Re: Staircase upgrade
One question I have is how do you fix a continuous handrail to the spindles ? I'm also thinking about removing the newels and mocking up the two key turns to get the look and feel right for the handrail. Just a tad concerned about not having a bannister for some time. EDIT: I think I may be able to...

Re: Plywood kitchen
lt would not be my choice of carcase construction but it gives you a starting point.
Judging by the very expensive looking house and appliances l would not dream of making the carcase out
of nothing more than shuttering plywood

You can make them any size, the limiting factors are generally comfort, appliances and if you want to make the drawer boxes or work with standard size stock items, this is a rough guide without knowing the details

Re: How would you make this step stool?
Pete, I have made a few of these, mostly 2 step, the 3 stepper is quite dangerous as the top step is immediately above the foot below it which can make it unstable, have a look at the proportion of a normal set of kitchen steps.

Any machine in a non-insulated workshop is liable to dampness, the blankets are a good start, my workshop is 300 yards from the Atlantic l use blankets to cover my machines when not in use.
What is the machined board is your CNC made from ?

put in as many screws as you like, I also fit my adjustable feet to the frame.
It is a rough and ready drawing but you get the idea
