I just finished up on a shuffleboard for my camp. All I have left are the legs and bracing. I am waiting on some rough cut cypress for that.

Nice.

Do you have the specs for this? I'd love to build me one.

Holy shite. That's damn fine right there.

How long did that take you to build?

You could make some money selling something like that.

The playing surface is 30in x 10ft. I made it to fit the area in the camp. I have all the specs on a drawing I can post tomorrow at my office computer. It took me about 4 weeks to build it, but I put it off of for a while to do other things. If I did it again I could get it done in 3-4 days. It's real easy to make and it only cost about $500.00 in material.

I'm not much of a handyman, but I built this with my son for a couple of my snakes. The backgrounds and waterfall are made of styrofoam - cut, coated, and painted.

That's really cooling looking except for the snake part...

I really like that bed man. Might have to add something like that yo my looking list of future projects.

I just built this the past few days.just need to stain it. Was meant to be a toy chest, but the mother decided she wanted it the size of a nightstand. No idea why...lol

Even more impressive you did that in a garage and not even a shop setup for this kind of stuff.

Mainly used a router, bandsaw, and hand planes. It's all mortise and tenon.

The boards on the face of the headboard are ship lapped and they fit into a rabbit on either post. It really looks harder than it was. The only real hard thing was getting the pattern for the curve right and glue up on the headboard. My wife and son had to help on glue up. Mainly because it's so big. It's 80" tall in the center.

Built this 8 x 16 shed by myself. Next time I'm going to get some buddies to help out--nearly wrecked my back in the process.
