Kevin makes a bucket stool with Ben Uyeda, a maker best known for his design-based online videos.

Where to find it?

Ben Uyeda is a design-based maker who focuses on using readily available materials for all projects. In addition to social media, his how-to videos are available on his blog at HomeMade Modern.

All the materials Ben used for the project, including the Quikrete, the five-gallon bucket, hand saw, and wooden dowel, can be found at most home centers. Be sure to have an additional bucket handy to pour water for the concrete.

Chain saws can be purchased or rented at most home centers and landscape supply stores. All chain saws have the same safety features included with them, regardless of the type of chain saw it is.

Three-handle shower valves are no longer up to code due to a risk of scalding, and should be replaced with a single-handle, pressure-balanced one, particularly if the shower is used regularly or will be used by children. Pressure-balanced shower valves can be found at home centers or plumbing supply stores. You can also purchase cover plates that can hide holes left behind in the tiles when the valves are swapped.

When repairing existing three-handle valves, finding the correct components requires some detective work. Home centers have a book you can use to help you match up the correct parts, or you can go to a plumbing supply store and they will usually have the parts that you need.

Tub sockets and the other materials required to complete this project can also be found at home centers and plumbing supply stores.
