Made my first picture frame. $30 10” miter saw from Craigslist, a $90 hitachi job site table saw from FB, a trim router, and a $100 thickness sander. The white oak came from a tree in our yard that was taken out in a storm. I made a skid for my table saw and milled the material out of a branch.

We built recessed shelves between the wall studs in an unusable pantry wall. The shelves use the free space between the wall studs and take up zero space, and they have the capacity to hold more than 100 cans. This simple project turned out way cooler than I was expecting!

I made these panel clamps to help me glue up large panels with easy. Their working principle is a little bit different than the usual panel clamps, as it does a double action, it tightens the panel and flattens it at the same time.
