A lady came to me one day and brought the cast iron shelf support and asked me to build her a swing to high light it, and this was the out come. Then I saw a cast iron backed bench and took it one step further and made a four foot swing with a cast iron back, it came out pretty good. I stained...

This was a fun weekend project with Daniel. I documented it here in my first blog. I broke down and got a photobucket account to post blogs- just don't make me get facebook!

My second attempt at building a swing. Made this one for a family member.

This was a gift for my parents this past Christmas. They had one at their lakehouse for the past 10 years and a tornado recently picked it up and threw it into the lake. I wanted to build it exactly like the one they had, so I was able to take an old picture of the original and scale it out so...

My neighbors down the road threw out a bunch of old 2X6's during a remodel. So, I salvaged them and made this porch swing out of it. Added the duck from a piece of cedar I had to add a little decoration to it. Covered it all with Thompson's Water Seal (not pictured).

My custom design an build.

There was no tree on our 2 acre property that would be acceptable for my infant sons swing. So as a determined mother this is what I came up with after HOURS of grueling research on Google. Once I started, it took about 3 days, and that's in between working as a construction labour, dirty...

Just finished my Lazy Days porch swing. Earlier I posted pictures of my "Grandpa and Grandma" Adirondack chairs and bench. This swing compliments those very nicely. I used Cedar for this project, its my favorite outdoor wood to use. The finish is Penofin Premium transparent ceda. To...

As a father, i could never imagine getting the news that one of my children were ill, especially with something as serious as Cancer. So when i saw our local home developer (Elliot Homes) that does the annual St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway, here on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I reached out to see...

6 foot swing I made for the neighbor.

Sign making is my latest passion. I've done about 18 of them so far and have a couple on the drawing boards. You can see more at my website gifts4thee.com, then click on "custom carved signs".

My son loves airplanes and he loves swings, so I thought I'd combine them into this airplane swing. No plans, just something I drew up using the Red Baron's Fokker DR-1 as inspiration. Took about 60-70 hours to complete. The propeller spins, the "control stick" is spring-loaded for fun, the...

My mother in law came up with a good idea. She thougt it would be nice for the kids with a simple swing that could be hanged in one of the many trees on her property. I had just disassembled a pallet from some kind of unidentified deciduous type of wood so one of the biggest planks came in...

I made this carving set for a charity auction for Drew's Crew for Cystic Fibrosis. The Knife is Made in the USA by Dexter-Russell. The handles are Marblewood treated with five coats of Waterlox. Thanks for Looking. For more information on Cystic Fibrosis you can go to...

I didn't make this table I just redesigned it. Our neighbor put this table out for the trash man to take. It seemed so cute I brought it home (same way we got the dog). I didn't think to take a "before" photo but picture #2 is pretty close. It originally had two small drawers. The little woman...

I finished my first swing last week for a customer. I used pine for the frame and popular for the seat slates. They wanted the seating to be 6 feet. The swing had to have cup holders and the chain could not come through the arms. It was a fun project

I made this furniture from cedar fence board purchased from a big box store. This seemed like a good idea at first, but if I had a mulligan I would pay a bit extra for better stock. I used plans for the chairs and improvised with the ottomans and porch swing. I can't say that I use the...

While these are not new projects ( these pictures are almost 20 years old ), this is how I supported my family for around 20 years. I will update this a little later with the story of how, BUILT TO LAST WOODWORKS, came to be. It might help someone just starting or planing on starting a full time...
