It better not.

Probably would have gone faster had I used one.

I plan on building one of those to go with my set up. I hope it comes out half that good. I have plans to get into all sorts of wood projects, double nights stands for the bedroom and things like that. Baby steps though.

Found 40' of stainless pipe on some property I bought and built this out of it. I use it to scrape the belly of my mower. But mostly it holds a baby swing for my 11 month old.

Would love to do it. Just let me know.

Chairs can get ridiculously expensive. The first batch my wife picked out were $260 each. After much begging, I think she found some on overstock for like $120. Then I had to sand down the legs and stain to match the table. I was fine with that lol.

Has anyone ever converted one of their regular sheetrock interior walls into a stone accent wall?

In the early stages of research, may try it, may not. Looks like most places are suggesting installing 1/2" cement board and then applying the stone/rock sections to that.

Would I be able to install these cement boards over my current sheetrock wall, or would I need to remove the sheetrock and install the cement boards directly to the studs?

Pop, this would go good with a farm table. Can be stained to match. All you need is two end chairs.

Buy a stud finder first. Mark all studs and screw your cement backer board over the sheetrock. Watch were there are plugs. Wires will be running thru studs below those areas. Same for light switches and water/gas lines.

Can you please give more info on how to apply grout and a little bit about the process? My son wants to make something similar.

That is awesome, I really want a outdoor fireplace/pizza oven. I am a big fan of traditional brick, did you paint it out of personal preference or does the paint serve a function?

It's a mortar "slurry" to match the house and it hides my terrible masonry work.

Built this for a friend of my daughter's mom. It was her younger brother who passed away bed frame. I made it into a bench for her. I had to do a good bit of work to get it right.
