Boy do I love this bench plan.  This bench is simple, attractive and will fit in virtually any decor (dependent on the finish).   This is a bench that could fit outdoors or in.  I could see this in a mudroom, on a sunporch, in a garage, or on a front porch or patio.  The [...]

We have shared a Porch Glider Plan in the past, but a variation on the theme is always in order.  Everyone has a slightly different aesthetic and, even though the methods are essentially the same, seeing a design that suits your style is much more likely to get you to start building. The following porch [...]

The following Kentucky Chair was built by a WoodworkCity.com reader.  We love posts like this and seeing that this came from a plan that might not have been fully hashed out, it is great to seem some innovation in the design and/or material.  The original Kentucky chair plan was posted in July of 2011 and [...]

There are many names for the following plan.  Here are a few Entry cubbies Entry lockers Mud room storage Mudroom lockers Anyone who has dealt with mud room, or entry, storage has probably wanted to build a set of lockers or cubbies.  We all know how much stuff can pile up in an entry space. [...]

Most modern house designs call for a “mud room” or entry hallway that often includes a boot bench, some locker style storage, or a cubby for random items.  The following is a simple plan from Cottage Life Magazine that lays out a simple way to build an attractive set of cubbies (cubby’s?? spelling?).  These are [...]

folding-adirondack-chair-diagram folding-adirondack-chair-material-cut Over the past 15 years I have personally built over 100 Adirondack chairs.  I don’t want to look back and count, but the number might exceed 200 chairs.  During that time, even with that large number of Adirondack chairs, I haven’t built a single folding Adirondack chair.  Looking back, that seems silly.  A folding chair [...]

Who doesn’t love a nice porch swing or garden swing.  A swing can be a tricky item to build if it is highly detailed and includes joints and techniques that they average woodworker doesn’t often utilize.  The reason that I like this plan is because it is simplified, yet beautiful, and well constructed.  The plans come [...]

Need a headboard?  Build your own. Building a bed seems like a daunting task.  To be honest, it is not as a big a deal as it sounds.  Your sizes are limited, there are a LOT of reference photos and the amount of material is not too large. The following headboard plan is from the [...]
