I started a new project a Lego travel case!

My older sons birthday is next month and my wife suggested that I make him a travel case for his Legos.  I bought him 5 lbs of Legos last year for his birthday and 2 lbs the year before that.  He also has around 10 smaller kits that have all been assimilated into his collection.  I had originally planned to use scraps of cedar fence post left over from the planter build but upon closer inspection that are all warped or twisted in some choice so I went to Lowes and picked up some 1/2" poplar boards.  I started the glue up last night and plan on working on it some more tomorrow.  I have been vlogging about it on my YouTube channel and you can check it out here:  http://www.youtube.com/funwithwoodworking

The New Yankee Workshop workbench build has started!

Ive been watching a lot of episodes of The New Yankee Workshop on YouTube lately and one of my favorites is their woodworking workbench.  I found a hardcover copy of the 1st season of NYW book on eBay for a good price.  Norm said that the project can be made with 6 - 2x4s so I bought 7.  I made one mistake in my cuts and had to redo one 17" board that somehow came out 16.75" and still managed to use only 6 - 2x4s.  I am also shooting video on this project so I didnt take as many pictures as I normally would have.
Its Norm!
 This is the goal for my workbench to look like.
My wife got me this dado set for christmas.  I cant find anywhere to buy new plates for my table saw so I
am in the process of making one out of hardboard.
The new plate for the dado set is almost done.
The plan called for 6 - 2x4s so I bought 7.
Time to make some cuts.
These are all the pieces cut for the frame of the workbench.
Even with my one screwup this is all I had left for scraps.
These are all the pieces laid out.  Rabbits and dados are next!

New project started a modified version of a 5 board bench!

I started a new project this weekend.  My sister asked me to make her a bench so I did some searching and decided to make a modified version of a 5 board bench.  Here are a couple pictures of it held together with clamps.  Look for a full build post coming soon!

My first workbench

I was going through some files on my computer and found a couple of pictures from when I built my first workbench a couple of years ago.  I only had a cordless circular saw and a cordless drill at the time and it was my excuse to buy a mitre saw.  I had zero woodworking experience and was determined to over engineer the hell out of it.  I think that I used 13 - 2x4s on that one bench.  Each leg is made out of 2 pieces of 2x4 that are screwed together in an L shape.  I notched each one at the top and bottom by making a bunch of horizontal cuts with the circular saw and then cleaning them out with a chisel.
I live in Southern California and during the next earthquake I plan on hiding in there.
I had to redo the drawer twice before it worked right.
This when I first put that shelf in.
I have added lights under the shelf, moved the sprinkler timer, and added pegboard to the back wall and this is what it looks like now.
