This isn’t an actual ice box – as in one that would serve as a refrigerator to keep your non-gmo, gluten free wheat beer cool. It’s a replica – but still a very unique piece of furniture with a lot of unique characteristics. This particular replica is called Belwood Ice Boks…. and it’s definitely seen…

Kids and blocks – they stack them, throw them…. and sometimes eat them. So I wanted to make something myself. I started out with some basic raw wood. Some scrap wood from the shop, and other stuff is super cheap at the hardware store. I cut out the pieces and sizes of everything I wanted,…

One of my first restoration projects in a long, long, long time. I got a couple retro looking end tables, and later found a coffee table to match. The top of one of the end tables was very warped and curved. My solution was to cut the top right where the curve was causing…

One of my favorite restorations. Craigslist find for 10 bucks that was almost not worth it simply because of the terrible shape it was in. Three out of the 4 drawers were falling apart, the veneer on the bottom was frayed, and it was 2 seconds away from the dump. BUT – it had this…

This is one of those super basic, lightweight pine tables from Ikea. It was used as an actual dining table, then a garage worktop, then storage, then finally an arts/crafts table. It has seen a lot… and now it’s ready for a new life. I didn’t take any before pictures, but just imaging a beat…
