Now you will want to assemble the stool in two parts. Do each half separate. Make sure you drill your holes for the screws so you don’t split the wood. Also you need to make sure everything is flush and even as you assemble.
We did two screws on each board and we screwed into the leg pieces from the top. This picture is with the pieces upside down so you can see how to put in the side piece but unfortunately it doesn’t show the screw holes. The supply list says 20 screws but in all reality you will most likely use just 16. We threw in a few extra on the list just in case you drop a couple mid project.
When the stool is finished you will see 8 screws heads from the top and they go down into the the legs. Two screws in each leg piece.
Then the 12″ side piece is screwed on in between the legs and the screws go on the underside up into the bottom of the top pieces. You should not see these screw heads from the top. They will be on the bottom.
Again this picture is from right before we drilled the pilot holes. We drilled them in from the bottom just as the stool is laid out in the picture.
I can’t wait to make this. I need three in my house. Thank you for sharing the tutorial.

They are super easy to make which is why I can’t make them too often! LOL. Now you can make them whenever you want since you have some starter!!! <3
