Handle openings are good additions to jigs in the shop, as they make it easier to transport and hang on a hook. They’re also useful on trays, totes and stools, plus you don’t have to spend extra money like you would if you added a machined handle or pull.

Probably too much viewing of Game of Thrones prompted me to name this concept a garden throne, but every queen or king of the garden deserves a special seat from which to survey their tiny realm. Or something like that.

This storage stool concept features a hand opening in the top, and a drop-down door opening on the side. I’d possibly add a friction hinge of some sort to the door of this were to become a plan.

A bench concept with a slight skew, literally, with the arm rests tilting inward at a 15-degree angle. It would be great for a courtyard, deck, or patio.

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.

Tending a raised bed while bent over or on the knees can be rough on anyone, so this concept is especially good for those with knee or back problems. At roughly 36 inches, it is close to the height of a countertop. The working area measures 24 inches by 24 inches.
