Build At Home: Step Stool
Join New York artist and woodworker, Jackie Frole, for this fun and interactive workshop to learn some basic woodworking skills while making a useful step stool for your home. In this virtual workshop, you will review tool safety and best practices, then Jackie will guide you through building your own step stool using what you learned. The stool has two steps and the total dimensions of the step stool are 16” wide x 16” deep x 7.75” tall. Your ticket price includes the instruction and the materials for your project. A kit of materials will be shipped to you the week prior to the workshop. Shipping costs for your project materials kit are not included in the cost of the workshop.
