DIY Plant Bench from Timber Offcuts | Easy Step-by-Step Guide
I made a super simple bench using timber offcuts from a previous deck project. This DIY project is perfect for garden enthusiasts looking to add a personal touch to their outdoor space. This outdoor DIY plant stand can also be used as a sitting bench.
This is a very quick project which I did in one afternoon.
Excuse the mess, I am going for a natural rustic look in my backyard! Once I have made more benches and stands, the area will look nicer.

Building a floating deck in my backyard | No concrete needed
มุมมอง 2.2Kปีที่แล้ว
I built this deck as a base for my shed in the backyard. The quotes to get this built by pros were a bit too high for its intended use, so I decided to build my own floating deck instead. The joists & decking are treated pine and I used Tuffblock instant foundation system which meant I didn't have to dig holes and pour concrete. Experienced deck builders would probably spot some flaws with it (...

Razor sharp plane blades & chisels with minimum spending!
มุมมอง 1.1Kปีที่แล้ว
I'm showing how I get my chisels and plane blades razor-sharp using cheap diamond stones and a leather strop with green polishing compound. I prefer this setup compared to water stones and sandpaper which are pretty messy. Diamond stones don't require flattening and they last a pretty long time. The ease of my sharpening setup means I can focus more on my hand tools woodworking and less fiddlin...
