How to Build a Wall-Mount Lumber Rack (on YouTube) My workshop will always need to be a garage first and woodworking shop second. To help with my lumber storage, I decided to build my own lumber rack. I scoured Pinterest for ideas, but I couldn't quite find a design that mounted to a wall while...

Just finished a quick saw till to get them off the benchtop and make some room. Details on the blog.

A coworker of mine commissioned this box for glass storage for stained glass project prices. It's super simple 3/4 ply with dowel joints and thru dados for 1/4 ply dividers which were shaped to allow for easy access. The dividers are a snug fit, but are not glued if the need ever arises for...

This homemade trash can cyclone is designed from Thien's plans. A lot of you might have already heard and seen his homemade cyclone idea before. I'm here to say it's the best dust collection system for the price. I hope some large company doesn't come along and somehow steal his idea; he...

It's been quite a while since I've been able to post anything on here. It's good to be back. This is a shop project that's been a long time coming. I wanted all of my handsaws to be in one place so I made this handsaw caddy. I based the design on some plans I downloaded from somewhere. I'm sure...

Soooo…. this just happened. I have spent the past couple weeks optimizing and improving my table saw capacity. Creating a dedicated system for my saw was priority #1. Made out of 2×4's, plywood subbase top, with melamine top. had to split top due to rack/pinion fence track of the dewalt...

Hello LJs! I've got a sweet and simple project this time. A Forstner bit stand. As usual, I made a super short video of how I did it. The whole thing is made from some scrap 1/2" plywood that was left over from another project. It can be made in less than an hour. Not much more to say than...

First pic is my dust collector for the new Rigid shop vac I just bought. Thanks to everyone who built one before me. Mine is not pretty but it works very well. After sweeping up about 7 gallons of mainly MDF dust, the filter was still very clean. Number 2 is my new drill press table, Mdf...

My first lumberjocks project. My three-year-old son likes hats and doesn't have a way to display them so I thought I'd make him a rustic hat rack. This is made entirely of cedar from my parents' farm. I had a little difficulty getting the pegs to sit flush with the board but I decided to just go...

Function: This Cutoff Cart fits my work style. It has a convenient home under the TS extension, and next to the RAS. As you can see, each module can be picked up and brought to a comfortable height for choosing a piece of wood or culling them. Each module has a rod handle at the front so that...

Currently in my shop I am limited on my number of larger tools. I have a miter saw that I have been using for all of my cross-cuts and a circular saw for ripping down sheet goods. However, after watching many videos on Youtube of the capabilities of a radial arm saw, and hearing Jay Bates say he...

I moved from a garage workshop to a dedicated basement room workshop. These are a few projects that I completed for the new shop area. I focused a lot more on dust collection. I modified a harbor freight dust collector so the fan sits on a new cabinet. The cabinet has a 2X2 frame on the...
