What a beautiful and resourceful chest made from salvaged pieces that could have gone to "who knows what." The builder used his mind, body and spirit to create a very useful and long-lasting heirloom for someone. And for only $10!

The Shed for All Seasons was a wonderful and outstanding project for a husband and wife to complete together. I wish more couples would do the same.

I agree what a beauty, thats what i call a good way to keep it from the land fills, better to recycle the wood, I made a music box out of an old sewing machine case, well done Tom Benoit Sr

All projects were excellent from salvaging to safety to team work to design. I only wish I could vote for all of them. I hope more members will post their projects.

The shed for all seasons is beautiful. It remines me of the little Garden cabins in Germany where we would stay sometimes on the weekends to get away from the long military life during the week. Great Job.

Sorry but I believe there wwas more work and thought in the drive than the other projects it looks like most of them were built from kits.

I am glad to see salvage and recycled materials in projects - especially the mosaic driveway. I am incorporating salvaged materials, such as concrete pieces, into my backyard pathways. Using broken stepping stones, pavers, and bricks, I add mosaic paths between my workshop, both gates, and the patio. I have planted fragrant herbs and flowers among the stones to add fragrance to each walk.

The treasure chest can be past down to stay in the family for many many years. Where the others will be delapidated.

As a chlid I watched my Dad build many projects He brought a 2 room house from Lafitte, Louisiana. Then he started to add on biulding as he went a set of kitchen cabinets, laundry room, 2 more bed rooms a sewing rm, a patio using the older squares colored. I would stand in his shed next to his table saw and wear goggles to keep out sawdust. Gee I miss my Dad. If he were here he would have used a set of chisels and planers to do grooves and shapes on that chest which is my favorite. But all the other project deserve praise. The point of a project is to complete it and admire your work.

I agree with you. It took alot of imagination and creativity to do the driveway. most of the other projects do come in kits, and not much creativity was put into them. good going on the drive way.

I like the shed. I like the way it looks but more importantly I like the fact that a husband and wife built it together. It is fantastic to see a husband and wife working on something together as the biggest majority of the time she is doing one thing while he is doing something else totally different and somewhere else. This shed is what you should call quality time spent together and in a marriage that is the most important thing. Do one better get the kids involved as well you will be glad you did. Ah memories. After it is all said and done memories are all we really have. Take time to make really good ones.

As many of you said it is hard to pick just one when they all have extrodinary craftsmanship in all of the projects and they are beautiful in their own way, the drive way is very artistic in the pattern and the time it took to lay it out and move stones here andthere to get it just right . The chest is ,how sould I say "Beautiful" excellent craftmanship in the details. The shed is a piece of work in itself as the coulpewere building something else their marriage , it takes working on also and building something like this makes it fun to do with your spouse. And last but not least by any measures the Stair case in all it glory is a beautiful peice of Craftmanship Excellence. I know building staircases are not easy to lay out much less to build in place, so cuudoos to you. As I said it is going to be hard, but I think the staircase takes it after all, they are not easy and he made it look easy ,GOOD JOB Eric T Life Member Visalia, Ca

The stair case is awsome and hits close to home as I am researching and preparing to build a spiral stair in my arduous task of long term remodel.

For the staircase I love how the builder was able to get the railing to match the flooring, the grandfather clock in the corner, as well as the kitchen table in chairs you see in the background. It ties it all in nicely. I voted for the treasure chest, I love the idea, plans, and most importantly the color of the wood. Fantastic craftmanship on all four projects!
