DIY

Meet “Blasti,” a man with a mission to A) Destroy “dad rock” and B) Make the world a better place by creating a certified charitable, all age, DIY, punk rock, ethos, donation based, no alcohol venue, where no one is turned away for lack of money. This venue invites comedians, circus performers, drag queens, poets, and artists of all kinds to many other artists to share their talent, while encouraging guests to make their own art from a provided treasure trove of “never new unless necessary” art supplies which have been gently used and donated directly to the venue.

There comes a point in time where you just say enough is enough and need to make a change. That is exactly what happened to me over Memorial Day weekend. My wife and I were tired of looking at our dark cabinets. I know... I know... "but they're cherry cabinets"...

The lack of pots at my house had me on a mission this past weekend. I needed a place to put some of my plants, so I went out and bought some cedar to make a planter box! My initial mission for this box was to plant my hot peppers in it. The box came out to 35 inches wide by 10 inches deep and 17 inches tall...

I have been battling what I wanted to do with some of the knots in the tabletop over the past few weeks. Some have cracks and other have voids that look unsightly. Filling them with epoxy was one option, but I wanted something unique and eye catching...

Habajeeba came and went on Friday. It was a great show, but after the show I was looking forward to the weekend the most to get to work on my table. The table is nearing the completion of the build and I can feel it coming together more than ever before...

Sunday was a busy day in the garage. Nice weather and motivation to do some work fueled the completion of one end of the table's bread boards. This is a whole new realm of woodworking for me. Routing the four table top boards to allow for expansion across the grain for seasonal changes...

A lot of things happened this year. From concerts, lighting chasing, DIY'ing to buying a house. One thing that we all need to know and accept is that you never stop learning. Some things you learn because you want to and others because you have to...

The other night I started on another project. I am not going to say what it is just yet, I need to finish it and present it before I can reveal what it is for. I will say that this is a very special project. The wood I have chosen to use is Purpleheart and Hard Maple...

Over the weekend I put in some overtime in the garage. I didn't punch a time card, but I believe that I was in there on Friday for 5 hours, Saturday for 4 hours and on Sunday for well over 8.  Building a table out of rough sawn lumber is quite the task, let me tell ya...

I have a hard decision to make and I need your help to figure out which way I should go. I am very close to nearing the final stages of the legs on my harvest table build, but I cannot make a decision on which design to use. So your help would be greatly appreciated...

I have been working on this massive table for a few months now. Mostly here and there when I have some free time to do so. Over the past month, the project has pretty much sat dormant in my garage as life tends to get in the way of projects sometimes...
