So as a new/noob woodworker, I have been using Pallet wood for my projects. I had a couple people request these Crossword/Scrabble wall art with their family names so I tried it out with pallet wood. Hand painted letters by paint pen. I learned a lot and spent a lot of hours using the orbital...

I just finished two "biscuit tables" for the family room. Called such, due to all joinery being biscuit joinery. I know… not everyone's favorite, but what I chose. The tables are solid poplar with bread-board tops, and 'mission oak' stain with several coats of lacquer.

Family room built ins built for my neighbor. He asked for my help with completing this project for he and his family. Hope you like it.

Our small town, Fairbury, Illinois, pop. 3,800…....still has a couple of jail cells in our 1892 old City Hall. Although it would make a great photo op for citizens and visitors to take their pictures, it needs a lot of renovation work…....and it is so small that it is hard to get a picture in...

My sons and I have been building this backyard playhouse. I designed it last summer to create a structure that had the feel and look of a treehouse despite not have a tree worthy of the structure. The goal was to have some great features that would give them a great place to let their...

Birdhouses Clock This was a strange Christmas gift I made of rough cedar and a bunch of fig branches from my fig tree. The birdhouses I collect from Michaels craft store with their 50% off coupons which makes them 50 cents. The idea is for my grand kids to decorate the birdhouses and hang them...

I found an old cedar chest that was sitting in my great, great grandfather's garage when we were cleaning his house after he passed away. From what history my family knew of it, it was at least 100 years old, and may have come across the ocean when some of the family migrated from over seas. It...

TL;DR: Wife is pregnant after a miscarriage earlier this year. I made a little family tree thing I saw in a cute Christmas movie that I recommend everyone watch. Back in September, a few days before my wife's birthday, we found out we were going to have a miscarriage. I think I speak for both...

This was by Far the best 2 days spent building with my sons this past summer.

Shingles were a bonus from a neighbor...

It took forever, but I finally got the bed finished and up in my son's room… And my little helper!

Once I said to my oldest daughter, "I don't want to do things for you, but I would love to do things with you." I think she took offense to that … at first. As time went by, I think she understood what I meant. Life is made up of time spent. Some of the most wonderful time is spent doing...

Little Logger Thomas the Engine is big stuff with little people. So big, the cost of equipment to supply the desires of children and grandchildren is extraordinary. So when I was able to come upon a Log Loader for my grandson's Thomas the Engine Log Hauling Train Cars, at a used price, I was...
