In this video I covered our 101 acre plan. This is a 5-10 year plan that will obviously change. As things progress, perspectives and priorities evolve. Being able to look back onto this initial plan will be fun in the next few years ..read more

We sold our house and shop, so it’s time to move my Avid CNC machine. If you’re not familiar with the machine, it has a horizontal capacity of a smidgen more than 4′ in the X direction and 10′ in the Y direction. I added a vertical table to the front, which takes up some ..read more

This is a problem/solution project. My daughter needs a storage shelf to keep some of her belongings off the floor. The solution is to make this shelving unit. For this build, I’m using box store lumber—southern yellow pine 2x10s. I live in a very humid climate, so the fact that these aren’t kiln-dried to “furniture-grade ..read more

SketchUp time! I want to make a functional shelf that maximizes storage for my daughter’s room. Instead of a basic utility style, I want it to look a little bit visually interesting.
