  • Outdoor Bench

    I needed a bench. I had some scraps. I now have a bench. Super simple build for some pleasant outdoor reading! I’ve been thinking about this one for a while. I like to sit outside with the dogs and play fetch and such, but the porch is a little too low for me to sit…

  • Stream of Consciousness Poetry

    Yesterday I tweeted about this poem that just sort of happened out of my fingers. I was listening to a podcast, working on some code, and I turned on my camera just to capture some “coder at work” type footage. No idea why I thought this footage would be useful… but regardless, at some point,…

  • The Daily Shed is Here!

    The show has started. It’s called the Daily Shed and the first episode is live on YouTube. I’m excited for the future of this project and I hope you’ll join me. The show has it’s own website – thedailyshed.com – so I won’t be sharing each video here. If you want to follow along, subscribe…

    Recently, I’ve found myself in need of a large baby gate. Specifically, a baby gate that would stretch the width of my garage door. Everybody needs a baby gate in their shop full of dirt, dust, and power tools, right? Extreme daddy day care? Well, somewhat like that… but not with actual babies. YouTube –…

  • What is Depression?

    Depression is a disease… ailment… an infliction. It is an extremely personal experience and though some symptoms may be present in many different forms of depression… mostly, it’s extremely difficult to explain or understand. I’ve dealt with it one way or another my whole life. It’s a subject that I don’t hide and I openly…

  • DIY Push Block

    If you work with power tools, safety is important. A push block is a safety tool I should have had already, but… well… I have no excuse. Cutting rabbets and dadoes on a table saw or router is dangerous. So, let’s make a push block. Sure, they are super cheap to buy, but free is…
