While out hunting a friend of mine stumbled upon a log that had been chewed on either side by a pair of beavers. Thinking it was a bit unique he brought it home. Asked me if there was anything I could do with it (he planned on making it a door stop at his front door). So this is what I came up with. What do you think?

So for fun I bought two beat up 1995 Jet Skis, rebuilt the engines and refurbished the exteriors to mint condition. Man these things are fun! What do you think? How did I do?

Love it when subscribers tell me how my videos helped them make works of art. I was sent this today. Just fantastic! See note below.

Jon,
Good afternoon. I just wanted to personally say “thank you” for your YouTube videos. I used your template for a CMSgt that recently retired and everyone loved it. Thanks again for sharing your stuff! -Eric

Again my wife and Pinterest. She saw an artsy square entrance table but wanted specific dimensions to match her foyer space and it had to match her ceiling too. Yes, very art deco looking but I agree its kinda cool.

Wife wanted floating shelves on a brick wall. So I bought a butcher block and cut it into 6 pieces. Then traced out the shape of the brackets on the bottom and routed it out to hide them a bit better. Sanded and stained. Simple project that turned out great.

Crazy, While cleaning out my knife drawer, I noticed a piece of paper at the edge of the matting. I pulled the matting up to reveal this gem. Basically I have had this tool box since I was 14yrs old.

Moved in a new house and needed to add built in shelves to my new office. I stained some butcher block very dark to go on some prefabricated cabinets. Spent some time making the built in shelves to fit my space. All in all I think it turned out nice. What do you think for my first time building built in shelves?
