After watching the movie "National Treasure" umpteen million times in an effort to glean a clear view of the chair young Ben Gates flips over to become a quite substantial step-stool at the beginning of the movie, and googling till blue in the face, I decided to seek help. . .so here I am! Is anyone familiar with this configuration and could perhaps post a plan, site, link or whatever. I have seen the cute little plywood sheet good plans and after the required guffaw resumed searching. Of course a plan would be preferable but I think I could work from a couple of good pics. TIA
Looking for a plan,

I've heard it was invented by Ben Franklin (a nice addition to the movie), so adding that to your googling might help. Also search the archives of this group.
