So last weekend we ripped out some of the hardwood flooring in our vestibule and got started with adding in the new boards.  Since we were super busy with work and our Free Built-In Plans, we haven’t had much opportunity to continue work on it.  Even though the office floor is roughly half done, it’s […]

Well, we’ve had another busy week.  Fortunately for you, we’ve been busy working on our next set of free woodworking plans. These plans took FOREVER! I kinda went a little overboard too.  They’re more like an ebook than plans.  Complete with a material and tool list, step by step instructions, etc.  It’s more than 30 […]

Happy 2014!!  We’re back.  Cue the theme music. A few weeks ago, I finished up my last grad school course and headed into the holidays ready to take some much needed time off.  Consequently, we decided to take a blog vacation until the holidays were over.  Hope you missed us. This past week, we kicked-off […]

Happy Friday folks! Christmas is less than two weeks away. Hope your shopping and decorating is going well. I have yet to purchase a single item. Pretty par for the course for me though. Today I wanted to start sharing some of our home office ideas. If you follow our Pinterest home office ideas board, […]

We are excited to finally make some woodworking plans available.  We’re starting with our Mobile Workbench.  The plans include a complete material list  as well as detailed, graphic instructions.  The workbench plans are absolutely free to our newsletter subscribers.  You may have seen our How-To post on this workbench on our DIY Projects page.  The […]

Even though we’re still wrapping up some work in our sitting room (paint and some decor still to-do), we wanted to let everyone know what project we’d be starting after we finish.  We’re psyched to be switching gears soon and finally getting to work on our home office. If you took our home tour, you […]

The TV stand is finally done.  During the week I wrapped the bottom of the cabinet with some baseboard molding using the same procedure we used on our first built-in.  The only thing I may still do to the cabinet is re-coat the top and shelves with some cabinet grade enamel paint.  The latex paint […]

So I was going to make another video of the cabinet installation, since we were already at that point.  Then I realized, I’d be showing a 30 second long clip of me screwing the cabinet to the wall.  (I just secured the cabinet to the wall with a couple of 2″ drywall screws.  The screws […]

This is part 10 in our series on building a custom TV stand. There won’t be a part 12, I promise. Maybe a wrap up post, but that’s it. We’re almost, almost done. The cabinet is pretty much all built. I just have to attach the doors and install it. In today’s video I show […]

So our Custom Media Cabinet is nearly complete.  I’m hoping to get it painted and then assembled this weekend.  Instead of putting it together and then painting it, I’m going to try painting most of it first and then gluing it up.  It was a major PIA to paint our built-in once it was finished. […]
