I’m not sure a day goes by that I don’t listen to at least a few hours’ worth of music. Legit. I wouldn’t survive the day without some tunes to get me through. Now pair that with my love of woodworking, and you can understand why I’ve been eyeing one of these cool little speakers so I could make a cool little DIY wooden Bluetooth speaker box for it and get my jam on. But I hesitated…because I wasn’t sure…
DIY Mobile Miter Saw Stand
February 26, 2018
I recently bought a new miter saw. Normally, this should help improve shop efficiency, right? But, this one actually caused me to add a whole lot of otherwise unnecessary projects to my list…like an entire shop redo project. And part of that long term project is this short term one…a DIY Mobile Miter Saw Stand 🙂 I’ve had my old Hitachi 10″ compound miter saw for over three years. It’s been great, but I’ve wanted an upgrade for a while. …
How to Build a TV {or Aquarium!} Stand
February 19, 2018
It’s a TV cabinet, it’s an aquarium stand, it’s a console cabinet. It’s…whatever you want to use it for?? It’s actually–in real life–a nightstand that I made for my brother in law who wants to put an 60 gallon aquarium on it. But, I thought it looked best in my pictures staged as a DIY TV stand….so let’s just go with that. But hey, nightstand, console cabinet, desk…it all looks good 😉 I’m not going to tell you how you…
DIY Simple Side Table
February 12, 2018
I know I keep saying this, but I’m still thinking/feeling it. This year, I just haven’t been off to a great, productive start. Lots of good things have happened, and I’ve got lots of to dos on my list that I’m excited about, but I’m just kind of stuck in a slump. Sometimes when you get stuck building big, time consuming projects, it’s nice to take a break and make something quick and easy…like this simple little side table. You…
How to Build a Seamless DIY Floating Shelf
February 5, 2018
DIY floating shelf tutorials are nothing new. By now, you’ve probably read a million of them….mostly the same thing, maybe just with varying board sizes. I know by writing this post, I’m not reinventing the wheel or anything. . But, I am hoping to take it up a notch and show you a way of making them that looks a little more professional and gets you thinking a little more outside the box. (Since we are making boxes here, let’s…
DIY Simple Mobile Shop Cart Planer Stand
January 29, 2018
So, here we are. The end of January 2018. And….I’m just now setting any “goals” for the year. I’m really setting the bar high this year, huh? Don’t worry, this DIY mobile tool cart build ties into this somehow. I’ll get to it. So, goals. I have two main goals (with a few others I don’t want to say out loud for fear I won’t make them and all of you will know that I failed…HA). One goal is to…
How to Build a DIY Modern Sliding Door
January 20, 2018
Much like barn wood walls (remember this one??), sliding doors are so in right now. They’ve been in for a while, actually. I made my first set of DIY sliding doors over two years ago! But I’m not sure they’re going to go away any time soon. . Not only do sliding doors LOOK nice, but they also save space and could save you a lot of money if you need to replace an odd shaped door that they don’t…
