The key takeaways are that the stool is built using pocket hole joints and requires a pocket hole jig, handheld jigsaw, driver bit and screws. No glue is needed for assembly.

The steps are to mark the pieces, cut the shapes, bore the holes using the pocket hole jig, complete the drilling, attach the legs, and do the final assembly by screwing the top to the stretchers.

The materials required are 3/4 inch thick wood boards for the top, legs and stretchers in the dimensions listed on page 3.
