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 […]
Yoga Mat Storage / Treadmill table
I’m in the midst of a home gym makeover for my parents and in doing so I noticed that they were missing an essential piece of “equipment”… something for yoga mat storage and/or a treadmill table. No, they aren’t yogi’s, but they do “enjoy” walking on the treadmill or riding the stationary bike, so even […]

DIY Above ground pool ladder / stairs

DIY Nesting Tables – My ReStore Build
Nesting tables seem to be a rarity at thrift stores and garage sales? I don’t know that I’ve ever seen an old set available for refinishing? My search began because I found this picture on BirchLane.com I love the detailing in the ironwork, but at $230 US (down from $420), they are a tad out […]
