DIY Baby Change Station Light (Nap Time Woodworking)
When I became a dad two weeks ago I knew my workshop time would be put on the backburner while I spent quality time with my little girl in her nursery. However, as her main interests at the moment are napping, pooping and boobies (not necessarily in that order) I quickly found our new bedroom setup had a fatal flaw. When I try to change said poopy nappies my back blocks the light and I can't see the cute little tooshy well enough to ensure a sparkling clean butt-butt. So, during a 3-hour nap, I took inspiration from @graduallywizardly, the original nap time woodworker, and challenged myself to fix this problem the only way I know how... with bed slats and pocket holes :D

DIY S
diy-sliding-deck-dog-gate
My brother wanted a low sliding / rolling gate to stop the pet puppies getting up the side passage, but this design would work great on a deck or veranda too. Merbau decking is a great outdoor material and tough enough to withstand animal attention which lent itself well to this application. I used Kreg pocket hole joinery which allowed me to hide most of the hardware and using a guide box and rollers allowed for the gate to open all the way.
Trying something new and giving you a break from my over-complicated explanations this time, sit back and enjoy this easy, chilled out build you can knock out in a weekend.
If you'd like to like to give this a crack, there is now a full step-by-step Instructable guide with free plans, photos and tips to guide you through. https://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-Sliding-Deck-Dog-Gate/

WOODE
wooden-toy-box-football-game-part-1-3
I wanted to build a wooden toy box for my nephew for Christmas using free plans from WWMM. As I progressed the build I tarted it up a little by adding a tabletop football game as well.
In Part 1 I christen my new Kreg K4 pocket hole jig to build the main frame and work out how to use my Square-Cut jig to make perfectly equal length boards with a circular saw.

WOODE
wooden-toy-box-football-game-part-2-3
Having finished the Kreg pocket hole frame, I did a bunch of edge profiling with the router then cut the internal panels down to size. The real inspiration hit when I was building the lid for the toybox as I suddenly realised the top surface would be perfect for a tabletop football game, taking this project to the next level!

THE A
the-aussie-maker-meetup-2023
The 3rd Annual Australian Makers MeetUp was held in Melbourne on October 28th 2023. Hosted by @BuiltByChris and @DownUnderWoodWorks , nearly 30 makers descended on the Epping Hotel for a night of chat, drinks and a good feed. However, a smaller group of us also did a tour of several maker's workshops and had some side quests to explore @timbeconaus and even get a guided tour by the one and only @graduallywizardly !
I finally got to meet Mario @woodfather at his workshop, Ash from @themondaymeetup-raw3425 (better known as Woodwork and Whiskers on Insta) @kuffyswoodwork , Vipun Envisage Designs, Gav from North Wind, Longsplinter, @OzSawdustMakers, @barberspaddockwoodworking and hang out again with @2byforge, @woodworkingwithdassh and @SmallFryCreations. It was also tops to find two newer YouTubers Dave @MelbourneMaker and Kieran @kjh_woodworking whose channels I've now binged, as well as at least half a dozen other new Insta friends like Bespoke Carvings, Recycled Wooden Things and Ever_floret.
If you missed out this year, 2024 will likely be about the same time in Sydney. I hope to see you there!

modern-diy-balcony-planter-boxes-with
I made these basic pot plant boxes for my friends front deck as one of my first projects a few years ago. While they came out great and there are free plans available, the videos were long a chatty so didn't get much love. Here is an updated version with no talking, just some happy beats and saw blade sounds. Enjoy!
Free Plans for this Project are on my website here:

K4 VS
k4-vs-k5-kreg-pocket-hole-jigs-review
One of the first tools I bought when I started woodworking was the Kregjig K4 base system. A year on I was lucky enough to win a K5 Master System and now have had the chance to compare them and give you some feedback based on 12 months of novice experience.
If you're interested in a Kreg jig or other Kreg Gear and want to support the channel, I'll provide some Amazon links for the USA & International viewers. They don't cost you any more but do provide me with a small kickback.
In Australia, I am also an affiliate of Carbatec (https://www.carbatec.com.au/brands/kreg?aff=4). Using this link for your purchase tells them I sent you!

MODUL
modular-clamp-rack-(bar-kreg-band-c
A simple modular DIY clamp rack to fill the void I left for just this purpose when I built my workshop cabinets. I've made holders for my Irwin Quick Grip clamps, Kreg face clamps, band clamp, mini C clamps and small pinch clamps but this will work for F clamps and other bar clamp styles too. A great way to get more organised and free up some space on my pegboard for more tools. They are also made completely from scrap wood and scabbed free plywood.
Nothing very innovative and mostly based on Steve Ramsey's The Weekend Workshop Course (https://theweekendwoodworker.com) which I've just started and is great. I don't feel bad sharing this one as while great they are pretty generic and will need to be adapted to your space/clamps anyway. Plus, they are very similar to Steve's earlier clamp rack tutorial which you can find here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_vlA0crb4c
