The other day, I was working in the garage - excuse me - wood shop, and my neighbor dropped by. First, as I was wearing ear protection and listening to music, I didn't hear her approaching, and she scared the crap out of me. Second, I always get a little nervous when one of my neighbors stops...

For month I wanted to start this project. All I had was the rough idea what is should look like in my head. A video on what steps and what tools are necessary is going online shortly. I really enjoyed building it and would be glad to hear that some of you do so and copy the idea. But here are...

This project took a bit of scribbling on paper and computer-aided drawing (SketchUp) to get it right. Due to the two palm trees, the angle of the beams form a slightly acute triangle when viewed from above. Additionally, since it is near our fence, I was told by the city that it needed to pass...

My kids wanted a sand box and I kept putting it off, one day after I bought a storage cabinet my two daughters started playing Dora the Explorer in the box. The cabinet's box was the boat , and they played in that old box everyday till it fell apart. So I thought why not make the sandbox a multi...

We wanted my 2 year old to have a sandbox for her birthday, but without the commitment of digging up the backyard. Internet searching gave us the idea of a "sand table", but the examples we found online were not up to our standards ;) Wood: mostly pine, all from a big box store Legs - 24"...

A lady asked if I could build one of these after it was on Facebook a couple months ago. So today was her day. It's 8 feet by 6 feet and 12 inches tall when closed. Made of pressure treated pine. If anyone wants to build one, go to Ana White. Thanks for reading and all comments are welcome I...

I was approached by a very bossy 2 year old and asked to build a sandbox. She's so cute that you just can't say no :) So I did a drawing in Sketchup and went to My local Home Center and picked up all the materials to knock out this quick DIY Sandbox. I made a choice to keep it simple where it...

Sofa/Hall Table Australian Blackwood: Tapered legs, mitred lap joints, wedged through tenons (Ebony), butterflies. Finish - Kunos Natural Oil.

Here's a playset I made last summer with pressure treated lumber. It's pretty straightforward, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Me and my wife designed it ourselves, we drew some inspiration from other playsets we found online and pieced things together and then I flew by the seat of...

The first one is for my grandfather's flag and is made from cherry with walnut splines. He served our country during WWII in north Africa. The second one is for my aunt's father's flag and is made from bloodwood with ash splines. Both cases are lines with blue felt and in the lower box on the...

My boys needed a sandbox and my parents volunteered to buy the supplies as their birthday present if I'd build it. So here it is. I am trying to keep a Greene & Greene style throughout my backyard so,even on something as simple as a sandbox, I'm trying to incorporate their signature rounded...

My daughter in-law mailed me a clipping out of a magazine with a pic of a sailboat sandbox and asked if I could make one for my grandson. I used all Redwood and stainless screws with the black gate hinges and handles. They live on the coast at Corpus Christi, TX so we needed something that...

Simple 2×4 construction. I had leftover PT lumber from the pergola, so I whipped this little table up in a few hours. The only things I had to get was the sand and the handles, so total cost (in additional to what I had) was $15! As you can see, Andrew is already loving it. The dimensions...
