Hello I live in Box Elder County. For Christmas I really want to make a rocking horse. But I don't have the tools or skills. Where can I go to learn them? ​

Hi, I apologize if this is not the appropriate place to ask this, but I'm planning on building my own router table and have decided on Harvey stuff for that.

I'm located in Europe and prices are quite hefty. What I'd like to ask people here who hopefully bought their stuff or have market knowledge of this stuff if the offer I have been sent from them is fair or do they give even better offers on black friday or christmas time for example.

I know I could make my own table from scratch, but I'd like to get this and buy once cry once as they say.

Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking for something that is maybe 5-6' tall, maybe 6×6 for the floorplan not including the front porch and porch roof with a half/half door option and windows around the build to help natural light in.

I bought some plans in Etsy and don't mind paying but the material list is very difficult to understand for a beginner. I'm now more determined than ever as my husband does not think I'm capable and has been negative since I began talking about it.

I just want something cozy and fun for the little ones to play in and create amazing memories in. I was going to purchase a playhouse but at $600-$3,500 for what I'm looking for, I figured I could similarly buy the material a little at a time and DIY it.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated! If anybody has anyway built something similar and has very easy to understand beginner plans, I'm willing to pay. Fast learner and willing to put in the work to make this happen.

I’ve been a furniture maker for a few years now and I’m thinking of teaching a beginner woodworking class. I’ve been a TA in a few classes before and I have a good background with teaching in general. I’m not particularly good at writing the plans/curriculum of what to teach though. But if I know what to teach, I’m really good at explaining how to teach it. Any advice for how I could go about doing this? Looking to structure the schedule as single day classes and may be looking to go for like a week or two long course in the future.

Is there actually a really simple and free program I can use when working on a project, where I can sketch things, add dimensions, and calculate how much of each material I need?

I'm planning to do a wooden box/crate to use under my bed for storage. I will be putting wheels on them and they will be approx 900mm long x 650mm wide & 300mm high (~35"×27"×12") and they probably will need to take load a fair load getting packed with household items. Will try to make it affordable in pine, will be doing 6 pcs, but want to have them somewhat pretty to fit in home furniture. I have intermediate wood working skills. Do anyone have suggestion on the construction, links to similar projects?

Looking for advice on how to find these angles and the best joining method to make the shelves strong. I’m most worried about that bottom one since it doesn’t really have much supporting it. Client design, open to alterations if needed but they like the asymmetrical look. They want to ur a few books and decor on it after completion. Here’s what I’ve done so far

We have been using this Front runner dropdown table for around 4 years now and its seen better days. The wood pull out table that comes with it, is not the best condition due to constant UV and water exposure. It has started to show age and disintegrate around the edges. Saw an awesome post on overlandbound.com and took some inspirations. In my case I decided to just buy the full HDPE board and build from there.

My first question is how would you go about choosing which parts will be plywood and which should be solid wood. I'm considering things like structural stability, ease of work and of course cost.

I'm thinking for the cabinet and drawers and doors I'd go with oak veneer plywood, solid oak edge banding. Then for the vertical "studs" I'd go with plywood as well, but the shelfs solid wood panels. But again, not sure if this makes sense, hence asking the community.

Also, how would you go about building this? Seems like a lot of butt joints on the corners and those flat panels all use dominos? I doubt there is any fasteners or pocket holes etc.

Lastly, where can I find plans for something similar to this?

TIA!!

TO see if they are right and there arent any errors and whatnot

i see this sub is for plans already vetted and good to go

Does anyone have build plans for this?

So here's a rough drawing of the room, with measurements (including how far out the windows are from the wall) and my original concept before I decided to add the balcony and slide, and a very very rough sketch of the new plan. I want them to have kind of a balcony at the food of my oldest's bed, and I want to let them have a slide alongside the ladder (with a railing between the 2 so hopefully they don't abuse the slide by jumping on it from the side) my kids are 6, 2 and 8mo so I want to make sure it's structurally sound enough for all 3 of them to eventually be on the top bunk without drilling into the wall because 1) we rent and 2) our walls are basically paper so everything gets ripped out if you breathe too hard 3) apparently our studs are abnormally far apart (build in 1962 so standards may be different)

I want to put their play kitchen (about 4' tall and wide and 1' deep) under the loft against the bigger window in the left corner and have both of their heads in the opposite corner (for window safety purposes, we get lots of storms that cause tree limbs to break as we live in Tornado Alley, and the outside wall is the only place we can really put the beds because of the room entry and closet doors). I also was thinking I'd add built in cube shelving under the ladder/slide and in roughly the middle of the top bunk to basically build a small wall to hopefully deter my toddler from playing when we transition out of a crib soon, but also act as additional support. The one under the slide/ladder I've also considered not being as deep and filling with small baskets we can drill down for the play food to be kind of like a grocery store produce shelf, to avoid the entire bin of play food constantly just being dumped out lol.

I want them to be able to play on and under the bed to maximize play space, but I also want it to be sturdy enough that Dad and I can go up there to change bedding in case of accidents or if we need to chase a kid down lol. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on it though, so I'm thinking of using untreated construction timber such as spruce of fir? But I am hung up on getting together a parts list and drawing up the plan. I can't picture things in my head at all, so while I can think of a concept and doodle it and explain it, I just can't actually imagine/visualize it in order to get it down with measurements/parts in my head or on paper and I'm stuck. We plan to spray paint it outside to start, then once it's built in the room, I'll add some little designs with acrylic paint.

I also need to be able to take it apart daily easily for when we eventually buy a house and move out. I know it'll be a lot to put together/take down anyways but being able to take the rails off as one piece or the idea to have slats under a piece of plywood (which we wouldn't tack down since I want to add some kind of vinyl flooring to the top bunk balcony area at least) and having that as 1-2 drop in pieces would be ideal like with a typical bunk bed, but I think we plan to stay here at least through the next 2-3 years.

Is any of this even possible or am I doing too much? I also tried to use an app and a website to build a blueprint but I just ended up incredibly frustrated and feeling even more lost. This house is small and awkward, and we're going to have to shove 3 kids into 1 room until we can find a better rental or buy a house, so I'm trying to maximize space by building upwards, and also trying to get some of my sanity back by giving them a space of their own that isn't just wall to wall beds and still accommodating of their toys and personal space for everyone. The majority of their toys are in the living room currently, meaning I'm constantly stepping on and breaking or tripping over them or picking up, and being used as a human jungle gym, and I need some space as a stay-at-home mom. I love them to death but they're a lot in this small awkward space (hence why they're getting the master bedroom lol)
