Outdoor Project Plans
-
PROJECT: Adirondack Upgrade
Most of us love the notion of outdoor chairs but not the struggle to get up and out of them. That’s why our art director set out to design a better Adirondack — and we think he’s got a winner!
-
Project: Bamboo Fly Rod
The author, a fly fisherman and woodworker, imagines himself during the various stages of rod-making as a “lumberjack, cabinetmaker and finisher.”
-
PROJECT: Little Book Lending Library
Share your love of printed books by building a repository that the whole neighborhood can enjoy.
-
CLASSIC PROJECT: Rustic Chickadee Cabin Birdhouse
You can complete this attractive home for your feathered friends in a weekend!
-
PROJECT: Make a Screen Door
A classic summer project, featuring sustainable wood and beautiful Arts & Crafts elegance.
-
PROJECT: Portable Gazebo
Our octagonal gazebo can be placed anywhere as long as it is on a level surface. Decks and patios are ideal locations, but a flat, grassy area will work, too.
-
PROJECT: Portable Outdoor Chairs
Fun to make, comfortable to sit in and surprisingly lightweight, these outdoor chairs will be a welcome addition to your backyard. Made from white oak, they’ll provide years of service.
-
Classic Project: Craftsman-Style Outdoor Lantern
Mount this Craftsman-inspired lantern on a porch post, beside your front door, or along a garden path and you’ll announce to all the world that “a woodworker lives here.”
-
PROJECT: Kubb Lawn Game
Pronounced koob, this ancient lawn game is enjoying a resurgence. On top of being fun to play, its parts are fun and easy to make.
-
PROJECT: Fold-up Greenhouse
This easy-to-build project lets you pick fresh vegetables and herbs for more months of the year — and it breaks down for easy storage when winter arrives.
