    Upholstering Bar Stools for the Kitchen

    September 10, 2018 /

    Today I am going to show you what not to do when upholstering a stool. You’re welcome. We have these two stools at the island in the kitchen and thinking back we have had them for at least 25 years. And for about 15 of those years we weren’t even using them. Not sure why we hung on to them, nothing special. Just your regular bar stools. Here is what they looked like just a few days ago.

    Working With What Ya Got…Table Makeover

    August 1, 2018 /

    Several years ago, Jim built this hall table. It has been moved around in several different locations but has landed here and is a perfect fit for this wall.  Actually it was pretty cheerful and we happily lived with it for 6 or 7 years. While I enjoyed the color, it was time for a change.

    Building a Twisty Table

    May 7, 2018 /

    Ever see something and say, “I can build that”. Yeah, we do the same thing. Which reminds me, I’m quitting Pinterest. I recently saw a small twisty table which was awesome and thought it would be a fun EASY project. Not fun, and definitely not easy. Challenging comes to mind. But really, how hard could it be? This is the picture from Pinterest.

    Lamp #2 with glass base.

    Lamp 2.0 Glass Base

    Back again with lamp 2.0. This time we worked on making a glass lamp which was where the shape came from for the plywood lamp.  We already had the glass bottle on hand, it had a rope handle which I really liked but not for a lamp, so first we removed the handle.

    Lowes® Race Car Bed project Part1

    November 20, 2016 /

    Today we take on a Race Car Bed plan. I have been asked by a local customer to build this for their son. In this short video I talk about making templates from plywood to make the task of cutting some of the parts a little bit easier.

    building our Maple Leaf chair

    We designed our Maritime Maple Leaf chair to be built from one sheet of 3/4 inch plywood. I decided to do this mostly to show that you can build a chair from a sheet of plywood, and be creative at the same time.
