Youngest grandson has started the "I want to help" stage but can't reach anything taller than a chipmonk so I combined a couple ideas from others and came up with this. Posts and rails are 5/4 x 4. Rest of the frame is 1x2 and 1x3s. Platforms are just lumberyard pine. The height can be adjusted in 4" increments. I used select grade to help prevent any weakness knots may have. Couple rattle cans of Krylon and some felt pads on the bottom. Don't think I had to use the 5/4. 1" is what all the plans called for. Daughter saw it today and now I have to make another one for our place. That's ok - I can improve and change a couple things. And I didn't use the CNC on anything!!

Nice John! I've got 7 of those little people running around here at times. They love playing in Granny's bubbles. 🙂 I have to hold them up to the sink to get a handful. Great project!

Very nice, John! But the CNC needs to get some involvement - carve their names on the rails or something.

They will quickly use it to get into mischief. But what a neat project.

Nice work John and I bet the little one really enjoys helping you!

My wife gets upset every time she sees grandparents with small grandkids. Neither of our children had grandkids for us to spoil.

That looks really cool. Just wait until he figures out the sprayer on the faucet!

Well done. Wait until he learns to use it as a ladder.
