built for yard behind shop . I also built fire pit and rest .

_*I didn't have the time to build anything new for this contest, because of Barb's recent illness. It has interfered with shop time. During her recovery, I'm now the chief cook, & bottle washer. ;) Martin said we could enter something old. How about 25 years old? This project was done in two...

Made a small children's swing for our pending arrival to hang from our pergola on the patio. Inspiration for this project was from BuilderB's project (http://lumberjocks.com/projects/66839) from a little over a week ago. It's made out of cedar and about 99% scrap that I had laying around...

I didn't do this, my son built it. He's a chip off the old block, doesn't work from plans, just does it. It has 2 slides, a rope ladder, numerous regular ladders, 3 swings, 1 climbing wall, 1 trapdoor, 1 fireman's pole, 1 mail box, 1 rope climb, 1 steering wheel, 1 lookout with telescope, a...

This swing is 6' long and made from 5/4 pressure treated lumber. It has a relief cut in the seat and a contoured back so it is really comfortable. Thanks for looking

The porch swing we have had for 7 years, had to be the ugliest swing i think i had ever seen (second picture). We got it unfinished and I finished it…this is before i got into woodworking. I had no prior experience in finishing AT ALL, and it showed. I stained it but didn't put any kind of...

I designed this to fit in the smaller part of my backyard outside our pool fence. I looked at as many online sets as possible and took what I thought were the best things from each. I saved a ton of money by being creative. I found this bigger slide free on craigslist. The rest of the plastic...

Here is my first project of the spring. My wife bought our 8 month old son a swing since he liked the ones at the park so much. We did not have a suitable tree to hang it in and since we move so much I wanted something we could take with us if needed. My first attempt at building this failed...

I found a picture of this swing on Ana White's website which led me to the Whitney's Workshop site where I found the plans for this swing. I pretty much followed her directions and was really happy with the final product. I made this swing as a gift at my mother's 60th birthday party. All the...

This is from a plan I bought from Wood Magazine store. It's made from 5/4 "Santa Maria" tropical hardwood (certified sustainable). This required no stain what so ever. I finished it off with spar varnish as a top coat.

I just finished another swing. I use IPE wood this time. The local hardwood store only had 4/4 Ipe wood. So I had to glue up a lot of wood to get an 8/4. That was no fun. I just rubbed it down with Tung oil. Used titebond III and exterior screws. This is very very hard and heavy wood. I had to...

Feb 15, 2016 I've always wanted to make a porch swing but didn't have a porch. My younger son recently bought a house that had a porch so for Christmas I decided to make this their present. Instead of making a porch swing with flat seat and back, I decided to make one with a contoured...

This is a porch swing I made for my mother's birthday. It's cherry and ash, stained a walnut color.

I built this swing so that beautiful my wife and I could swing while out at the fire pit or swing towards our pool. Yes I guess that I could have made just an old fasioned single swing and switched it around whjch ever direction we wanted to look, but that's not how I think. The swing does work...

She is my best friend, my wife, Laura, for the last 32 years. She misses the front porch swing she had at her home in Jenner, PA. We finally have a place to install a swing, and this was my summer project. The swing is about five feet wide and is made of sassafras and walnut. It was finished...

This is a swing made from rough eastern red cedar lumber. The posts are 5×5 and cemented in, the swing is also ERC and made with wide slats to clear leaves. It was made for my neighbor.

This is an eastern red cedar japanese style pagoda with a swing incorporated. The timbers are 5×5's and included a lot of pegged mortise and tenon joinery with a few exceptions where it was dado'd and lag bolted. The roof is board and batten style and works good. It was built pretty much in...

This is a Douglas Fir porch swing made for the wife as requested. I made it from four 2×10x8's and plugged the screw holes with an Oak dowel. The most expensive part of the whole swing was the hardware…

This is a simple parallelogram stair gate I saw on Woodgears.ca designed by Matthias Wandel. He makes some pretty amazing stuff. Our front entryway doesn't have very much space so this gate works perfectly. It folds up the stairs instead of opening into the front door. I still have to finish...

Hey All! This was my first woodworking project since high school wood shop. I completed it by borrowing my Dad's beat-up miter saw and circular saw. its not the prettiest shelf but it sparked a flame in me that had been gone for nearly 20 years. This is attached to one of those under the...
