Posted on October 16, 2017 by robertwilkie

I like how the author put a small angle on the ends of the boards so the shield has a little curve to it.  Nice touch. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Make-a-Wooden-Shield/

Make a Ballista

Another nice LED sign build

Posted on August 7, 2017 by robertwilkie

Nice looking table from 2x4s

Posted on July 31, 2017 by robertwilkie
