Championship Beer Pong (with or without beer)
We went over to our dear friends’ house the other night and I was (very belatedly) introduced to beer pong. Why have I never played this before? I went to College (and University) and I don’t remember missing any parties when I was there – but the wonder that is beer pong was never introduced […]
Building plans for a table saw stand
The other day I told you how my old Craftsman table saw died mid-project and I had to fork out the big buckers for a new table saw. Well… as it turns out, table saws (with a table attached) are almost twice the price of “job site” table saws (those with no table attached). We’re […]
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.

Central Vac Hose Reel
I wasn’t going to post this article, it’s just TOO simple. The fact that I haven’t thought of it before today certainly ranks as one of my bigger “Duh!” moments, so there’s also the embarrassment factor. BUT, since I hadn’t thought of it in 13 years of living in our home, perhaps there are others […]
Shaped cutting board
One of my favourite things to do is come up with ideas to use up scrap wood. I think it’s fair to say I spend more time creating with scrap wood than I do building the large pieces that generate all the scrap wood. Today’s shaped cutting board is another scrap wood project that […]
Rustic Industrial Side Table
Today’s post is a two-bee; on 100Things2Do I’m sharing building plans for three versions of a rustic industrial side table and on The House of Wood, I’m sharing the building plans for the rustic industrial coffee table to match! The inspiration for both of these tables came from Restoration Hardware. That’s $1,195 folks. The coffee […]
