This is a bed that was completed in February 2010. It is a murphy bed turned sideways with a chalkboard and a wide bookcase. I've build a sideways chalkboard bed before but not with the desk style bookcase on the end. The problem with the horizontal murphy wall beds is unless you place it in...

Since in my basement workshop space is always in issue, I devised and built this space saving lathe tool sharpening station. Six tools are revolving on three Lazy Susan platforms, giving me instant access to any of them. The important aspect is that all six tools take only 58 inches long of...

I've been planing to build a dedicated miter saw station for a while but had a few restrictions and considerations I wanted to make sure I addressed. - First off, I wanted it to be affordable-> lumber cost for this build = $90. - Next I wanted to keep the footprint relatively small (same as the...

I just built this simple stand to hold our lawn edger (an old Black and Decker Edge Hog). We keep it in a narrow storage room beside the garage. It's a bit heavy, so we store it on the floor instead of hanging from the wall, and I never liked how much space it occupied. It's nearly four feet...

This is a Horizontal Alpine murphy bed with some modifications. I added a full length desk to the face of the wall bed. The desk top folds up and two wings hinge around to support the top. Even though gravity holds the desk top down, I needed top put a latch on it so that when the bed opens...

Well I finally made up my mind and did something about it. When I first built my shop I envisioned putting my dust collector in a small building against one outside wall of my shop. Then after going through a summer here in Texas without being able to go into the shop due to the heat and...

This is a platform style bed that was completed in May 2013. I call it the Katelyn Platform Bed I built this one a little different. Usually I band or cover any exposed edges on maple plywood. On this one I switched to MDF and left the edges raw. This gave it a little darker edge on the...

Hey Everyone, it's been a while since I've actually been in the garage a.k.a. "my workshop" building things. But I am now back at it. I found myself in the position were I didn't have any place to store small appliances and my pantry space was very limited. In fact, I have one split cabinet...
