Plan of the Week: Camp Bench

The Chief’s Shop Camp Bench is perfect for use in sitting around a campfire, especially when you build several. The angles on the end allow three benches to fit together to create a semi-circle. And of course, one works just fine on its own. Miter saw, jig saw, drill/driver and Kreg Jig® are all you need to build it.

Plan of the Week: Garden Stool

The Chief’s Shop Garden Stool - use it as a seat or as a step up when working in the garden. The shelf offers a bit of storage for tools and supplies. And when you’re done working, you can also use it as a side table or an ottoman to prop up your feet. Miter saw, jig saw, drill/driver and Kreg Jig® are all you need to build it.

Plan of the Week: Adirondack-Style Rocker

The Chief’s Shop Work Adirondack-Style Rocker was a Viewers’ Choice Sketch of the Day last December and proved to be popular as a sketch. It’s a bit more complicated than most Plans of the Week, so be prepared for it to take a bit longer. You’ll need a table saw, miter saw, jig saw, drill/driver and the Kreg Jig® to build it.

Plan of the Week: Work Stool/Tote

My favorite projects to create are those with more than one purpose. The Chief’s Shop Work Stool/Tote combines a stool (for seating and a leg up when working on a project), an emergency workbench, and a tote. It’s a super-quick project designed to built using a miter saw, jig saw, drill/driver and the Kreg Jig®.

Plan of the Week: Garden Side Table

The Chief’s Shop Garden Side Table can be used as table between chairs in the garden/yard, or on a deck or patio. It could even work as a side table for a grill. A miter saw, jig saw, drill/driver, Kreg Jig, a few 2x4s are all you need to build it.

Plan of the Week: Firepit Bench

For the Chief’s Shop Firepit Bench project I created a unique look and assembly method for the legs and a slightly different way of adding end rails. It’s primarily assembled using a Kreg Jig and can easily be knocked out in an afternoon. I designed it as a two-person bench to go around a firepit (hence the name), but you could customize the length and place it anywhere.  A miter saw, drill/driver, Kreg Jig, a 2×6 and some 2x4s are all you need to build it.

Plan of the Week: Pyramid Planter

This attractive raised planter can become an artistic focal point for your yard, or simply serve as a functional vegetable bed. The Chief’s Shop Pyramid Planter is designed so it can be built using a Kreg Jig® or deck screws. Also on the plan page (and below) is a video on how to create large arcs, which are part of the design of this project.

Plan of the Week: Shutter Headboard

The Chief’s Shop Shutter Headboard is made by marrying upcycled old window shutters with new lumber to create a completely new piece. The shutters have been kept in their found condition to add a bit of rustic charm, and the entire piece is attached to the wall via a French cleat.

You’ll need a table saw (for creating the French cleat), miter saw, jigsaw, and drill to complete this project.
