  1. Custom Sign

    I made this sigh for a guy who wanted to hang it up out side of his camping trailer. I made it from an off cut of poplar with the bark still attached. Sorry I didn't get a pic of the back. It was about 24" long and 8" - 10" high and 2" thick. I did all the letters free hand with a router...
  2. Deck

    The pool side deck was in need of a rebuild. This was my first deck I've tackled on my own. I wanted to do something different from the traditional straight boards on the top and opted for this pattern. Overall it turned out great! Note: The right hand post was left taller to accommodate a...
  3. Wishing Well Style Planter

    I came across a large pile of reclaimed truck flooring wood (Asian Woods) and did not know what to do with it. One day I decided to build a flower planter. When I first started I wanted it to be something plain and simple. My friend and neighbor saw what I was doing and offered his help in...

  6. Outdoor Spiral Stairs

    Once upon a time… You know how it goes. The other day I was out on the deck looking at a spiral stairs I had built about twenty years ago. I use them every day and wonder how I would connect the two decks without them. Yes, I have built numerous outdoor projects, but this is the one for...
  7. Sassafras Wood Box

    My parents burn a lot of wood in the winter and their current wood box is probably about 20 years old and falling apart. So enter the wood box 2.0. The dimensions are 4ft wide x 4ft tall x 2ft deep, so it should hold about 1/4 cord of fire wood. I made it out of sassafras due to its rot...

  9. For the Birds

    I don't know if a bird will be interested in staying in this cat shaped birdhouse or not, but its bright enough they should be able to spot it from way up high! I am looking forward to hanging this in the spring and seeing how the birds react to it. Even if it doesn't get used at least it will...

  15. Wishing You Well!

    I had a tree in my front yard that was dead and needed to be cut down. To avoid removing the stump I decided to cover it with a wishing well. I found the design I wanted. I had order the prints from Woodcraft U-Bild no 371, which were terribly outdated and offered no new insite to construction...

  18. Finishing
    I'm building a batten door for a shed because it seems like the cheap, sturdy option. I will be using tongue and groove boards.
