Here are a Few Projects That I Did in 2017
2017 was a busy year. I learned a lot when it came to DIY and woodworking. I have only been making stuff in my garage for little over a year now and the garage went from a place for our cars to sleep, to a nearly full blown woodshop. I thought I would keep myself motivated on making new things by sharing some of the projects that I did in 2017...

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.

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...

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...
