What are you.planning on DIYing this year? Large or small I’d love to hear about it. Is it something you’ve done before or something out of your comfort zone?

I’m planning on building some wheelie bin storagefor the from of the house that’s on a bit of a slope. Never done anything like that before. I’m going to get a wood blade for my angle grinder as I cannot cut straight with a saw to save my life.

I’m sure it’ll end up looking like Homer’s handywork.

Before or after that I’d like to build a small work bench for the garage. But the possibilities are so much to decide on.

    Currently making a kitchen island from a base cabinet and butcher block from Lowes. Still figuring out how to face the unfinished back side. Thinking laminate floor pieces, but not sure if liquid nails will adhere it.

    Other than that, need to salt and gravel my driveway path.

    Hoping to buy a house and have more projects than I have time for! By the way, angle grinders are absurdly dangerous when used even slightly non-standard. Take a look please. https://youtu.be/o-imZgxAyIE Angle grinder rotation speed is enormous compared to circular saws.

    I have trouble cutting straight with saws too. Switching to a Japanese pull saw has helped a ton, and they can be bought online for like $20

      Angle grinders for wood are scary af - my cousin lost two fingrs using one that way, the kickback is insane compared to proper woodworking tools.
