Shop Update!

I haven’t posted any pictures of the shop in a while so I thought I would! I’ve now officially been in this garage for a whole year, and wow things have changed a lot. I have most of what I need to make the things I enjoy making the most,...

Modular Power Tool Carts

I needed some more bench space, and I wanted some moving carts that would serve as a work surface and some extra storage too whenever I need it. I tried to come up with a very simple modular design that would also allow me to link these together and add...

New Woodshop!

So I’ve lived in Texas for two years now, and I’m finally ready to get my own work space to pick back up my woodworking habit ;P I’ve rented a little 20×10 garage with one power outlet and a dim light, and I hope to turn this into a pretty...

Heavy Shelving (V3)

These are the latest version of the heavy duty shelving, built for the new 10×20 Louisiana Destination Imagination storage shed. The design is exceedingly simple so hopefully the pictures speak for themselves! I decided to split up the original 2x8ft design and instead make two identical 2×4 foot shelves instead...

Giant Ugly Garage Shelf (v2.1)

This is obviously an adaptation of the other heavy duty wooden shelving I’ve built – this one was ridiculously tall, but allowed for the entire back wall of a third garage to be used as storage space.

How To Build A Quick & Cheap Kayak Rack

We took some scrap pieces of wood and threw this rack together for my friend’s kayaks. It’s a little warped, but it works! We used an assortment of scrap 2×4, 1×2, 2×6, and 1/4 inch plywood pieces. First we measured the dimensions of each kayak to make sure we could...

How To Build Garage Shelving (v2)

I built these shelves for my sister’s family, and organized their garage to provide better access to its contents. These are about 6ft tall, 2ft deep and 8ft wide. I made the basic platforms quickly out of 2x4s and 1/4 inch plywood, and then tacked them up with 2×4 legs....

How To Build Garage Shelving (v1)

This particular shelf was built for the Louisiana Destination Imagination storage unit that I maintain. We had a 10×10 unit (since upgraded to a 10×20) that was full to the ceiling, and we desperately needed a storage solution. This solution definitely got boxes up off the ground and out of...

How To Build A Beer Pong Table Out Of A Door & Frame

My friends and I decided to build a beer pong table for our apartment (typical college guy project) so I slapped some 2×4’s and 1×6’s together around a light wooden door and we painted it up, put LEDs on the bottom (once again, typical college guy idea). My friend painted...
