After four weekends and nearly four weeknights of work after work, I moved onto the next part of the project for the miter saw station... Adding stuff into the drawers! So far, I have 23 of the 29 drawers assembled and 19 of those have drawer fronts attached...
Another productive weekend in the garage makes me feel accomplished! I have finished the carcasses that will house my miter saw and plenty of drawers for storing all of my tools. Four lower carcasses support the entire build that are mounted to the back wall of my garage...
I wanted to try my hand at a cutting board last weekend, so I figured that I would give it a go and see how it comes out. The species of are maple, walnut and cherry.
The first thing I did is square up the boards on the jointer and table saw...
My journey has come to an end on my DIY dining room table last Friday night. The table took me 8 months and 2 days to complete from picking up the wood, to bringing it into the house.
June 23rd was the day I decided to go up to Red Feather Lakes and pick up enough Beetle Kill Pine to build my table that could seat enough people for a nice dinner...

I have been accumulating tools here and there over the course of the last year. One thing that I completely decided to disregard was how to clean up all of that mess those tools make...
Over the next few days to a week, I should be finishing up my Beetle Kill 10 seat dining room table. Both my wife and myself will be happy when it is done. I have learned so much while working on the table, however, it has taken me a lot longer than I initially thought it would...
Since moving into our home a year ago, I find that I spend most of my time creating things out of wood in my garage, working on cars and hanging out with our neighbors. When we moved in, there were three light sockets in the ceiling spanning across the garage and two 4 foot fluorescent light fixtures on the other side...
I have been battling what I wanted to do with some of the knots in the tabletop over the past few weeks. Some have cracks and other have voids that look unsightly. Filling them with epoxy was one option, but I wanted something unique and eye catching...
Habajeeba came and went on Friday. It was a great show, but after the show I was looking forward to the weekend the most to get to work on my table. The table is nearing the completion of the build and I can feel it coming together more than ever before...
