Hello Awesomest DIY Folks Ever, and Happy Monday!
Toliy (who's been sorta interning with me this summer) will be working with us for another couple of weeks before he heads back to college, and he's been wanting to make an adjustable height stool to match the sawhorse desk we made a while back.
To refresh - this sawhorse desk goes from desk -
To a tallish coffee table by just adjusting bolts. You can find the plans here. Yup, 2x4s and all-thread.
Now for a stool to match ...
After quite a few tweaks and trips to the hardware store ...
I think we finally nailedbolted it!
It ended up being much simpler than we had thought. We just attached a floor flange to the underside of the seat (I suggest a more comfortable seat if you plan on sitting on this stool for long periods of time), and then screwed a piece of all-thread into that flange.
Then made a base out of 2x2s, and drilled holes in it to hold the all-thread,
And then just used bolts and washers to secure the all-thread to the stool at the top and bottom of the cross supports.
Once we got this stool figured out, it's acutally pretty easy to build!
Enjoy the plans following!

PS- I'd love to make a taller stool too! If you'd like to see a taller stool, let me know in the comments.
