Homemade Furniture

This past summer I took a stab at trying to make some furniture. It had been a very long time since I had built anything in terms of furniture. I had built an entertainment center, but that didn't really require too much wood work.

Our deck is rather spacious, and felt rather empty for us, so we played around with some design schemes, and decided we were going to make an outdoor living room area, so the sofa was the going to be the first piece to that. I found plans online at ana-white.com, which by the way is a great place to find furniture plans. the plans I used were for the Simple Outdoor Sofa. My cousin Nathan was here to help me do the cuts, and then over the next few months (yes, months, sometimes it takes me a while to finish things, but hey, I did) I put it together, and then applied a grey stain to have it match our chairs that we have in our outdoor dining set.

One of my sons trying it out before we finished it.

Antonio's Nightstand

This year for Antonio's birthday I decided to give him a nightstand. But instead of just buying one, we decided to design and then build him one that he can hang on the wall up on the top bunk of his bed.

So I started out with a simple sketch, and then bought a piece of 1"x 6" x 6' pine.

The plain, uncut board was waiting for him with a bow on top in the living room among his other presents. He didn't know what to make of it when he saw it. Then he realized that it was somehow his present. His first guess was a diving board. When he found out that the wood was for him and I to make a nightstand together he got really excited.

 We made all the cuts, and put it together, using my Kreg Jig to make some of the joins as pocket holes.

Then we stained and sealed the wood, and finally hung it on the wall next to the top bunk of his bed.
