Fortunately for me, my mom-in-law asked if I could make a step ladder for her. I told her that I don't think I could make a strong step ladder as I did not know how. This chair which I saw on instructables kept flashing in my mind and as I had the balance plywood left from another of her projects ( which is still incomplete!) , I thought I'll use it, and if it comes right, I'll surprise her with it! Note: I was not able to locate 5/4×2 at my local big box store. Instead, I used my table saw to rip 5/4×4 to 1-1/2″. Step 1. Cut the Front Legs

Since you’ll be making a lot of angled cuts and precision is important to this design, I highly recommend you review my tips for adjusting your miter saw for accurate cuts and the best way to adjust a table saw blade for precision cuts. Popular Mechanics have an excellent tutorial for those who are brave enough to try out curves. I, however am not so experienced and I wasn't sure if I could get all those connections nice and tight.

If you like you can simply buy some hooks and fix it. but I felt this was much more sturdy and strong. I used some slats for this. I used the template from the magazine and adjusted it to make it more beginner friendly. You can easily draw the pattern on graph paper as I did. All measurements are in inches. If you really want the cutouts in the side panels you can always draw the pattern and cut off the section with a jigsaw. As this was my fist time making this I didn't want to try it as I felt it will compromise the strength ( I am of course over cautious! ) Measure 13/16″ on one end and make a 90-degree cut. This cut would be dangerous to make on a miter saw. I used my bandsaw to make this cut, but you could also use a jigsaw or crosscut jig and a circular saw. For the best fit of the cleats, it’s best to place the wood in position, mark the angles and cut. The top cleat is flush with the top rail, the middle cleat is flush with the top of the middle rail and the bottom rail is flush with the bottom of the bottom rail.

The other way round, you can use a chair to reach high placed objects or to paint that wall but it’s maybe not the safest way to do so. Usit combines best of two worlds. It is a stylish, comfortable chair as well as a safe to use stepladder. As you will notice from the link above. My chair is different in design. I adjusted the original, so that it would be more beginner friendly and less of a hassle. Apply glue to the cleats, clamp in position and attach using 1-1/4″ wood screws.

Cut and Attach the Front Step Support I’ve often used a stepladder as a chair in a pinch, but this ladder chair looks so much more comfortable! Arredamenti Ladder Chair is an Italian-made convertible step stool that also functions as a dining room chair or extra seat for guests. A few months ago my aunt asked me if I remembered my grandmother’s “little chair”. She went on to say the chair had a permanent home in my grandma’s kitchen and the unique thing about this antique “blah brown” chair was that it had a multipurpose. It also flipped into a ladder. I didn’t remember the chair, but I knew exactly what she was talking about.
