B is for Build Page

Im definitely not one to brag but I am super proud of all that Ive built for this little blog and I wanted to draw some attention my BUILD PAGE.  My buildy blogger friend Jen Woodhouse (House of Wood) and I were recently chatting about our past work and all the pieces weve built up until now and she thought "surely you must have well over 100".

So I counted.

140 different pieces on the build page.  I owe a huge nod to Ana White who designed a majority of the plans.  Simply click on the thumbnail image and the post should pop up.  All of the build posts include links to the plans or plans within the post.

Some of my favorites:

There are builds of all kinds: tables, beds, small gifts, consoles, planters, storage, and on and on.

Simply click the build page tab and you can scroll through all the thumbnail images.

Thank you to all my readers who consistently show support and interest, you keep me building!

T is for 3 Step Stool Giveaway

New plans and a giveaway makes for a great Saturday!

Were in the kitchen today building a 3 step stool and Im sharing the plans over at Ryobi Nation here.

And while youre there be sure to sign up (or sign in if you already have an account) in order to enter this awesome giveaway:

The generous folks at Ryobi Nation are giving away a 4 piece combo kit and the orbital jig saw to one lucky reader! 

I used the jig saw to make the stepped cuts and the arched cut out for the 3 step stool:

My preferred method to make straight cuts with the jig saw is to clamp down a straight edge making a fence for the saw to ride up against.  Above the wood has already been cut but you can see how having that straight edge clamped in place keeps control of the jig saw.

For all the plan details and to enter the giveaway click here.

Happy Building!
