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 […]

One-Man Ping-Pong

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 […]
