Convertible Picnic Bench

Convertible Picnic Bench

Intended for the concrete patio at the beach-house. When we had a bench, it was nice, but there's just not enough room out on that patio. Hoping this will solve the problem. All materials to be beach-friendly: cedar lumber, stainless steel hardware.

Compost Bin

Compost Bin

There are several benefits to building this project: create quality nutrition-soil for the garden, eliminate bio-mass pile more quickly, it's fun. As of Oct-2019, I was just 1-2 weekends away from starting this project, but then a few things piled up and this is pushed out. I'm hoping to get to this sometime in 2020.

Saw-Horses

Compost Bin

From my childhood, I remember dad having 2 saw-horses for the garage. Somehow, I "received" them for my garage (maybe when I moved up to Oregon?) I left them out in the rain for a few years, holding up my "parts bench" for boat-parts (during the engine overhaul) and they got shakey (wood rot). Then they downright fell apart ... so it's time to build some new ones ... since they really do come in handy. This is what I've got planned, inspired by this.

Future Projects

Couch table: except I'd build my own, not buy something pre-fab'd.

This looks like a good idea: garage storage
