\"Start
Start with the sides. I used premium 1×12 pine for this project. Cut the two sides 22 inches long.
I used a large compass to layout the the top radius and a 1 quart paint can for the bottom radius between the legs.
A band-saw was used to cut the outside curves, but a jig or sabre saw would work fine as well. For the bottom half circle, I made a series of cuts up from the bottom just short of the layout line about 1\/2 inch apart. This allowed the waste to fall away as I cut on the waste side of the line with a wide blade.
For the top hand hold I used a 1-1\/2 inch forstner bit at each end and then a sabre saw for the upper and lower joining cuts.
A belt sander was used to smooth the upper outside radius, and spindle sanders cleaned up the lower inside radius and the upper handhold.
I used a 1\/8 inch round-over bit on all edges.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The steps were cut 14-1\/2 inches long from the same stock used to make the sides, and then the lower narrow step was ripped 4-1\/2 inches wide, the remaining piece served as the wider upper step. These are jointed to the sides with dado and tenon joints.
A 5\/8 inch router bit was used to cut the stopped dado in the sides. Two passes were made, one at 3\/16 and the other at 3\/8 inch deep. A chisel was used to square it up.
About 1\/16 inch of material was removed from the end of each step to make the tenon. Take the time to make small fence adjustments and sneak up on a snug fit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Before
Before doing the glue-up, I sanded the inside faces of the pieces.
The joints were first glued, then clamped, and finally fastened with a 16 gauge finish nailer. I marked the centers of the joints on the outside to accurately position the nailer. I left the clamps on over night.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Make sure to check that it sets flat before finishing. I use the top of my table saw for a flat surface. My block plane was used to make small adjustments on the feet.
I used a semi-glass polyurethane to finish the stool. I did a light sand between each coat. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
