Fitting Your Shed Is As Simple As 1 2 3 The best Idea Wood Working Tactics

0 comments
Sheds are considered as simple yet sturdy structures found outside of the house, usually situated in the backyard or garage. The importance of a shed in every home is strengthened by the need for a storage space where tools, house repair items, spare parts, and house supplies can easily be accessed and organized. Today, wide arrays of sheds are available in the market that relatively responds to our specific storage need. May our need for shed be for our animals, hobbies, or just a storage space, there will surely be a specific-use shed available for us to install.

Contrary to everyone’s belief, installing a shed is not as uncomplicated as it seems to be. The first thing to do is to identify your need. By doing so, you must be able to determine your purpose of having a shed. Having a clear approach on this will help you in choosing the right type of shed. If you are not decided yet on this though, you can consider first the most generic items that a shed should contain and from there, have a shed-type selected for it.

Now that you have decided on the type of shed, you can easily follow these hassle free steps in installing your new storage space:

1. Check your local building code for the allowed shed size. By doing so, you will be properly guided with your community’s policies on shed building, keeping you and your housemates safe from any danger that might be brought about by misconstruction.

2. Next thing to do is to buy all the building materials and prepare the necessary tools in the installation. While preparing, segregate already the materials according to its specific use and function. For example, separate the materials to be used as the base and foundation from the items you will use for attachment (bolts and nuts, screws, nails, adhesives, and the like). Your working tools may also include gloves and working shoes, or a mask if some soldering will be done. Don’t forget also to prepare your shed installing plan that includes your working diagrams, guidelines, measurements, and the like. Some shed making kits already come with instructions or how-to-build diagrams, so better have them on hand.

3. Keep in mind the place where your shed will be installed. Check the level of the ground for cracks, imbalance, or other deformation. The shed should also be situated in a space free from possible obstructions like tree branches, communication lines, and the like. The main purpose of this is that the shed is still categorized as a solid structure, thus, must be constructed with safety in mind.

4. Create your shed by following the instructions in your prepared guideline or work plan. Remember to work your way from the bottom or foundation, next to the walls, then to the roof, and finally to the finishing touches. Ensure as well that all appendages are properly installed and tightened for these also contribute to the strength of the structure.


Your shed is now done and ready for storage and organizing. See, it’s really that easy.

WHAT IS MDF painted mid century dresser

0 comments
I turned this elegant mid century dresser into a chic and modern TV console.


Look at these wonderful carved wood handles extending the full length of each of the 9 drawers.



George picked this up from a nice lady quite some time ago
but I refused to work on it till he recently egged me on again.


The drawers are beautifully built with solid wood front to back, top to bottom.
I wish I could find this level of quality in every piece I work on.


The entire inside frame structure is constructed with solid hard wood.


Now to the reason I refused to work on this piece.
The 6ft long top surface *interior* is ... (listen carefully for the scarey music)
MDF - medium density fiberboard


This invention of the 1960s is formed by gluing together wood fibers under high heat and pressure.
Unfortunelty this dresser dates to 1972, thus becoming an early victim of this new invention.


However this piece also has a thick solid wood veneer covering the MDF,
making it possible for me to completely strip, sand, and refinish the top.


Those familiar with my work know my clear feelings regarding MDF products but many DIYers
are finding ways to refinish it and repurpose pieces constructed of it.

Like these MDF cupboards given a faux paint finish at KFD Designs

How about this wall art using MDF from All Things Thrifty

  MDF hardboard was used to transform this guest bedroom at Miss Mustard Seed


So George made one last attempt to convince me to give it a shot and offer a MDF revamp.
Im pleased, well very pleased with the end result but I dont feel my opinion on MDF is going to change any time soon. If this MDF hadnt been wrapped up in so much beautiful craftsmanship
it would have never got my attention.


I opted to industrialize it and give it the low profile needed for a sleek TV console
with vintage metal casters I picked up from my favorite antique dealer.

"Now thats stunning"
is what George said as he walked around the corner not expecting to see it finished for the first time.
He actually keeps saying it every time he passes by.
