So this countertop is actually a set of 3 pieces that are kind of like table leaves. I made these for my friends who live in a fairly small house that lacks countertop space and this is meant to help with that. These will sit on top of a half wall that runs around the perimeter of a set of …
Patchwork Plywood and Ebonized Oak Dresser
This dresser is made entirely from plywood, plus some reclaimed oak for the frame. Plywood is always a pain in the butt to haul though, so I decided to make the entire dresser with only 2’x4′ handy panels that I could get shipped to my house (Purebond plywood). This also gave me the ability to play with some really cool …
French Cleat Shop Storage Wall & Loft
In my shop there is a small area I share with other tenants with some food storage and a fridge and microwave, so I decided to close it off to keep the dust out and add a bunch of wall and loft storage space. The frame is all 2×4 construction, fastened together with 3″ deck screws (because I had an …
Building a Reclaimed Wood Door from Scratch (Mission Style)
This is a mission style 2 panel door made from a really old piece of reclaimed pine and a piece of glass salvaged from a door I found in the trash. The piece of pine belonged to my great-grandfather who’s daughter (my grandmother) still lives in the house that he built back in the 50s. Joints between the pieces of …
Upcycled LVL Vase & Metal Flowers
Happy Valentine’s Day. Think before you buy, your money casts a vote. Reclaim. Upcycle. Vase made from a scrap piece of LVL structural beam, flowers made from salvaged metal from a broken printer — both of which were saved from the dumpster & the landfill.
Custom Dining Room Built-In
Built-in renovating an old house to fit a larger fridge on the back side. Made from tongue and groove fir paneling with a fir countertop. Partnered with reused and new cabinets at the base.
Garage Steps Build
New set of garage steps to replace a single box step that had seen better days. New stairs include composite decking to match to outside decks, smaller riser height to make them easier to climb, and a hand rail.
Simple Kitchen Island Build
This is a fairly simple kitchen island build made with a 2×4 frame and finished with oak plywood and trim. The owners budget was tight after buying the granite countertop for this and the rest of the kitchen, so this was a very bare-bones type of build without any extra storage or anything like that inside the cabinet. This means …
Custom Wall Mounted Coat Hanger
This custom coat hanger was made to wrap around two walls at the entry door of the house. It holds 4 double coat hooks and the thick trim piece at the top offers storage for small objects. The coved trim piece is a cool thing to make and it offers a really nice look a wide range of applications.
Kitchen-Living Room Passthrough Window
This house felt much too divided between spaces, so during the remodel I added a pass through window between the kitchen and living room. Work for this included a structural header as well as trim at the opening and a granite sill which matches the kitchen counters. I think this fairly simple addition added a lot to the space.
Country Club Fence Repair
A microburst blew through the country club and tipped the fence right over along with a bunch of large trees on the golf course. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen again!
Deck Renovation
This deck had some wood decking that was in really tough shape and the railing were not to code (they were too short and the lattice is not strong enough). Decking was removed and replaced and railings were extended above 36″ and balusters were added.
