I built this table to fit behind our sectional sofa because there wasn't any place to put drinks. Previously, we were putting drinks on the back of the sofa and you can imagine how that went.  This table was built from some scrap 1/2" plywood and 2x4s I had leftover in...

I had been wanting to build a new shelf in my office to replace my "JL" shelves because they weren't very practical and couldn't hold much. I went with the three column adjustable design based on a video I saw on I Like to Make Stuff. The project started off...

This past Christmas, my wife and I wanted to continue the tradition of hand-making some gifts out of wood. We looked online for inspiration and came up with the idea to make a Santa Claus, reindeer and some snowmen out of 4x4-inch wood posts. I already had the wooden posts leftover from...

I was inspired to build this NES coffee table after seeing something similar on Facebook. I thought it would be a fun project and a nice addition to my basement man cave (where I play video games). I grew up with Nintendo and just seeing a Nintendo console makes me...
