I bought a used tripod and saved myself $70 off the new price, but it didn’t come with a mounting plate to go in the head of the tripod. It was a pretty easy fix really, just took a chunk of chechen wood and a 1/4×20 bolt to build my own. Music by Hope; _______________ Notable Materials: > Tripod > …

Everything is fastened from the underside, or the inside …

The main frame of the box is just a scrap piece of 3/4″ plywood that was approximately 2’x4′. The top and bottom of the box is just 1/4″ luan plywood. Internal is carved from FastCap’s Kaizen Foam. Hardware was salvaged off pieces in the trash. Handle was salvaged from an old fire hose my landlord was saving, I assume just …
Lumber Racks: Conduit (and reclaimed roof rack)
This is a very similar setup to my last shop except these are only 2 bays tall and twice as wide. The roof rack bar version of this was cut down and reused. The conduit version was built to fit the new space. It’s not all that revolutionary, but I thought it would be interesting to show how I attach …
French Cleat Shop Storage Wall & Loft
In my shop there is a small area I share with other tenants with some food storage and a fridge and microwave, so I decided to close it off to keep the dust out and add a bunch of wall and loft storage space. The frame is all 2×4 construction, fastened together with 3″ deck screws (because I had an …

Screw Tote (REMIX) #remixphilsvid
A buddy of mine from the Reclaimed Audio Podcast (available on your favorite podcast app) recently posted a 5 hour long demo on how to build a reclaimed screw tote (actaully closer to 17 minutes, but who’s counting). Tim Sway re-edited the video down to 10 minutes because he “has the attention span of a gerbil”. Well I have the …

The Facet Table
Don’t worry my irritable devotees, full build video forthcoming! There were too many worthy adversaries in the challenge that I didn’t make the cut. That’s good news for you though, here is the teaser for your viewing pleasure, young chap. The cabinet is made from 3/4″ poplar plywood with 1/4″ oak plywood on the back. The drawers use the same …
Puppet On A Stick
I decided to make a cheap wood puppet on a stick… because I can. My friend lives in Canada so I don’t get to see him much and we needed to be able to tell each other jokes much more often so this was the obvious solution. Notable Materials: Print-out of your favorite face 1/4″ plywood the size of …
