Yesterday, we featured a straight footbridge plan. Today we have 2 separate arched foot bridge plans. The second plan (below) can be modified to cover just about any span. It is a very interesting bridge structure.
Good luck with these great backyard garden bridges. Send in your own pictures and we will include an article about your project on woodworkcity.com.

This arched bridge plan can be modified to meet the span that you need to cover. Quite an interesting bit of engineering, yet very straightforward to build. I encourage you to look at these plans even if you aren’t going to use them. Knowing the construction method will make you a better builder.
If you are looking for a garden bridge that does not have an arch, take a look at the straight garden bridge plans from yesterday.

I know it isn’t exactly the season to be building a project for your basement, rec room, or game room, but football season is just around the corner. So get started now and be ready. In fact, why don’t you be sure to work on the poker table as well.
The bar plans come from a Canadian plywood company. As you might expect, plywood is the core material for this bar. Honestly, any cabinet work that involves box type construction will use plywood.
There are real nice diagrams, cut lists, cutting layouts (a bonus) and expanded views of the bar to work with. You shouldn’t have trouble building this bar from these plans. They are very thorough. The real magic comes with your finishing touches. Consider some great bar hardware from Rockler Woodworking. If I was building this, I would probably use a nice granite tile for the top. Here is an article about installing granite tile countertop. You could modify the DIY article to fit your needs.

I received a request for Children’s table plans that fit together like a puzzle and uses no nails or glue. Well, I was able to locate some table plans that fit the bill, but they might a little difficult to follow.
I am wondering if you have plans for a kids picnic table that uses no nails or glue? All the pieces fit together like a puzzle.
Janet, I think that this is probably what you are after. It is a table that is constructed from 1 sheet of plywood and fits together without hardware, like a puzzle.
Good luck. Please let me know if I can be of assistance.

When searching for this woodworking project, you might find yourself looking for a “pergola screen”, “arbor screen”, or “trellis screen”. My wife wants something specific to provide privacy on an outdoor patio. This isn’t exactly what she had in mind, but it might be close.
Good luck with this great outdoor screen project.

How many picnic table plans does someone need? Well, I do feel that the picnic table is a great woodworking project.
This plan is from Home Depot and is very thorough. As with the other plans from the major retailers, you can bring in your material list and walk out with everything you need (tools included).
There is a nice additional feature that this plan calls for. There is a method used to create an arch at the end of the table. One rather simple technique does a lot to dress your picnic table up. The Home Depot plan doesn’t cover it in much detail.
Good luck and have fun.

Fido should be spending his or her sleeping hours in style. In fact, this is a great project to learn some framing techniques that you can use on other projects such as a playhouse, a shed, another shed, or a garage.
Click the image for the detailed wood plans and get to work. Make your mistakes on this project and then scale up. The woodworking techniques are very similar from one building to the next and there is no better way to hone your skills than to practice with your tools, your measurements, and your techniques.
Good luck with this build.
