DiResta Carolina Cutting Board Inlay

https://ift.tt/UBC3zM6 In this video, I try 2 different methods to create an inlay on a cutting board, in the first half of the video I use Total Boat resin poured to the cnc cavity. In the second half I do a traditional inlay with a piece of walnut into a piece of countertop that I bought at Home Depot. This a tried and proven technique using Vectric V-Carve software check out this video for more information https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4VMo9DCzO8&t=489s For me, the learning was about the inlay and not so much about the cutting boards, which is why I went out and bought a few different cutting boards to experiment with. for support and voiced over version check out https://ift.tt/GpNl9PV Thank you https://ift.tt/3QpAa57 http://www.titebond.com https://ift.tt/1znTv9c https://www.vectric.com

French Cleat Modular Closet System

Modular Closet Components

By using different organizers, you can create the closet of your dreams!  Here are the standard modular closet components.

All of the components are constructed with the same steps, the only difference is the length of the sides and the number of shelves.  Follow the construction steps below, but use the diagrams to come up with your cut list.

Recommended Materials for Modular Closet Carcasses

You can use a variety of different materials to build your closet components.  As shown, I used 3/4" hardwood plywood, ripped to 11-1/4" wide, with the front edges finished with an iron on edge banding.  All cuts then are just cross cuts as shown in the component diagrams.

• 1x12 Whitewood Boards
• 3/4" plywood, ripped into desired width (not greater than 16") and front edges edge banded
• 12" or 14" prefinished closet shelving boards

Rip Width for Carcass Pieces (if using plywood)

I ripped my closet pieces to 11-1/4" (same as 1x12) and constructed (as shown).  

However, this is not a deep shelf, and may not be suitable for folding tall pants.  For a larger person using the closet consider a 14" or 16" plywood rip.  Do not go over 16" - as this will become very heavy for this type of hanging.

Farmhouse Bed - Updated Plan in All Mattress Sizes

Reader submitted photo by Forgot the Way

If you are going to build anything for your home, it should be the beds.  Beds are easy and forgiving to build, and you can save hundreds, if not thousands, by doing it yourself.  I think you'll get a sturdier, more beautiful bed too!

My first project was a farmhouse bed.  Over many years of building beds, I wanted to revisit this classic design and update it to be even easier to build.

Build Video

This bed is very similar to our Rustic Modern Farmhouse Bed in build steps, please watch this video for a general idea of the steps to build this bed:

DiResta Recycled Bulleit Bar

In this woodworking project video, I create a bar and two tables from old vintage doors that I had in storage. These doors were once used in my 100 year old farm house. I also use some of the ori material left over from the restoration of the porch in the front of my house. Bulleit asked me to create furniture for an activation using all recycled materials. We also visit the local junk yard for some sheet metal! Thank you! https://www.bulleit.com https://ift.tt/3IZxyRS https://ift.tt/1DjXI7b http://www.titebond.com http://carolinashoe.com

Rustic Modern Farmhouse Bed (All Mattress Sizes)

This is one of the most beautiful beds I've ever made.

Rustic wood paired with a modern form updates the farmhouse bed into a beautiful and functional focal point to your bedroom.

This plan covers all mattress sizes, the bed I built for reference is a standard king.

More Photos and Quick Build Video

Would you like to see more photos and the quick build?  Here's the build video:

Plan Notes:

• Mattress depth - This headboard works well with a 10" or deeper mattress.  For a shorter mattress, an open gap below the headboard panel may be visible.  You can also increase the length of the panel boards to account for this.
• Twin size - the twin size does not need the center support structure.
• Modifying to Traditional Farmhouse Bed - Plans coming soon
• Other materials for planking - yes, you can use just about any material instead of the 1x8 planking
