Farmhouse table

Recently finished up a farmhouse table for my girlfriends new apartment. It's made from Douglas fir and pine wood purchased at the local home depot. Wanted to go with a nice hardwood tabletop but that would have doubled the total price.

We used the plans from the following website. But substituted 4 2x10 boards for the tabletop instead of the concrete tabletop. Also shortened the table and bench to only be 5 ft long.

I believe the stain used was a "Kona" color:

Shed walls and siding

With the help of 2 friends, one Sunday is all it took to make all 4 walls, put them up straight, and screw on the plywood siding.  We started the roof but probably wont have that up for a week or two.
Last picture is all the metal roof material loaded up from home depot

Double Adirondack Chair

Latest wood project is a double Adirondack chair. Just adding onto the pile of outdoor furniture. This time it's made using pallet wood and cull lumber  (70% wood pile from home depot). So the screws cost more than the wood itself... Probably a lil over 25$ to make this.

Making slabs

Christmas day was spent slabbing up some freshly cut ash trees. Bought this jig off amazon for 25$, amazon link below, it worked pretty well for the 4 3 inch slabs that were made. The quad in the pic was used to drag big pieces out of the woods.

 The slabs are now sitting in my garage for the next 6+ months to dry out.

Shelf build

Just moved into a bigger house. Not enough furniture but access to free wood pallets. 30+ hrs later this shelf appeared.

Bottlecap Table

Made a mancave end table from scratch. One spare plank of wood(from an old table) and some 2x2  wood from homedepot for the legs, then about $60 of resin and many hours of beer drinking :)
