Sketch of the Day: Fire Pit Stool #woodworking


Here is another fire pit stool concept similar to the one from yesterday. I’m creating several of these and allowing my oldest son to pick one he wants. He doesn’t know it yet, but he gets to build the one he selects.

Sketch of the Day: Sunset Chair


A chair to, well, enjoy the sunset. It features a very relaxed angle and is extra wide.

Sketch of the Day: Outdoor Ottoman


Yes, it looks like a coffee table or a bench, but this concept is meant to be a large ottoman for yesterday’s outdoor sofa. It’s a bit taller than either a coffee table or bench, but just right the right height for propping up your feet when sitting on the sofa.

Sketch of the Day: Outdoor Dining Benches


I came up with this design while thinking of some ideas to use scrap 4 x 4 , 2 x 6, and 2 x 4 I’ll have left over from a project I’m working on now. Both sizes here would work well as seats for outdoor dining.
