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
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
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
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

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…
Custom Farmhouse Sign for Mother’s Day
This year for Mother’s Day I decided to make my mom a DIY custom farmhouse sign from a piece of 1/4 inch plywood with a frame made from poplar and stained with some dark Danish Oil. Lots of farmhouse signs made online simply nail the frame directly to the plywood. Doing it this way causes…
DIY Cedar Garden Bed With Plans
I really enjoy working in the garden and having fresh vegetables to eat during the summer, fall, and even into winter. After running out of room in my first small garden bed where we typically grow tomotoes, onion, carrots and sweet potatoes, I decided to add a new bed to expand our vegetable capacity. This…
