I had back surgery in Dec. of 2018. I was not able to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk. I hurt to say the least. But, I was very bored. While I was getting to the point that I could move around, I designed this little step stool out of some pine that was given to me. The pine that I used was very pitchy and a mess to work with. The front legs are attached to the back legs with a sliding dovetail. (hand cut). Sawing took me about 2 hours because of the back pain. The steps are attached with double tenon mortise/tenon. Two coats of milk paint.
The picture above does not look like pine, but it was---really.

galloping my imaginary pony outside the cottage, sucking the sweet green
candy...
