Pipe & Wood Table V2

We loved our DIY Pipe & Wood table and bench. However, we started to fall out of love with it after living with it for a few months. In order to get the table done on a budget & quick timeline we used framing grade spruce lumber from the big box store. Over time the...

Quick no Plan Project: Beer Can Carrier

Last weekend while Kristen was sanding a new project and I had little to do. Sure I could have helped. But why not whip together a quick project while she did all the boring work? I have seen many beer/can carriers on the internet and decided to give it a try myself. I started by measuring a...

Sunday was spent cutting, gluing, screwing, sanding and culminated with applying the first coat of stain on our current project. I let the stain soak in, then wiped it off.

We made some headway with Daniel & Adelle's Farmhouse Table in the last week. We put in one solid days work on the weekend, as well as one weekday evening. Our work was a bit all over the map, as there was four of us we decided it was best...
