Workshop Renovation Project – Workshop 2.0 – More Workspace, More Storage, a Better Experience
Jan 27th, 2012 by admin

An update to my workshop renovation project. I have now added a lot more usable workspace, as well as ample storage for all of my lumber, scraps and extra parts. The main item left to complete is to install 1 or 2 peg boards for tool organization and ease of use, and a whiteboard, which I will use to illustrate my plans on future Youtube videos.

Jan 25th, 2012 by admin

When it comes to building outdoor storage sheds, there always seems to be two options facing the do it yourselfer. You can build one or you can buy one. Fortunately, thanks to the internet there now seems to be a third option. You can build amazing outdoor sheds by downloading free storage shed building plans. Yes, that’s right. Free building plans. These are complete plans for building an entire outdoor shed or garden building. This ability to immediately access building plans can change the way you construct outdoor structures by providing step by step instructions and woodworking guidelines just in time for your next weekend project.

Having the right set of plans will go a long way to helping you successfully build your next outdoor project.   I don’t know about you, but the one thing I have difficulty with is drawing plans or blueprints myself.

Woodworking Projects For Beginners
Jan 11th, 2012 by admin

Easy woodworking projects are simple to do if you have detailed woodworking plans. In this article I’d like to give some ideas for those just getting into woodworking and give some suggestions for simple woodworking projects to get you started. If you start small it won’t be long until you are ready to begin looking for woodworking plans for professionals!

So what are some simple woodworking plans you can start with? Some great beginner projects for wood working include simple bookshelves, magazine holders or a birdhouse. The good thing about these beginner projects is that they are simple and practical at the same time as almost everyone would have a use for these items. The one thing you need to make sure you do first is to have project plans before you buy that first piece of wood. Nothing is worse than spending your time pulling nails, tearing apart your project and running to the hardware store for more lumber and supplies. Never start a wood working project without first having detailed project plans.

A big mistake many make is starting off with a big project. I recommend that you don’t do that. Start small and simple. Yes, you might dream of building the perfect shed or the perfect dining room set but don’t plan on starting off in wood working with those projects.

So once you have decided on what you want to build and have your woodworking projects planned it’s time to get the supplies you need. Keep in mind if you are just starting out you don’t need to buy expensive power tools. You can start out with hand tools and build almost any project. Of course, once you get experienced and decide to move on to more advanced woodworking projects you may want to invest in some power tools just to make the job a bit easier and less time consuming. But with the tools you probably already having laying around the house such as a hammer, paint brush, hand saw and measuring tape you can complete many wood working projects.

Now, if you are like me you might feel overwhelmed at the mention of woodworking projects. However, in this electronic age you can find plans on the internet. Now I will tell you that it is not always easy to find the plan you need on the internet. I’ve also come across several sites that promise free woodworking plans and then when you go to view the plan they ask you to pay for it. I’ve also seen plans that don’t provide good details, more than one view of the project or a complete list of materials. So be sure to take your time and find the right woodworking project plans before starting.

Planning Your Backyard Paradise Tips
Apr 22nd, 2011 by admin

You don’t need to spend a fortune on a backyard project. You don’t even need to be a master carpenter. In fact, with a small investment, you can be a do-it-yourselfer and dramatically impact the appearance of your back yard – and add to its long-term value.
To finish a project as large as adding a new backyard deck or as modest as window box planters, Lou “Mr. Fix-It” Manfredini, a professional builder and author of the new book “House Smarts,” suggests concentrating on just one project at a time.
“Crossing just one item off your to-do list gives you an attractive, equity-increasing accompaniment to your home,” Manfredini said.
No matter whether the budget is less than $1,000 or more than $10,000, wood projects add enjoyment and value to any backyard paradise.
“Wood is a building material that always looks more expensive than it costs,” Manfredini said. “It is also very easy to work with and can adapt to any project plans.”
Backyard improvements using wood also are appealing to potential homebuyers. According to the National Association of Realtors, buyers of existing homes always look for special touches in the back yard.
Start with a project that is both uncomplicated and inexpensive
but will add immediate curbside appeal. Manfredini recommends building a window box planter. You can use it to grow everything from tulips to your own personal herb garden, and it can add instant warmth to your back yard. They are so easy to build that even a beginner should be able to construct a box in one to two hours, and for around $15.
“Window box planters are a great starter project because it let’s you gain confidence in your wood working skills,” Manfredini said. “You can also add decorations to the window box to make it more elegant. Additionally, the only tools you really need are a circular saw, drill, tape measure and screws.”
Once you build confidence in your woodworking skills, it’s time to move on to more advanced projects. There are a variety of projects that could be completed for under $200.
One project that Manfredini recommends is a wood garden bench. There are many different wood options that you can consider to match the décor of your back yard, including cedar, redwood or even some of the newer treated woods.
Or, by investing a little more time and money, you can frame out projects that add space and storage to your back yard. An outdoor storage shed will cost around $2,000 in lumber and other supplies. It makes an efficient area to store the lawnmower, garden tools and seasonal items.
If you own a deck, also consider a deck box.
“A deck box is a great storage addition to any backyard deck,” Manfredini said.”From sporting equipment to pool toys to barbeque tools, a deck box is both functional and beautiful.”
