Monday motivation is 100% Installing the doors and Monday motivation is 100% Installing the doors and hardware in the laundry room base cabinets! I was so excited to get to this point, and even more excited to share how it came together. Sometimes there is an idea in your mind that you see so clearly, and sometimes it comes together just as it should! Sometimes it doesn’t, and sometimes like this, it’s better than I imagined! What do y’all think?? The last step on these will be @rubiomonocoatusa white over the current Fumed Oak. Stay tuned for that soon! This little small but might @boschtoolsna 12V FlexiClick is a beautiful tool. Perfect for installs, small spaces and tight areas! More to come on it soon, but I’m obsessed! One tool that does a whole lot of things!

Weekend project- repair all the back fence. With j Weekend project- repair all the back fence. With just shy of 3 acres, it can be super intimidating to maintain not only the property but the small things that seem to constantly be popping up. Thankfully, this metal fencing was both easy to repair using my @crescent_tool Nippers! We had quite a bit of damaged areas and it worked excellent on both removing the old and rusted material and also cutting the new material too. Always impressed by Crescent’s range of awesome tools! What are y’all up to this weekend?! Any projects? As a @crescent_tool Partner I am able to test and share their new and existing tools with you guys. A huge thank you to the Crescent Team for the support! #creacentpartner #crescent2020 #crescenttools ⁣#fence #fieldfence #wirefence #farmhouse #propertymaintenance #farmgirl #ranchlife #outdoorlife #protools #renovation #diy #outdoordesign #tools #greatoutdoors #toolsofthetrade #texasgirl #home #outdoor #design #cuttingtools #texasforever #outdooradventure #nippers #texasweather
Cutting these miters for the oak counters is a bre Cutting these miters for the oak counters is a breeze with a good track saw and a basic square. My best advice on more complex cuts - check it, check it twice and then check it one more time to make sure you’re gold- and pray! What do y’all do to ensure those one chance cuts turn out perfect? The @boschtoolsna Track Saw is always a pleasure to use, especially when you really can’t afford any mistakes. I’ve had this saw since it launched and it’s nothing short of a beautiful saw! @crescent_tool Shockforce tape is still a beauty! #bosch #boschtools ⁣#tracksaw #makers #carpenter #diy #oak #carpentry #handcrafted #custom #woodworkingforall #woodworkersofinstagram #woodworkingskills #woodworkingcommunity #woodworkinglove #makersofinstagram #woodworkingshop #woodworking #woodworkingtool #makersgonnamake #maker #woodworkingproject #woodwork #finewoodworking #woodworkingtools #handmade #woodworkersofig #makersofig #woodcraft #woodworker
These white oak counters are almost to the finish These white oak counters are almost to the finish line! I mentioned I glued these up in several phases. A huge part of that is that when we get to the final glue up, the full glue up has only one glue seam to contend with. With a combination of my planer and the drum sander, tackling them this way saves a whole lot of time! I use a carbide scraper from @brand_tools to remove the bulk, and finish the clean up with my card scraper prior to sanding. Do y’all glue up in phases too? ⁣ @dfmtoolworks #woodworkingforall #wood #makersmovement #homedecor #easydiy #woodworking #diyhome #woodwork #woodworkersofinstagram #maker #homedesign #construction #makersgonnamake #woodworkingcommunity #woodworker #homeimprovement #carpentry #woodworkinglove #woodworkingtools #woodworkingskills #womenwoodworkersofig #woodworkersofig #woodworkingshop #diy
First half of these counters is finally glued up! First half of these counters is finally glued up! I could preach about different glue up tips- but really the success of these all comes down to the prep. I spent the bulk of the morning milling down this oak for these counters, but it’ll be well worth it! I often glue up in phases, which again takes time but it’s worth it! Plus- it allows me to plane these pieces again prior to the final glue up- meaning I usually am able to get a super clean finish! So- do y’all have glue up tips you swear by? Steps I took- rough cut down to length needed. Jointed- cut into dimensions on my table saw - using my @freud_tools Industrial Ripping Blade - this is a drool worthy mention! And then planed these slightly for uniform thickness. I’ll plane again before the final glue up too. I love these @besseytools_na for smaller glue ups, and use their Revos for the larger ones! ⁣ #carpentry #woodworkingtips #womenwoodworkersofig #woodworkinglove #woodwork #woodworkingshop #dowoodworking #renovation #woodworkingtools #woodworkersofinstagram #design #woodworkers #modernmakers #makersofinstagram #makerlife #cabinetry #customwoodwork #customcabinets #woodworking #woodworkingproject #woodworkingskills #interiordesign #customcabinetry #homedecor #customwoodworking #woodworkerofinsta #oak #counters #butcherblock
September 11th, 2001- a day that will live in our September 11th, 2001- a day that will live in our minds and hearts forever. I will never forget where I was- a sophomore in High School and walking into 2nd period- chemistry, as we all heard the news. This was well before the days of cell phones everywhere, so news traveled differently. I know I hugged my parents extra hard that night and prayed we would never see this type of evil again. I will never forget the lives lost and the incredible sacrifices made during that days following. Last year, I was able to participate in the #makersneverforget challenge that my friend Bill, @williampatrickcustoms started. I chose to honor a local Fire Station by creating this flag. Firefighters are near and dear to my heart as my Dad was a volunteer firefighter for many years, and then became a volunteer EMT. When you see those you love voluntarily run into burning buildings for no other reason than to help others. You gain a beautiful appreciation for their service and bravery as well as the overall fragility of life. As we reflect on September 11th, I hope you’ll join me in participating in the challenge this year! Hero’s come in all forms- from your delivery drivers, to first responders, doctors, nurses, and so many more! As today is the official start- we look to thank the hero’s in our life for their dedication. What is Makers Never Forget? Simply put- “Makers Never Forget is a collaborative initiative to create and recognize the individuals who make a difference in our community” Please join us in participating, sharing, tagging other makers, artists, Designers. Grateful to be a part of the organizing team this year- with @williampatrickcustoms @hubbell_woodshop @furniturebypete @makersneverforget #makersneverforget #makersofig #makersofinstagram #craft #art #artistsofinstagram #trades #thankful #gratitude #essentialworkers #thinredline #firefighters #emt #heros #hometownheroes #hometownhero #woodworkersofig #woodworkersofinstagram #texas #heros #woodshop #woodflag #flag #oldglory
