This corner TV stand allows you to maximize the space in your living room while still acting as a functional piece of furniture with storage.

So where’s your TV? I’m not asking which room, but rather, where in the room is it located? Do you have a rectangular TV stand in a corner taking up lots of extra room?

There are a lot of TV stand options in the marketplace if you want to put your TV flat up against a wall or mount it on a wall. But there aren’t a lot of solutions out there if you want to put your TV in the corner of a room. And the ones that are out there are still pretty bulky. TV’s are slim and light nowadays, so you don’t need a big bulky stand to go with it. Plus, why buy when you can build?

So I thought I would design one that would look good in any room. Designing it for a corner really does free up a lot of floor space! 

When it’s freezing in the shop, there’s nothing better than coming into a hot bowl of chili. I’ve been working on my chili game for a while now, and I think I’ve finally come up with the winning concoction. It’s spicy, and a bit sweet. I promise you this will be the ultimate chili recipe that you will keep on hand for the rest of your life.

I’ve made this with and without ground beef, and it is hearty and filling, and when you omit the beef it is actually really really healthy! I mean, as long as you don’t overdo it on garlic bread, which is basically required with this chili.

Eyes, Ears, Mouth and Nose. Just because those words are at the end of the head and shoulder’s song, definitely doesn’t put them at the end of the list when it comes to working safely and dealing with fine wood dust. In fact, they should be the first! Eyes, Ears, Mouth and Nose. Mouth and Nose. Mouth and Nose.

As a relative newbie woodworker, I overlooked the importance of personal protective equipment. Sure, I always protected my eyes with safety glasses (because other than telling me not to cut my fingers off, this was the main concern that came from my mom) but I figured that I didn’t do enough woodworking for it to affect my hearing or lungs.

As much as I like to build larger furniture projects, I also like to work on smaller, less involved projects from time to time. It’s a nice break from the complexity of a big build. This is a quick and easy holiday project that anyone can tackle and is even a project you can get your kids involved in. It can be done with hand tools or power tools.

There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to fix or work around a stripped screw hole. This method can be used for fixing any stripped screw hole or if you just need to move a screw hole over a fraction of an inch from where an existing hole is, not just the scenario I’ve given here. I’ve even used it on furniture projects such as the end tables I built for my daughter’s room.

This past weekend at our family’s cottage, the bathroom door suddenly stopped closing all the way. It was probably due to the changes in the humidity and just threw everything a wee bit off of alignment. So it was a little hard for anyone to get any bathroom privacy, especially with a toddler running around to whom the concept of privacy is still a bit foreign at times.
