Turn a tiny, unorganized closet into a beautiful built-in file cabinet and display cabinet. This closet is in our home office, and it was nothing more than junk storage. We now have five sturdy shelves for books, two large file cabinet drawers and one smaller drawer for miscellaneous office supplies. Every closet has different dimensions, so exact part dimensions are not included, but you can take the concept and construction techniques from this closet build and apply it to your own.

Not having tools stored close by where they’re most commonly used results in a lot of wasted time. This has been especially true for my table saw accessories.

This three tiered planter stand project is great for kitchen countertops or balconies. It’s small footprint and folding capabilities allow for easy storage when not in use. The stand is made entirely from African Mahogany which is naturally resistant decay and infestations. Each of the three boxes uses less than three feet of lumber with a dado near the bottom to accept the ¼” piece of the same species. Joined together with box joints that will ensure strength and integrity for years to come. A nice coat of Tung oil brings out the grain pattern and gives the mahogany a rich natural hue as well as protect it from the harsh seasonal elements.
