Friday OT - Making It
- Thread starter Angie
- Start date
Built this garden this spring.
And these shelves in the garage last weekend.
(Not sure why the pics are showing up sideways)
Those are awesome! Very handy!
I wish I knew how to do woodworking, etc. And there has been more than once that I've wished I had a table saw, but I managed to need to get stitches a few weeks ago when trying to make cheese knives, so it's probably for the best I don't.
Took an old farm table and turned it into our new ottoman/coffee table
No pics, but I made a desk for my wife since she ended up working from home during the outbreak. It's nothing fancy, but it's tailored to the chair she decided to use.
I made a fountain in our backyard that was nice and worked for a couple years. Then it became a pain in the ass and a mosquito breeding ground, so I ripped it out and put in a cement patio and fire pit.
Other than that, I usually just make a mess

I love woodworking and have made several things, sorry no pictures available at this time. I've made several cutting boards, a couple dining room tables for family members, a Lego table for my son, a "river table" serving tray, a coat rack/shelf for the wall by the front door, and I'm currently working on a couple live edge walnut wine racks.
Some things I've made have saved me money rather than buying them and some things have made me money from selling them.

Not sure why the deck picture is sideways. Been working on my sister in laws deck and garden. Built the garden and path around it and built the deck and staircase (still working on the staircase). Final step is to replace the top deck. Been really fun to get outside and have deck beers lol.
I'm not super handy, but can get things made when I need to. I bought a Big Green Egg smoker/grill a few years back and built a table for that.
I also like to light off consumer fireworks on Independence Day so I built some mortar racks to make that easier.
I also tried my hand at making a knife awhile back after buying a knife blank online. While I didnt get the steel hardened right I am planning on doing another knife.
I do enjoy making things. Next project is to build a work bench.

Some cutting boards I made at the Iowa State woodshop under the MU.
I helped make 4 other humans - does that count??
(But not with my own two hands, I guess...)

I would count them both as they were both made from wood...
Other than a neighbor helping me lift one beam into place this deck was all a one man band build.
