Instructions

Step 1: Measure

Measure 14 inches on the wood planks, and mark for cutting. You will need six pieces of 14-in wood for the footrest.

Step 2: Angle

For the base, mark 3 inches from the top and bottom the wood block. From each 3-inch mark, draw a line to the opposite edge of the block at a 10-degree angle.
