Patriot Mountain Off-Road Park: JEEP STUFF
Hey Everyone!
This video was made for my Father. He took his Jeep Wrangler off-roading for the first time and I thought it would be nice to document the event.
Now, I'm not the best at this and I did not have a gimble, so a few videos are shaky, but I tried to fix it. Hopefully this won't give you a headache from watching. LOL!
I decided to make it public so anyone who likes Jeeps can enjoy and also to advertise for this great off-roading park we found while camping in Banner Elk, North Carolina. This place is called Patriot Mtn Off-Roading Park in Sugar Grove, North Carolina. Great guy who runs the place and has some great trails. If you have a stock 4x4, you can still have fun. Link below. Go check them out.
With that said, I hope you enjoy this. Please like, share and subscribe. New Build coming this Friday, so check that out as well!

Hey Everyone!
Here is a quick video on how to build a simple shelf w/ hooks. These shelves are for my parents newly renovated bathroom. They wanted to shelfs to be mounted above the toilet. One with hooks, the other without.
I think these turned out pretty well, even though on one of them you can see gaps. The wood was warped and I had to made due with what I had on hand. There is a cut list below for my shelf, which is 27" long. But you can make your shelf whatever size that fits your needs.
With that said, please enjoy this video and don't forget to Like, Share and Subscribe.

**also, I ran my 2x2s through a planer because they were looking rough, so now they are 1.25 x 1.25**
1x6:
1 @ 27"
1 @ 24.25"
2x2:
2 @ 5.5"
2 @ 7" then Miter cut 45° short side @ 3.5" long side @ 6" (this was hard for me to explain, as I am NOT good with angles. I hope you understand what I'm saying)

Hey Everyone!
This video is dedicated to my Totes-Bestie, Forrest and our annual Hocus Pocus movie nights.
It is officially FALL! I'm beyond excited. Cooler weather, pumpkin patches and Scary movies! Oh and our yearly trip to the mountains!
This video is for all you crafters out there. I show you how to make and assemble a wooden bead garland with a Halloween twist. This is a super easy project and you definitely don't have to use any power tools. You can purchase wooden cut outs at any craft store or on Etsy. The wooden beads and twine can also be purchased at your local craft store. I will link below to the ones I got. They come in all different sizes. For this garland I used 20mm and 16mm beads.
I hope you enjoyed this arts and crafts video and if you are a fall/Halloween lover like me, I hope you give it a try!
As always, thank you for watching. Please Like, Share and Subscribe! Follow me on Instagram as well for behind the scenes.

Lots of stuff happening over here at the Hill house. Also, vacation coming up. I may do a video of the Camp site and area we are staying at. For those in our neck of the woods that might like to visit. So stay tuned!

Wooden Jack -O- Lantern
Hey Everyone!
Taking a break from the home updates to give you a fun video to enjoy.
I got to a point where I'm no longer excited about painting, but really, who is excited about painting?? But when you finish a big project, and it looks amazing, it gives me a bit more motivation to keep painting.
BUT, I had to take a break. So since fall/Halloween is my favorite time of the year, I decided to make you some wooden pumpkins. I've seen these all over the internet and always wanted to make my own. So I did and they turned out amazing!
I used leftover cedar fence boards for this. One that is 6 inches wide and I found a 4 inch board. You can use boards that are all the same size, but I wanted a bit of a overhang for the top and bottom. So instead of having to cut down a board, I just used the 4 inch for the sides. If you don't have any scrap boards, you can pick these boards up at your local home store for less than $4. (both sizes)
I will have a cut list below for you if you would like to make this. As for the paint. After I burned the wood, I was going to leave them like that, but decided to add paint. The 8in was a combination of white & orange mix (acrylic paint) but it was a bit too light in color, so I ran the torch back over the paint and it gave it a greenish blue tint along with the white/orange. Looked pretty cool, so I left it. The 10in pumpkin, I dry lightly brushed acrylic orange, trying not to cover the burn marks. The end result looks great. And the last 12in, I left it Shou Sugi Ban, because I loved the look. No need to sand this project especially if you burn it. The burning process will get rid of any jagged splinters. Seal your project with weather resistant sealant and VIOLA, you're done!
I hope you enjoyed this quick video. I'll try to do another in a few weeks. In the meantime, follow me on Instagram for behind the scene stuff. See the progress of our house updates! (painting)

