  1. Deck Stairs

    Had a back deck that has a walk out basement underneath but the deck had no stairs. The solution was to build a set of stairs off of the back deck to prevent tracking through the house.
  2. Wind-Works

    Hopefully the judges will go ape over these gorilla gadgets..a couple whirly toys for the outside. First up is a new creation of mine, at least I've never seen one…A new style of weathervane. There is a little of the summer contest left on this one too as it is all recycled. Some leftover...
  3. Cypress Picnic Table

    This is a christmas gift I just completed for my parents. The top and seats are 1.5" thick Cypress and the frame is treated pine. I used treated pine instead of Cypress on the frame for cost, weight, and strength. Cypress is quite light and I was afraid this may blow away on a windy day. The...
  4. Kids Tree House

    Kids Tree House was constructed in 2008 for my grandkids. Unit is made of treat pine material and resembles a deer stand but I assure you there is no real shooting form this fort. A fixed ladder was added and doors as shown.
  5. New Front porch

    Last picture shows what the old porch was like. Too hard for old knees to use, no handrail, either…even the Post Office complained about it. I covered over the old porch, added a new deck, railings, and new, easy to walk up stairs, with a handrail…took about 6 days, working around rain...
  6. Crowned Gate and Fence

    Built a new fence and gate for our back patio. Treated pine, all full 1" thick. Made a sled to feed the fence caps through the planer at an angle to put a crown on them for water runnoff. Gate is mortise and tenon pickets into top and bottom rails so it's very rigid against sagging. Fence is...
  7. Heavy Duty Picnic Table

    Hello fellow Lumberjocks - I want to share my first picnic table project. I completed this picnic table in a few days - working a few hours each day. I found a local lumber yard that sells premium treated lumber; the table top, legs, seats are made from 2×8, the rest is either 2×6 or 2×4 -...
  8. Wood & Lumber
    A buddy of mine told me not to use treated pine for cutting boards, and things you use in food. I wasn't sure about this, so I did some reasearch and found that it's apparently some sort of pesticide. Is it safe for us humans to use/eat off of? I plan on using cutting boards rather than having...
  9. Blogs
    the plan.. been working all week on this thing, plans were drawn up last week…..Single Brain Cell Sketch Up.. The "existing" porch was tiny, and dangerous… No railings, no hand rails, one step in 18"? decided to "add on" a bit, and add new railings, new steps with handrails suited to...
