  1. Challenge06....a whole bunch of firsts

  2. Our Gorilla "Great Outdoor" coffee table / stair board

    This coffee table was designed for our motor home. It stores nicely next to the bench during travel. It covers the hole of the stairs during the night, so none of the children will fall into this cavity. And when we are set up at a campground we use it as coffee or dining table. The NON-wood...

    I made a brace (Couple of these) benches for use outdoors. They are both the same, its just that the first bench has been outside weathering for about 12 months. It is darker than the pictures show. The arms because of the end grain have darkened the most. The plans came from Wood Magazine...
