I'm not sure if a Stool is actually a "Tool" but for this exercise I am making it so. For a few years now I have been using an old Bar Stool in my workshop beside my laptop computer. I use the stool enough for zoom meeting and just Internet browsing for information that it has become a mainstay in my workshop.
Transform Your Workshop: DIY Sit & Step Stool Build
One of the features of this old stool is that it has some lower rungs that I sometimes try to stand on to reach things high up in my shop, like changing light bulbs or other audio wires or adjustments but never put full weight on the rungs as I don't trust them. What I need is a stool that can double as a small stepping stool as well ...

I happen to grow Orchids and have for a long time, I don't have many and they don't always get the care they need and they let me know that by NOT producing flowers.

I have been putting of upgrading the temporary stand I made for my oscillating sander, for something like 10 years now. Time to get this thing made. During this time I have accumulated a decent amount of "spare" wood including Beech, Oak and Maple that I will be able to use in the making of this stand.
Unlock Your Sander: Build The Perfect Oscillating Sander Stand!
The current stand is all wasted space under the the actual sander, so I decide to install 3 drawers, which will still give me easy access under the sander for cleaning, and it will still allow the stand and sander to be somewhat mobile, but I am not going to install wheels.
