Pom Pom Reindeer Christmas Ornaments
Every year around this time I usually make a new ornament for our Christmas tree. Then tuck it away until it’s time to decorate the tree. Usually I have forgotten about it and it’s fun to haul it out when the time comes.

Building A Chicken Birdhouse
My sister has a birthday coming up. While in our printer room folding plans for our online woodworking plans store Woodworkersworkshop.com, I was folding a plan for a chicken birdhouse and had a lightbulb moment. We should build her a chicken birdhouse. LOL. Only makes sense if you know that they have chickens. Lots of chickens.

Making a Live Edge Bathtub Tray
When we finished the basement a few years back, we took our time to find the things we wanted to outfit it with. That included going to an auction and getting this dresser which we turned into a vanity. Since this bathroom doesn’t get high use, we left the original mirror even though it is a little wavy.

Making Beach Art Using Wood
We decided to use up some of our scrap wood to make a piece of art for the living room. I saw something similar on Pinterest and followed the link to Etsy. Yikes. I think they were asking around $400. I knew we could put our own spin on it and decided to give it a go. The first step was to start cutting strips of wood into varying widths and thicknesses on the table saw.
