The Jackman Works adirondack chair is back! This time something a little different with a walk through video. I love how many people are using my plans to build these for themselves and I get a lot of questions so I figured this build needed a more detailed video. This was my last batch in the shop in Rhode Island, …
Space Saving Shop-Vac Dust Collector Cart
I recently moved into a new shop and lost some square footage over my old one, so floor space is at a premium. At the old shop, my dust separator was quite content sitting next to my shop-vac with the hose reel mounted to the wall, but they require a little pampering to get them to fit the new space. …
100 Pallet Wood Shot Glasses
These shot glasses are 100% reclaimed and 100% pallet wood! They were made for Carolina Shoe to use as giveaway items (keep an eye on their socials to see how you can get one). It’s so awesome to know that my work will be traveling out to so many peoples hands. It took roughly 9 pallets to get the lumber …
Collapsible Folding Adirondack Table
I had a customer who wanted some tables to go with his Adirondack chairs and this was the result! This is kind of a classic design, but I modified the table to pair up with my popular Adirondack chair design with classy overhangs and nice rounded corners. These are built the same as my chairs – with clear grain western …
DIY Yard/Garden/Wedding Pergola
This pergola was built entirely from 2×4, 2×6, and 4×4 framing lumber. It also only takes a few tools to build, which makes it a very approachable project. I built it for a wedding but I could totally see this living in someone’s back yard, just scrap the bottom runners and embed the posts in concrete or fasten them to …
Reclaimed Oak (Pallet Wood) Flag Box
This flag box was built from reclaimed oak that came from a few super thick (1″) pallet slats I had been saving away for a rainy day. The backer panel is made from hardboard and the front is a 1/8″ thick acrylic sheet. I built this as a gift for my grandmother for my grandfather’s World War II veterans flag. …

Packing Up Shop…
It’s done!… Well our stuff is here at least. Lots of work left to do to get the shop functional again but if feels good to have everything here safe and sound at our apartment. The new shop is a 14’x25′ garage attached to our townhouse apartment. It’s going to be super tricky to run a production shop out of …
Iridescent Epoxy Beer Tap Handles
This build is made possible by Waterlox finishes, find out more HERE This set of 6 custom beer tap handles was an incredible challenge in sequencing and figuring out what steps could or couldn’t happen before the next one so I could end up with a certain final look. These tap handles were made for an awesome 6 tap kegerator …
Rhode Island Shop Tour
Shot this just in time before the move! I’m going to miss this beautiful and inspiring space but I’m not going to miss those random farts. The neighbors on the other hand… 😉 \\\\\ MUSIC \\\\\ ■ Jack Berry – The Bull https://soundcloud.com/jackberrymeanmachine/the-bull-by-jack-berry ■ Cullah – Where You Do Belong https://soundcloud.com/cullah/where-you-do-belong
Vertical Garden Headboard Piece with Mirrors
The final piece for the Rhode Island Home Show display! This is a living wall/vertical garden/green wall piece that I made oversized to fit over the head of the bed. Made 100% from reclaimed materials like I love to do. It was tricky to figure out a way to mount the round mirrors floating in the center but I ended …
I’m Moving!
Yep, it’s happening again! We’re leaving Rhode Island and heading down to DC. I wanted to let you guys know for a couple of reasons: There might be a lapse in my videos, although I have been working my butt off in the last couple of months to keep that gap between shops from being too big. I have a …
