Well, it's going somewhere but it's not going anywhere…. My SIL asked me to make a bench for my BIL; stating that he has always wanted one for their mountain cabin in New Mexico. She knew I dabbled in woodworking and trusted me enough to come up with something after showing me a couple ideas...

This was a 6×6 retaining wall for Jim and Barbra Joyce at there home in North Carolina… the wall was added to stop soil loss on the hill side (rain water, dogs, and a giant lawnmower, was begining to erode the soil beside the footing so to stop any further loss I constructed the wall and...

I was given some outdoor chairs but just didn't have the cash to go and find a table to go with. So, as any other woodworker out there would do…you go through your scrap lumber. I had just enough treated 2×4's to come up with this simple table and played a bit with the construction to add some...

This is a check in the box for the honey do list. My wife had been shopping around at the BORG and "threatening me" that she will buy one of this cheap aluminum tables if I don't build her one. Roughly $500 for a table at the BORG. She pointed at the price and said you have to do it for less...

I built this fence at mine and my wife's, first, "smaller" home. The entire yard was sorta odd with just 1/8 of an acre of space, a house, a 600sq ft. shop and a driveway large enough for six vehicles to park. So, to gain a little privacy from the neighbors (without alienating them), add some...

Woodworkers Guild of America powered by Wood Magazine posted this project by George Vondriska. I've upscaled my planter to be 6' long and 2' wide (it holds 4 cubic feet of soil easily). I'm actually making 2 but after about 8 hours in the shop on Sunday I only finished one (the other is 60%...

I'm very happy with my new fence, which is all made out if treated wood. Only the left 36" wide door is operational, the remaining being decorative only (ex. plastic hinges). It adds style to my field stone facade house as well as privacy. A woodworker has no limit, right? All 8 vertical 4X4...

Base was made of 3 side ''live edge'' walnut board, dimensions 30×15x2cm. I turned dovels of firwood, diameter 30mm which were glued and screwed into 2/3 thickness deep hole. Finish wood oil. Serves very well in one barn style made tavern (toilet).

I just completed a huge project that pushed my woodworking skills to a whole new level. And it all started with a friend saying, "Hey you do woodworking, can you make me some replica railings for an old house I bought?" In the video series for my YouTube channel, it looks like I did this just...

Sorry about the bad pictures - my camera doesn't take great photos in bad light. Hopefully you can see what I was doing…. We had a need for several park-style benches to be used around the farm, for customers to sit on when watching their kids ride horses, etc. We didn't want to buy a lot of...

My boys needed a sandbox and my parents volunteered to buy the supplies as their birthday present if I'd build it. So here it is. I am trying to keep a Greene & Greene style throughout my backyard so,even on something as simple as a sandbox, I'm trying to incorporate their signature rounded...

With the recent weather of snow, thaw, freeze, rain; I had some water come into my shop door (tuck under garage). Made this dunnage from treated lumber to fit the space. Used deck screws that resist corrosion. I made the arches with a hole saw on drill press.

I did this pen about a month ago, and just thought I would share with some folks on here… I don't have the best camera or a photo tent…but I do have some GREAT Birdseye maple I got from Barlow in the background….can't give that guy enough props on the great stuff he sent me. Anyhow, it is...

This is a small Geesebo that I made for my Mother-In-Law. She has three concrete Geese that were on her porch. But people couldn't see them, so I built her a Geesebo for them. It comes apart into 3 pieces. The base splits the body in 2, and the top comes off. It's all made with...

Now that the pain and stress of my first real woodworking commission has faded into a dull memory, I figured it was time to post this as a bonefide project. For the backstory, Refer to the blog series for the cliff notes: This was roughly designed, by the customer, (he also gave me a bill of...

For my friends Eagle Scout ceremony, we decided to make him a trophy. I went to my shop, and created the ugliest abomination I could have. The base is a treated 2×4 that I used to test all of my tools on, and the accents are washers, screws, and nuts that were hot-glued on. The arm (for lack of...

Not the usual square or rectangle this time. This is a little higher off the ground than usual for pool access. The homeowner passed on the lattice or underpin for now. Solid as a house foundation and as usual all screwed with Deckmate type screws. We started about 11:00 am Tuesday and...

The first pic is of a well house I made to cover the pump at my brother's place at Houghton Lake. It has about 6 inches of insulation surrounding the pump, plus a small heater that runs all winter. The bottom is made of 3/4 treated plywood and 2×4 treated frame. The top is all cedar except for...

my deck might be something more suited to home furbers, but i don't have an account there. the only important part is the decking, used 5/4 treated. i started with the center diamond. i thought i could do a whole quadrant at once, but alas i was wrong. so for four evenings till dark i was...

Made this on a Saturday afternoon for my son. It is made from treated 1×6's that were left over from a fence project.
