How to make a stool with No More Nails

Create a functional and stylish stool, without using a single nail, thanks to Bostik No More Nails! Begin by measuring and cutting a flat wood panel to a 12–15-inch square. Drill holes into it using a hole saw, then chisel matching wooden pegs from 2×2 lumber to fit as the stool legs. Apply a generous layer of No More Nails to each peg, insert them into the holes with a slight outward angle, and let it bond securely. A quick sanding smooths out any rough edges, and you’ll be left with a reliable, DIY seat that looks great and performs even better. Ready in just a couple of hours—no hardware needed! 🪑⏱️✨

Instructions

Step 1: Measure

Measure 12–15 inches on the flat wooden palette. Cut with an electric or regular saw.

Step 2: Mark

Lay the flat wood horizontally. Measure 1 inch from each side and 3/4 inch from the top. Mark where you will drill holes, which should be the same size as your hole saw (32 mm).

Step 3: Chisel away

For the stool’s legs, measure 5 inches each on the 2 x 2 wood. Using a saw, cut the wood at a slight angle. Match the height of the round peg with the thickness of your flat wood. Be sure to use a bigger-sized hole saw (38 mm). Chisel away at the wood around the round peg.
