Our town wanted to put a Little Free Library station at the door to the town hall, and I volunteered to build it.

<p>The basic construction is fairly straightforward, using about one sheet of plywood, plus a piece of recycled oak and some leftover redwood. All will get sealed. The hinges are outside-entry-door, powder coated for weatherproofing.</p>

After two years of building cat trees on the floor of my garage, I finally took a time out to build myself a work bench! I used the Kreg plan but with a few modifications: taller height, more cross braces, and wheels for easy maneuvering around the garage. I used basic 2x4s, and MDF for the shelf and top. I love this bench!!
