Make a gardening toolbox Customize it with a cool photo transfer Easy technique!

Spring is almost here! 


Since March first is tomorrow, this is my official "kicking off spring" project. Yeah, I know spring doesnt start for a few more weeks and I realize many of you are still under a mountain of snow, but why not start looking forward to the coming season? Building a springy-type project will get you in a thawing-out frame of mind!

This tool tote can be made to function as a toolbox or as a decorative piece. As I began building mine, I realized that I liked it better as a planter. I suppose its like building a workbench that is so nice to look at that you dont want to scratch it! 

However you wish to approach this, its a super-easy project you can make in a day. If you dont have a tablesaw, you can simplify it by eliminating the angled sides and cutting out all the pieces with a jigsaw. The dowel pins arent necessary: I added mine after the glued-up sides were dry, so they are mostly decorative.




Inkjet-to-wood photo transfer

The ink-transfer technique is a blast! If you dont build this toolbox, try out this image-to-wood transfer on something. Just print out any image on a sheet of label backing on your inkjet printer. I found my pictures on Google Images and printed them in reverse so the text was facing the right way. I also bumped up the color saturation a bit, but I love the faded look on wood!

Ideal Wood Working Plan Did You Find It

Hi there, Have you ever thought about paying for some wood working plans? You see free is not always good. On the other had, it can also be a life saver if what you are planing to build is a small computer desk or a single bench. But if your wood working project is beyond this, please read the rest of this article.

In this article, you will learn 3 locations where to find wood working plans of all kinds. It does not matter if you are building a 6 piece table and chair set or a rocking horse, everyone will benefit you.

#1 Amazon. Did you know that their are hundreds of books all dedicated to plans for making furniture drawn up by professional wood workers. The list is extensive and they offer fast delivery and some times you can get a downloadable version of the same product.

#2 eBay. eBay is another credible source to get plans. Just like Amazon, you will find books upon books for these stuff. It does not matter what plan you are searching for because I know they have something for you.

Let me ask you a question though: What are you trying to build? Are you looking to build that long overdue kitchen table or the back yard storage shed? You know the one you refuse to buy from those high price home DIY superstores. Im not mad at you because I know you can do it in a few hours.

I am also sure you are not along on this. Those same high ticketed back yard storage shed made out of wood can be assembled yourself. I know you are a do it your self kind of person and with a few friends and some good music that baby will be up in a couple of hours. Arent I right?

Seeing all your stuff all stored away in something build by your hands can be a thrilling feeling. Especially, when they are no longer all over your garage or in some place thats driving your significant other crazy.

Third and last place to find a wood working plan is over at wood working for home. I was amazed at the collection they had over there. I could access these wood working plans any time I wanted from any where in the world.

They are not the cheapest but the value and the accessibility sold me. I could download, print, all from my computer in less than 3 minuets.
