Storage Stool

this is a stool with a storage compartment that is exposed after lifting the seat (  haha )

1/2 inch plywood
6 1/4 PVC pipe
4 1/2 PVC pipe
2x2 in. wood
1 1/2 in. wood screws
padding (upholstery foam or other comfortable padding)
material
 TOOLS
rotary tool with cut off discs
drill
jig saw
staple gun

cut your pipe to the desired height
the inner pipe must be slightly shorter than the outer pipe
my measurement for the outer pipe is 16 inches
but feel free to change that.
i went with this measurement to go with my tension table www.instructables.com/id/Tension-Table/

for this i didnt take any measurements at all
i just started hacking away until it looked good

first cut the 2x2 wood to fit tightly inside the inner pipe.
next make the wood flush with the top of the PVC then drill put the wood screws into the sides of the wood.
next attach the stool top by screwing into the wood from the top.


to attach the storage bottom cut a circle out of the plywood that will fit into the inner pipe.
then do the same thing as in the beginning of this step but make it look like in the picture.

the pictures are in order with the instructions
if you have foam then skip until i say so
first staple the end of the padding to the side of the stool top
 next fold the padding over until desired thickness is met.
STOP SKIPPING
next staple the covering material to the bottom of the stool top
then wrap it to the other side then staple again.
do the same with the other sides.

enjoy your new storage stool
