  4. Projects Reclaimed Cedar Blanket Chest

    So a couple of years ago I completed a deck replacement at my house, and when I removed the old (painted red) decking, handrails, fascia, etc., I realized they were all cedar.

    This is ukelele case for a local musican. He plays ukelele professionally, and wanted a very durable case that could stand up to a beating if need be. And he wanted it made out of recycled wood, if possible he requested. So With luck I chose a very weathered piece of 3/4 inch ply and took...

  19. The savage workbench

    Finally cleared out one side of garage. Since I hear the thing you need most is a workbench, even if what you want to build is a workbench… I built this twisted bastard from salvaged wood. I figured just a wood vise and surface would be a great help. I was correct. Top is a salvaged laminate...