DIY Floating Shelf
Hey Everyone!
I'm kind of excited about this video. I LOVE the way it turned out and they are a perfect fit for my soon to be Farmhouse kitchen!
Now, these are not your typical floating shelves. Most people use either 2x4s or 2x4s for the wall mount back brace. Well, I didn't want 4+ inch thick shelves. I wanted to use a 1x3 (2.5") as the thickness and a 1x6 (5.5") for the shelf but I was unsure if my modified 2x2 would hold the weight of my mason jars. I was afraid of flex and eventually everything crashing down. So after consulting my fellow wood working experts, they helped put my mind at ease. And let me tell you, these shelves are solid! No bend, No flex. 100% secured to the wall.
**The key is wall studs & 3.5 or 4 inch wood screws (and a washer for extra surface support)
So if you are like me and didn't want a thick shelf, then my cut list will be below. If you want the traditional shelf, that is below as well. Everything is built the exact same way.
I hope you enjoy this video. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. As always, thank you for watching and for the support. If you are new, welcome! Please Like, Share & Subscribe!

https://youtu.be/0FpSj0Atxts
My Cut List: (for 1 shelf)
qty 1: 1x3x8
qty 1: 1x6x8
2ty 1: 2x2
Depending on how long you want your shelf, mine is 40.5 inches.
Cut:
(1) 1x3 to 40.5"
(2) 1x3 to 5.5"
(2) 1x6 to 39"
rip your 2x2 down to size with a table saw. My wall mount back brace is 1.5" x 1". now you can cut to length. (1) at 39" and (4) arms at 4"
**if you have any questions. please ask)
Cut list using a 2x4 for the wall mount: (40.5 in shelf)
qty 1: 2x4x8
qty 1: 1x6x8
qty 1: 1x12x8
Cut:
(1) 1x6 to 40.5"
(2) 1x6 to 5.5"
(2) 1x12 to 39"
same cut list above. just bigger boards. The wall mount back brace arms (4) will be 9 3/4 inches. Use two pocket holes to attach the arms to the wall mount (39") side note: you may want to use pocket holes instead of brad nails to build the floating shelf. just because of how big the shelf will be in the end. (this is why I wanted smaller shelves)
Please note. You can make your shelf as long as you want, just increase you cuts to whatever your heart desires. Just make sure you have a good amount of wall studs to attach to. I had 3 studs in my wall. We have a pocket door that goes into the wall my shelf is attached to so 2 of my studs were practically next to each other. Still worked out in the end.

DIY Blanket Ladder
Hey everyone!
Here is a quick build just in time for the weekend! And when I say easy, I mean easy! No power tools needed. All you need are a few basic tools and some wood glue and you're all set.
This is a great project for beginners so I if you are on the fence about building, this is a project you should definitely try.
I made this into a 4ft blanket ladder because of the lack of material I had on hand. If you don't have leftover wood. all you will need to make this 4ft ladder is one 2x2 and one 1x2...and that's it! Make this ladder for less than $10.00 (with today's prices) I hope you give this a try. You can make this and big or small as you want. A cut list is below for a 4 and 6 ft ladder.
I hope you enjoyed. Please consider subscribing to my channel if you haven't already. And as always, thank you for being here. Thank you for the support. Like, Share and Subscribe! Happy Building!

