Noah B Woodworks

I’ve been scheming on the future over the last few days. My daughter will be in preschool later this year and my wife will be going back to work in the summer, so I’m going to have a decent amount of free time on my hands during the week days. I get off work at noon every day so from 11:30am to 3:00pm I’ll have time to progress woodworking.

I’ll be looking to create something sort of lame, but also sort of cool. I’m going to start building planter boxes from cheap materials. I’ll be attempting to sell these on Facebook Marketplace. I went to Home Depot yesterday to purchase a compressor and some other miscellaneous items. I got the compressor for my brad nailer which will make assembling planter boxes much faster. I’m using 1×8 material and 1×3 material pre cut to 4′ from home depot to make these boxes. It should be really straight forward. I’ll cut the pieces to length, apply some glue, pin nail them together, sand, apply some finish and they’ll be done.

I’m also looking to make some outdoor furniture for our patio space. I watched a video yesterday and got some inspiration for them. The video had a quick link to some nice cushions on Amazon. In my head, finding nice cushions was the largest hurdle for this project. I’m looking at maybe purchasing a pocket hole jig system to build these as well. Being able to pin nail, and do pocket holes should greatly increase the capabilities of my shop to build furniture faster.

Before making the outdoor patio furniture, I’ll need a place to put my two kayaks. So to fix that problem I’m looking to make a rack in the near future that will hold them. I’ll possibly be getting some construction lumber to build these with, and it should be straight forward. I’ll be butting this rack up against our fence and if I take my time, it should be very durable and not take away from the overall look of our back yard. Lots of things coming and if I can knock these projects out before April or June I’ll be in really good shape.
