 DIY Bat HousesI made these bat houses over the weekend. Mosquitoes get pretty bad where I live and it is beneficial to have bats around as natural insect control. These definitely are not fine woodworking projects but they are fun, cheap and easy to make. I hope you like the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjbAb255M68  Future Projects #1: Hoe Handles out of what?! I was using one of my favorite hoes today, and was reminded that the handle is in sad shape. I have several hoes made by Rogue / Prohoe which are much better than any I’ve seen in local stores. Unfortunately, some have been left out in the weather – in some cases all winter. The handles are 60 inch ash and are not rot resistant. Long hoe handles are not seen at my local stores either. If I order replacements, they cost about half the cost of the tool, and shipping on ...  Easy Made Yard Dice!It’s more fun to be outside. Just in time for spring and summer.

Reclaimed Pine All-Weather Morris Chair #1: IntroductionHi all, I’ve been working on this Morris chair for the past 3 weeks and keeping pictures and my “blog entries” on imgur but I just realized that LumberJocks is a great place to keep the journey. I will be moving over a few entries at a time whenever I find the time. This is my first piece of furniture that is not a shop piece and it’s my first project that I’m finishing with something other than mineral oil and wax. These are the plans I’m using...  Outdoor Movie Projector CaddyOur family likes to have outdoor movies on warm Friday nights. I’ve already built a projector ‘screen’ (piece of plywood painted white and framed with stained deck wood), and have had to construct a projector base out of a plastic storage bin (which contained the projector, the large speaker, and associated cordage) flipped upside-down and propped up to the appropriate angle. My thought is to build the attached image out of PTL. There are no measurements yet as I’m ... Simple Built AC ScreenDon’t let your air conditioning unit make your yard look bad.

Cedar DeckLast spring I decided to replace the pressure-treated deck on the back of our house. It was only 7 years old but had not faired well in the Ohio weather. The rails had warped badly and the deck boards were cupping in too many places to warrant a selective repair. This picture is actually of the biggest spider web I have ever seen, but it is the only before picture I have. After the ubiquitous weeks of planning (and much discussion over copious cold ones) I recruited one of my riding bud...  Backyard Woodworking #1: Mahogany Adirondack ChairThis was my second attempt to make a chair. What made this all unique for me was that I used templates, a router table and mahogany for the first time!The wood is from reclaimed church pews that I got off of Craigslist for almost nothing.Best part is that I can make another one with all the templates that were made – so we’ll see about the second one.The wood is 1 1/2 inch thick and I used Teak Oil.I am not happy with what I am calling the ‘cloudy ends’ wh...