DIY Entry Table w/ 3 Tier Shoe Rack
Hey Everyone!
I'm back! I had a nice vacation and it was even better because my best friend was in town to share it with me and my family.
Today's video was quickly put together for you to enjoy. I've been wanting to make a nice shoe rack for my back door, but never got around to making one. So when I decided to build one, I had no instructions, just a thought in my head. I sketched it out and then determined how big I wanted it. I found some leftover scraps from previous builds and starting building. I was going to try to draw something up for you, but with limited time, all I was able to do was give you a cut list. Hopefully you will be able to follow along with the video and build one for yourself.
This shoe rack is very customizable and you can make it into a bench if that is what you are needing. We wanted something that we could use as a table as well, so when I decided to make it 30 inches tall, I didn't even think about it being too tall for a bench. So the title was changed after I did my intro.
The area we have it at is small and what we had there already was a cheap broken shoe holder that never could hold shoes, so everything would be scattered at the back door. This was my solution and it was perfect! It is a simple build that you can do with a few tools and a weekend. I hope you give this a try and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. As always, thank you for watching, please don't forget to like, Share and Subscribe! Happy Building!
Cut List:
Remember, I'm using whatever I had in my shop. if you do not have wood laying around and have to buy, you will need at least 4 or 5, 1 x 2's and 1, 2 x 2's
table top:
1 x 12 x 4ft = 1 @ 30 inches
table legs:
2 x 2 x 8t = 4 @ 29 1/4 inches
Shoe support rails:
1 x 2 x 8 = 11 @ 25 inches
1 x 2 x 8 = 8 @ 5.5 inches

Easy DIY Headboard
Hey Everyone!
I've been wanting to make a headboard for a while and now I had a reason to put the build in motion! My totes-bestie is coming to visit me in July and I wanted to get her room ready and feeling like home!
I wanted to make something easy to build but still looks good! Of course it has to look farm housey which, I think I nailed it. This is super simple and yes I up loaded the plans below. I don't know how to right up "instructions" but I can draw a bit. In the link below you will see my sketch with all of the measurements. That should help if you are wanting to build this particular headboard. You can also customize it to fit your needs, which is the beauty of this project.
So, I hope you enjoy this video and give it a try. As always, thank you for being here, please LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE! Happy Building!
PS: I'm taking a little break from the birdhouse kick. But I will make #4 soon.

DIY: Wooden Cake Knife
Hey Everyone!
Okay, this was 1000% FUN to make! Didn't take long at all and was pretty simple to do, if you have a scroll saw and a belt sander that is. LOTS of sanding...LOTS!
So many ideas popped in my head while I was doing all that sanding, Since I had a lot of time to think LOL! This would be perfect to give a gift to that favorite cook in your life or made for a wedding gift to slice the cake. You can carve a message into the "blade" or into the handle. You can cut this into many different designs and styles. So many possibilities for this project.
This was not an expensive project either. I used Red Oak and Poplar hobby boards I picked up at Lowes (approx. $10 total ). You can use what ever type of wood you want if you have access to it. I've seen cake knifes built out of Walnut, which is a really pretty grain. but since I don't have access to pretty woods, I worked with what I had and it turned out amazing!
I hope you enjoyed this video. Let me know what you think in the comments below. I may do another version of this for you in a letter video, so stay tuned for that. If any of my local peeps is interested in me making one for you, message me and I will be happy to make something special for you. And to all of you out there, thank you so much for watching, thank you for your support and as always, Happy Building!

"DIY" Squirrel house (not an easy DIY, no Instructions)
Hey Everyone!
So, I'm like the squirrel whisperer here in my house. I love my furry critters outside. I can have about 20 squirrels in my yard at any given time. They are good about not messing with my garden, because I feed them. I even have 2 that will walk up to me. Spot (male) and a "little" soon to be mama that waits for me every day on my outdoor sofa. I give them peanuts everyday and the always come back.
So, even though I know mama has a nest somewhere, I wanted to build her something. So a squirrel house came to mind and I started to draw out an idea. Well...let's just say this was harder then expected LOL!
So like the title says, there are NO instructions for this build. Just sit back and enjoy my Monster squirrel house in the making and as always, thank you for being here, thank you for watching. Don't forget to LIKE, SHARE & SUBSCRIBE!
Happy Building!

