Getting Organized With A DIY Backpack Rack

Posted on May 13, 2022

With four kids in the house, we end up with a lot of backpacks sitting on the floor after they all get home from school. My kids are messy just like all the other kids in the world, but what I have discovered is that when each kid has a specific spot for an item,…

Loft Bed – Part 7 – Finished!

Posted on January 30, 2022

It’s finally done! I’m embarrassed to admit it, but building this loft bed took me over 3 years to do and even longer to get all the videos edited and posted. This project was started when child #4 (Cora) was on the way and the boys needed to start sharing a room. It was finished…

Loft Bed – Part 6 – Ladder

Posted on January 12, 2022

It keeps going and going and going. The Loft Bed Project is still in progress and in part 6 of this series I’m building the ladder. I’m in the home stretch now and there are just a few final touches to get in place before sanding and staining can take place. I really enjoyed this…

DIY Garden Trellis

Posted on July 27, 2021

The season of fresh fruit and veggies is upon us. While I was planning out the garden this year, my wife requested cucumbers. I had already been thinking about planting them as well so I could try making pickles (ironically, I don’t even like pickles), but I was concerned about the vines taking over the…

DIY Boot Tray

Posted on January 18, 2021

With 4 kids in the house we have a lot of snow boots, so for this snow season I decided to build a boot tray. There was absolutely no hesitation in my wife’s response when I asked if she wanted me to build one. This DIY cedar boot tray is 55 inches long and 1…

Just Another Maple And Walnut Cutting Board

Posted on January 4, 2021

Lately, I have been making a few cutting boards in my spare time. If you have the right tools they can be fairly easy to batch out and go from raw wood to a beautiful finished piece in just a few days. (Unlike loft beds which seem to take years.) I love running them through…

Loft Bed – Part 5 – Guardrails

Posted on November 7, 2020January 12, 2022

Part 5 of the Loft Bed Project is finally complete. In this part of the project I built the guardrails for the side of the bed. Not only did adding these parts to the bed bring a lot of stability, but they are also the last major pieces that needed to be built and installed…

Loft Bed – Part 4 – Side Rails & Assembly

Posted on September 14, 2020

With continued work on the Loft Bed Project, part 4 is now available on YouTube. In this part of the series I build the upper and lower side rails for the bed and assembly all the parts that I have made so far. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the whole series…

Loft Bed – Part 3 – Headboard

Posted on August 18, 2020August 24, 2020

I have continued to work on the Loft Bed Project and now part 3 is available on YouTube. In this part of the series I built the headboard for the bed and attached it to two of the posts that I built in part 1. I really enjoyed working on this part of the project…

Loft Bed – Part 2 – Footer

Posted on August 17, 2020August 24, 2020

I have been working for quit some time on the Loft Bed Project and finally was able to release part 2 in the video series. In part one of the series I built the four posts that will be needed for the bed and you can check out that part of the build here. Now…
