Patio Coffee Table
I’m so excited about today’s patio coffee table build! I’ve been dying to try making a round table, but all of the videos I’d seen online showed people cutting them with plunge routers. If you saw my #scrapwoodchallenge can crusher the other day, then you know that my expertise with a router is non-existent. BUT […]

DIY Garden Gate – ever wonder what goes into a blog post?
I’m showcasing building plans for a gorgeous tongue-and-groove DIY garden gate over on JenWoodhouse.com, but I wanted to share with you the behind-the-scenes work that really goes into a blog post like this.