Scrap Wood Project: House Number sign with Mailbox
Hey Everyone!
Here is another Scrap Wood Project that anyone can do! I always say, this is not hard and today...I really mean it!
This was VERY simple and looks amazing! Even if you don't have a mailbox on your house, you can ditch the lid and make it into a small planter box! Your options are endless!
I'm again trying something new and actually talking you through this build. Please bare with me as I'm trying get the right words and not say um so much :)
For this build, I used 2 (1.5) ; cedar pickets for the back/box and 1; 1x2 for the frame. Small hinges, 4in house numbers and my cricut machine to add the street name. As for tools, I cut everything with my table saw. Planer is options, but definitely recommended if you are using cedar pickets. Last, but not least, a router, orbital sander, wood glue, clamps, tape measure, pencil and a nailgun. Have fun and I hope you try this out for yourself!

DIY Scrap Wood Garden Tote
Hey Everyone!
For spring and gardening season, I decided to make a new garden tote out of leftover scrap wood I had. This was an easy build, if you don't count the wire mesh I used. But once I stepped back and took my time to figure out how to attach it, the easier it will be the next time I make one.
I made this without knowing how I was going to do it, but I knew I wanted to use the wire mesh I had laying around. Once I found the scraps I was going to use, the vision of a shopping basket came to mind. I think it turned out absolutely amazing! So nice that, I kinda don't want to use it in my garden.
If you would like to make this exact tote and have any questions, please leave them down in the comments and I will be happy to help. This tote is very versatile and you could make this any size that you would like. I think this is a perfect size for my garden and can't wait to use it when I harvest all my veggies!

East 2x4 Planting Station/Potting Table
Hey Everyone!
This year, I'm having to relocate and rethink my garden. I've always wanted a fancy garden, but never really wanted to spend the money on buying things to make my garden all fancy like you see on Pinterest. but since I now know how to build things. I'm going to make it happen!
First I wanted to build a planting stations. A place I can keep all of my pots and tools. This way, everything will be at my fingertips and I wont have to get my shop dirty with all the dirt that I'm going to drop on the ground. (shops messy already)
This 2x4 VERY EASY planting station was made with only 7 2x4s. Nothing wasted. The top and storage shelf was made with Cedar pickets (6). which are super cheap and easy to replace if anything happens. The 2x2's (2) I used was just for decoration and is optional. You can paint, leave natural or stain this piece. I chose to stain mine, since I'm making this garden fancy!
I hope you enjoy this video. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Like I said, this was a super simple build and I hope you can build your own! Power tools are not needed if you have a little elbow grease, but it is way faster, this was a weekend build. I could have only taken a day, but with all the rain we had. I turned it into 2. Again, I hope you enjoy. Thank you for watching and being here! Please Like, Share and Subscribe if you haven't already!

Plywood Witch Silhouette's
Hey Everyone!
I don't know about you, but I LOVE FALL! Bring on the cooler weather, scary movies, Halloween and pumpkin EVERYTHING!
Last week I showed you how to make concrete pumpkins, today, I bring you Plywood Witch Silhouette's! This was fun and easy! If you know how draw or not, you can do this! Find a picture or draw whatever you desire. Make this your own! If you are not an artist and have access to a projector, you can project your design onto the plywood and go from there.
This was the cheapest plywood($9) I could find. It was on the 70% off rack at Home Depot because it had a bunch of knots and was a bit warped. In total, with the paint ($.98 per can) and 2 PVC pipes ($4), this cost me less than $20. Not bad for Halloween decorations!
I hope you enjoyed this video and try it out for yourself! As always, thank you for watching! Please leave a comment below. Like, Share and Subscribe!
Happy Fall ALL! M
