"Not So Christmassy" Herb Boxes
Hey Everyone!
Welcome back to the Channel! This will be my last build video of 2020 and I know I should have done a Christmas build, but it completely slipped my mind. So you got some Herb Boxes ready for Spring 2021!
These were a bit tricky since I had no plans for the build. It was pretty much trial and error. I made 2 boxes, 1 off camera just to see if I could do it and the 2nd for you to enjoy. I do hope you enjoy and are able to follow along with what I did. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me.
Thank you again for being here! Hopefully 2021 will be be a better year with new builds! If you are new to the channel, please hit that subscribe button! and as always, Please Like, Share, leave a comment and Subscribe!

Scrap Wood Project: Dog Bed Build
Hey Everyone!
I was able to get more time in the shop than what I previously thought, so I was able to knock out another weekend build!
I purchased my dog Ozzy new bedding, then thought to myself. Wouldn't it be nice for him to have an actual bed. So I looked around my shop to see what I had on hand and voila! A dog bed was built!
This bed was built with:
2 maybe 3 1x3's (8ft)
1.5 cedar picket (6ft)
scrap piece of plywood from my Halloween cutouts
I purchased the dog bed from TJ Maxx for about $15 and with the cost of the wood, this build would have cost me a total of maybe $30. Which is not that bad! I had an idea in my head, but no real instructions. This was built as I went along and some changes were made when I tried to use 1x2s. All the 1x2s that I had were warped, so I was not able to use them. For the top rail of the dog bed, I trimmed down a 1x3 and used that. Which it turned out pretty cool.
This was a fun build and I you have any questions. I am here to answer them! Like I said, this build has no instructions and everything was built based on the dimensions of the bed. So please, don't hesitate to ask me anything and I hope you give this a try! Great for Dogs and Cat beds (as you will see in the video)

Buffalo Plaid Welcome Sign for your Front Door
Hey Everyone!
Welcome back to the Channel and Happy New Year! 2020 was rough, 2021 may not be better, but let's hope for the best.
I took some time off to think of my next few builds for 2021 and decided that the first "build" will be a Welcome sign for the front door to welcome 2021.
Now, you can cut your own wood, but we are going to make this easy and just use hobby boards I purchased on Amazon. (link below) In this video, I'm going to show you how to paint a buffalo plaid design on the wood, then I will show you how to make the most simplest of bows, then slap on some greenery and Viola! We have a new welcome sign to bring on the new year!

Collapsible Tablet/iPad Stand
Hello my beautiful people!
Todays video is a super simple and fun project to make! No power tools required which is the best part!
I love to cook and have a TON of recipes I like to try. I use my cell phone to view them, which is fine, but it's on a small screen. So instead of lugging my laptop into the kitchen, I decided to use my Samsung Tablet that has recently been repaired by my husband. To make my recipe experience better, I decided to build a collapsible stand for it.
I think it turned out great and something very easy to make for any beginner! I will put the measurement's below for a 10 inch tablet. If yours is bigger or smaller, just adjust your cuts and you are golden!
I hope you try this out if you're looking to build yourself one of these stands!

DIY Farmhouse TV Stand &/or Sofa Table
Hey Everyone!
This was fun build and a special build. My sister-in-law asked me to make a narrow TV stand for her son. Something that he will have for a long time. She could have purchased something online, but wanted me to build it so it would be something special just for him. And who doesn't like handmade items!
In the picture she sent, the bottom shelf was higher up, the base was built with nothing but 2x4s with the top and bottom shelf made with 1x5s. There was not X design on the back. (Before I started to stain this project, I decided to add that just for looks. I think it turned out very nice. ) I built the top and sat it aside and started to work on the base, I noticed that it was going to be too narrow and end up being too top heavy with the height that she though she wanted and once I sat the finished top on the base, it was not appealing to the eye. So after taking a break and rethinking the design, I decided in this version.
So without further ado, here is the build! It was easy and can totally be customized. If you want to make it taller and turn it into a sofa table, it will be super easy to do. This also can be a entry table if you want to make it shorter. This guy is 52in long, 32 in high and 13.5ins wide. I hope you enjoy the video and I hope if this is something you are looking at wanting to build, please give this a try! It really was very simple and should only take a weekend to build.

DIY Garage Cabinet with Peg Board Door
Hey Everyone!
I debated making this video because I wasn't really sure how or if it would turn out. I've never worked with MDF before and didn't know if it would hold what I needed it for.
With my small garage/shop, I don't have many places to put things and the wall space is limited. Two weeks ago, I got a wild hair and decided to clear out and organize the garage. I wanted to build a cabinet that would hold all of my wood screws, nails, saw blades and a few hand tools. So a cabinet with a peg board front is what I wanted to build.
Being that it is MDF and not a strong as wood, I decided not to add the saw blades in fears that it would be way too heavy. The cabinet itself is heavy and then attaching the door would probably be the limit. (I also attached a 1x2 to help support the door when it's closed...b/c again it is heavy) I was going to do a French Cleat on the back, but totally forgot about it when cutting the side panels. So I have some heavy duty hangers on the back and a L bracket at the base to give it a little extra stability.
In the end, I'm very happy with the way it turned out. In the end this thing is solid and as long as I'm not flinging the door open, it will hold all of my tool and not droop or fall apart. Take a look at the video and tell me what you think!
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. This video has no instructions and I just built & figured things out as I went along. If you are new here, welcome! Please like share and subscribe if you haven't already!
Thanks for watching and happy building!

Raised Planter Boxes
Hey Everyone!
With spring in full swing, I need to get my garden ready for this years veggies. I decided to move the entire garden from one side of the yard, to closer to the house for easy watering. This year, I decided to go small because I haven't been having too much luck with maintaining too many veggies.
With the price of wood, I had to make a choice on how I wanted to build this thing. It was going in a place where it would be visible for everyone to see. So I wanted to make it pretty but still functional. My first choice was to make this out of 1x6's but have you seen the prices?! Holy G! So I decided to build everything out of cedar picket fences which cost less than $4 a picket. Still higher than before, but better than paying $10 a board. For the legs, I was going to use 2x4s, but again the cost. So I decided to purchase 1x4s and cut them down to 1x2s & 1x1s so I can make sturdy L shaped legs.
So I'm not going to tell you this was an easy build because of all the boards I ended up cutting, but if you were to buy 1x2s, 1x1s and the cedar pickets, you would spend a small fortune on planter boxes. but, really, if you didn't have to do all the cutting, this is really a simple design and build.
For 1 5ft planter box, I used 5 (6) pickets and 2 1x4's which cost me about $35, which is not bad. I ended up building 3 boxes total of different sizes.
So, with that said, please enjoy this video. Let me know what you think and if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them. Thank you again for being here, please don't forget to hit that Like button, Share this video and PLEASE hit that subscribe button! Happy Building!

River Stone Garden Art
Hey Everyone!
Today's video is for the kids...or the kids at heart! Whichever you are and if you like arts & crafts, today is your video!
I wanted to make garden markers out of some river stone I collected from my vacations to the mountains. We don't have river stone in Charleston, we have pluff mud LOL! So going through my collection, I found some good stones that would be perfect!
This is a Two part video. So stay tuned after the veggie markers to see what's next! This project is fun for the whole family! Get your kids involved and paint what every you want on your stones! If you are like me and don't have access to river stones, you can go to any home/craft store and purchase some.
I hope you enjoy this video! Thank you for watching and please Like, Share and Subscribe!
