Trestle Leg Plant Stand In 2018 a large ash tree was blown down in my neighbors yard. I was fortunate enough for him to allow me to have access to cut the tree up into natural edge slabs. Now that the wood is dry I made a plant stand that can be assembled as a kit for shipping. The screws in...

I think I have the details of where I got the idea for the base of these plant stands on another post. I'm clearing out some end of year materials and crafting as much unique stuff as I can. I have a liking to plant stands because they really never have to be the same. Thanks for lookin'! Be...

I'm making a seed starting grow station from walnut and cement in this one. The LED lights are attached to the walnut shade and suspended from the arm by wire. This makes it easy to adjust the light up and down depending on the needs of the seeds & seedlings. The stand features a bridle joint...

This project was to improve on the "Earth Box" means of locomotion as it pertains to the roughness of our patio. The wheels that most products use are usually only good for "smooth" surfaces. In addition, I wanted to add a means of pulling since the "Earth Box is not equipped with any means of...
