Garden Bench Plan

Another garden bench plan.  If you are like me, you can’t get enough of these easy to knock off plans.  In fact, wood plans like these garden bench plans from Lowe’s are the foundation of many curbside woodworking businesses.  How many times have you seen a few pieces of outdoor furniture like Adirondack Chairs and picnic tables on the side of the road with for sale sign?

Deck Chair Plans

These plans are for a cedar deck chair. I love the Adirondack style chairs but, for some, they are difficult to get in and out of. This case will call for a more upright chair.

These cedar deck chair plans are thorough and included an expanded/exploded view of the project. This is my favorite type of plan to work from. There is a drawing that has every last measurement to reference. Good luck with your deck chair project.

Simple Shelving Plans

Shelves are needed in every home. If you want to know the basic construction techniques for a simple shelf unit, follow this link to DIY. You might call this a bookcase rather than a shelving unit, but to each his own.

The plans are not very comprehensive, but all is well since there is a video how-to.   All the tools that are needed are a hammer, circular saw, drill, and tape measure.

Good luck with this simple shelf / book case plan.

Drill and Bit Organizer

Drill organizer If you are like me, your workshop might be a mess from time to time. You are working on more than one project and your power tools from each might not be put away. Your bits are out of their cases and the scrap wood and other material that you can’t bring yourself to throw out is on the floor or stacked in a poor manner. Enough about my messy work shop.

Every little thing that I do to keep my shop organized makes me happy. Why don’t you do the same for yourself. Here are some simple plans for a drill and drill bit center that is wall mounted, exposed and easy to use. What is the number one reason that we don’t put our tools away? Done guessing? Because we can’t easily access the tool before or after it is put away.

Have your tools out in the open is a double edged blade. They are easily accessible and simple to put away, BUT, they will be subject to wood dust from future projects. This rack is very open and is easy enought to blow off. You could even fashion your own hinged cover if you would like to use up some wood scraps.

Good luck with this simple and enjoyable workshop project.
