Shovels, brooms, and garden tools can be very diffiult to store. They are often in the way and the products from your local home store aren’t often sufficient (let’s not forget, expensive). This is a nice project if you are looking to organize your garage. Combine this with some nice cabinet storage in your garage and you will have your tools and supplies up off the floor and out of sight.

This is a beautiful mission style bookcase plan. You might call it “Craftsman Style”, as you might find in furniture from the Roycroft movement. It isn’t a free plan, but this is a beautiful project. I built this for my own home with a few modifications. The cabinet plans are incredibly detailed and easy to follow.

Someone recently asked me if I had could find free lawn glider plans. Sure, no problem. Well, the plans for a lawn swing or lawn glider weren’t as easy to find as I expected. There are a ton of free porch swing plans, but no so many for the glider style lawn swing.

The plans above are from the LSU Agricultural Center. They may not be too detailed, but it should give you a point to work from.

There is a nice glider and lawn swing plan included in the following book found at Amazon.com.

Of course they aren’t free!

Mailbox protection plans

This isn’t so much a woodworking plan as an aparatus, but after my mailbox was destroyed by a snowplow I felt the need to locate some protection.

This is a patent, so I am not sure if there is an actual product behind it. Good luck if you choose to modify this into a woodworking plan to protect your own mailbox.
