DIY RESOURCES, PRODUCTS & REVIEWS

When planning your project, there is always research involved. What do you need? Budget? What Works? Here are some of Chris’ favorite tools, products & finishes.


WOOD FINISHES

Depending on the wood, what you are making and the look you are trying to achieve, there are a ton of finish options out there. Here are a few that are in the permanent rotation.

EPOXY

Those River Tables may be all the rage, but Epoxy is not CHEAP. We use epoxy to fill in gaps, knots and sometimes as a full finish.

GLUE

I know I know… GLUE. But you literally can’t make anything with out it.

ESSENTIALS

Sometimes its the little things that bring you the most joy. Like a new Sharpie or fresh Exacto Blades… or the best Spray Paint ever made aka Montana Gold. Whatever you do, use what you love.

TOOLS & MACHINES

If you are here, you have some tools, right? Below are some of Chris’ favorites that he has added to his collection over the years. And also, the Coveted Saw Stop on the top of his Wish List of course.

BACKYARD GAMES

We love Outdoor Games. Our Washer Boards are our Best Seller. If you want to make your own boards, check out Get Outside Games for their custom washers. And if Cornhole is more your bag (get it, haha) you can get those too.
