Building plans for a table saw stand

Building plans for a table saw stand, table saw station, table saw bench, table saw workbench

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 Floor Mirror

I can look back on this DIY and laugh… now. At the time it was a total shit show and entirely my fault. I thought I could “build off the cuff” without plans or even a vision of what I wanted. Don’t do that folks. At least have a vision. The problem I was trying […]

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 […]
