Holiday Sneak Peek
Lots of new builds in the works right now. I can’t post pictures of everything I’m making quite yet, but I’m excited to get some more shop time after Christmas. My tools have been sadly underused lately. Here’s a sneak peek of a few pieces of a build I’m currently...
Leaning Shelf
This is the finest thing I’ve ever built. The idea was inspired by a shelf of similar design that my great grandfather handmade and handed down to my grandfather. I grew up seeing it in his office, and I thought I’d make one of my own. It currently holds all the...
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...
Scrap Cutting Boards
My brother and I chopped up a few boards to be sold at a craft fair this fall, and I thought I’d share a few pictures of the prep work I did on them. In the picture below, you can see some pine boards on top that were glued up...
How To Build Easy Flower Box Planters
This project was a blast! I think they turned out well. I built these for my mother as a mother’s day gift one summer during college, and she was thrilled to have a nice place to plant and care for flowers on her front porch, where she didn’t have to...
How To Reclaim Unused Unfinished Attic Space For Storage
My parents have some unfinished space next to a water heater in basically a closet at the top of their house. I wanted to provide them with some additional storage space for a few boxes that needed to get out of the way, so I came up with a solution...
How To Build A Coat Rack From A Single 2×4
This coat rack is made out of a single reused 2×4 and a wooden dowel. This sits in my entryway, and I use it daily! So glad I made it – it’s one of my favorite builds. I’ll admit, it’s really ugly and I could have spent more time and...
How To Build An Upcycled Jar Shelf
This was a fun project! Pretty simple and easy – the idea was my father’s, and I used some jars he saved for this project. I’ve thought about making some improvements, but it seems to be holding up just fine, even with all the junk we’ve filled the jars with...
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...
