and drawing (already it is possible to do with your hands):
We don’t know for sure whose head first appeared the idea «crossing» ladders and stools, but we can only rejoice in the ingenuity of the individual, whose invention of the stepladder-stool – helped in the household of a great number of people. Useful stool can be in the kitchen, pantry or other similar place to reach out with his rise to the top shelves of the problematic but still necessary.
This stool-ladder can be done by hand from scrap materials. In this article you will learn one way how to make stool—ladder that helps to climb to the top shelves.
First we need to take the source material for the ladder. For example, as source material goes otfugovannymi old window frames. Tree, used to make such products, perfectly preserved. All thanks to the generous coating of a thick layer of paint, to protect from negative influences. But still, they should carefully examine, as a rule, boards to make the sides of the window frame, already dry out and become unreliable material for building creativity.
After preparing the wood to build the stool-ladder in the first place you need to put together the seat with your hands, which continue to focus in creating the entire stool. The seat should be pretty high (over 2 cm), and have a pretty significant size to be able to sit on it. Here it is better to choose size 35*35 cm.
The legs of the stool should be the length of about two feet, to be wide enough to create a proper focus on the ground and ability to withstand the weight of a person.
In order to connect the components of the stool and they disintegrated at the first load, it is necessary to attach with your own hands foot stool-ladder seat.
The step is done on the same principle as a stool, according to the above drawing, with only one difference that the size of its smaller stools-ladders. As you can see, the chart shows that with one pair of legs of the stool are shorter than the other. In this shorter pair of legs of the stool necessary to make a hole having a diameter of 12 millimeters. It is necessary for the rods, which would rotate the whole structure.
For fixing drilled holes for the screws around the core holes. Install the rods into their designated holes of the stool and make sure that their centers were located at the same distance from the legs of the stool-ladders.
To provide increased resistance steps, it is necessary to work hard on the fulcrum that she was good not only in the open state, but folded. You need to drill and attach another wooden plank from the bottom edge of the legs of the stool-stairs to her popereka.
To get rid of aesthetically unappealing many caps screws, they can be glued with glue, then cut with a hacksaw. Due to visual similarity, they are not very contrastivity in its color.

The extreme legs of the stool should be placed so that they rested on the floor with a 90-degree angle and the long angle of 70-80 degrees, but the basis of their need to stand firmly on the floor. Long legs are connected between a three wood, so they play the role of steps. For each step before that has to be carved a certain recess in which they are placed. For the strength they are filled with carpenter’s glue and hammered nails.
Next, you should attach the straps to the shorter legs of the stepladder stool. For greater reliability they are attached thus: one at the top and bottom, and one diagonally on the legs of the stool. Also, to fix the design of the stool diagonally, connect small and large feet on both sides.
