Bookcase

He said: I’m looking at the picture of this book case wondering how the heck the bottom shelf is empty. Well, let me tell you, it isn’t now. (Also, that ugly green carpet, barf!) We were doing some rearranging and finding it hard to find a good place in our room for...

Wheelchair Ramp

He said: Accessibility is an issue. Over the last couple years that phrase has become an experience. While it's not always convenient, we can usually choose to avoid less/non accessible public places. However, it's not so easy to just choose a different home when it's...

Bed

He said: WIth almost everything I make, I get the satisfaction and fulfillment in the process (learning, creating, accomplishing). There’s very few things I really feel I need to keep. I had built a low to the ground platform style bed but it was seriously not...

Coffee Table

He said: The wood spool table was okay but we wanted something different. So many ideas, so little time turned in to so many ideas equals paralysis by analysis. I had previously tore apart a dozen or more pallets for various projects and so I had quite a bit to choose...

Sofa/Lap Table

He said: I have an engineering degree -- I’m trained to solve problems. The problem was presented and I designed a solution. We attempted to make it height adjustable by using a pipe clamp but honestly it doesn’t work well (or probably at all lol). The swivel action...

Blue-stain Pine Desk

He said: Shout out to Dakota Tree Surgeon for these 1” Black Hills blue-stain pine slabs! It was a good deal and I bought it not knowing what would come of it. Well, a very unique desk is what came of (most of) it. When a desk was needed the ideas started flowing....

Buffet Table

Buffet Table

She said: So one day I said to my husband, “I need something to put my art supplies on in the dining room which I’ve now taken over for painting.” My crafty area in the basement is dungeony-dark and not conducive to painting and things that require light. Two hours...

Spool Side Table

Spool Side Table

He said: This spool presented a little differently. One section of the end was all smashed up so it took a little while to come up with the simple solution: just cut that part off! It actually works very nicely as it can just sit up against a wall but still provide a...

Wooden Spool Side Table

He said: This was a nice spool. So, why not cut it in half and double the niceness!? The cut was actually a bit of a challenge. First, I had to find a line that avoided the nails as much as possible -- the saw doesn’t like them. Then, I had to make sure the cut was...

Wooden Spool Coffee Table

Wooden Spool Coffee Table

He said: Got several wire spools from <REDACTED>. Thanks, man! They were sitting in the driveway during our summer garage sale and I had to keep shooing people away. This particular one seemed perfect for a coffee table type function. The base is just too huge...
