It's been on my list to build a planter in the back yard for a while
Yesterday the wife wanted to 'knock it out' in the afternoon. Yea, it's a little more complicated than that...  _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |

Probably the back filled dirt - they look like 8x16x4 stood up on end.

This seemed like a better use for them Still need to bring the pressure washer over and clean them up then get some good dirt to plant in _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |

In my experience EVERY wife project is considerably more complicated than they think. It’s like they expect you to magically pull it out of your ass at short notice.

She saw a small corner coffee bar on Pinterest. That shit is the devil! Next thing I know, I have a bar the width of my dining room. _________________ Looking for: S&W Schofield 2x (.38/357) Coonan 1911 Nemo Omen JM Marlin 39M Tikka T3 Tactical(.308) BAR(.308) |

Made a planter for the wife this weekend. I got a miter saw and table saw so I was inspired. I could have made it with just my circular saw , but these two tools are game-changers. graffwoodshop.com was my inspiration.

Awhile back, my wife asked me to build something for an auction at her favorite charity. So I knocked this together, and haven’t seen it since
