Last post of 2016! Hooray! Remember waaaaaay back in September when I made a post revealing what I wanted my workstation to look like? Me either. Here’s a reminder. The idea was to make a space that was both functional and ridiculously good looking. With the completion of my workbench, I think I nailed it. I had a buddy (unnamed for safety purposes) who once said you can be smart or …

Tool Reviews, Woodworking & Building Stuff. For Fun
For those new to my site, I like to give a little personality to my builds so you know there’s a story behind the piece. In this case, I have an awesome sister-in-law who is a rabid Yankees fan. Which is funny because she used to do the taxes for another team in the AL East and probably let them know how big of a Yankees fan she was while onsite …
You need a media console that’s how big? That’s seriously the same size as the luggage Tom Hanks had in the movie Joe Vs. The Volcano. If you don’t get that obscure reference, let’s just say this thing was going to be a massive entertainment center. Almost 6′ long and over 2′ wide. Like a tall coffin… with rustic farmhouse styling. Ha. Mark this date, farmhouse style coffins are going to be a …
SERENITY NOW! I really tried my hardest not to make any Festivus references when working on this project, but let’s be honest, “I’ve got a lot of problems with you people, and now, you’re gonna hear about it!” It is a holiday pole and I have the sense of humor of a pop culture influenced 15 year old, but I’m going to get my airing of the grievances out of …
Remember when Apple set the tablet world on fire with the iPad and then a few years later they introduced the iPad Mini? Oooooohhhh fancy… you took something we already know and love, made it smaller and now expect us to be interested in this compact version? It’s the same thing right? But smaller? Pfffttttt….

What’s black and blue, made with metal piping, has a “farmhouse” feel with a touch of “industrial” and oh yeah, needs to be at least 72″ long? I wasn’t sure either. Ha! Have you ever seen those CarMax commercials where the people are standing in the parking lot, realize their car is toast and then a blue “start” line magically appears that they unquestioningly follow? First off, if a magical blue line randomly appears …
Soooo… I teased this post WEEKS ago and if you’ve been keeping up with my posts on social media you can absolutely see the lack of progress I’ve had since then on the wall. “Hey why is there a half complete pallet wall in the background of your photos? Still. Like, for weeks.” This had absolutely nothing to do with the difficulty of the project and more so the priority of …
Hey guys we are going to try something new here. I mentioned before I met some awesome folks at the Haven conference, now you finally get a chance to meet one of them. The Fantastic Karrah is from the site Mrs. Do It Herself. She’s a fellow DIY’er/Builder/Maker. Absolutely check out her site at the link above and take a look at some of her tutorials like “How To Paint a …
