Mitch DeitrichThis is a folding laundry drying rack. Maybe called a clothes drying rack. It is a copy of a rack my wife got from our neighbor. Cool basic build. (But the the geometry confused me for a sec. lol) I did this without a drill press or a lath, so yes it can be done! The Original did not have lag bolts. Rather dowels stepped down on a lathe from 3/4" to 1/2". I Used 1" dowels and 1/4" Lag bolts, (3" & 2.5") plus 3/4" & 1" washers. This Folding Laundry Drying Rack can be made with basic tools.

It is my first one. I got the glass bowl top from a habitat for humanity store for a few dollars. Also the Narration with me in the corner is new to me. Also my first go at green screen! I will not be using this on a normal basis. It was just something fun to try.... Unless my viewers (that is YOU) enjoy it. Then maybe ;) Thanks for watching!!

This is a small wooden flower vase on the lathe. I used maple and cherry for the blank. I also used Pyrex test tubes for lining the inside. My tubes have a lip (witch I wanted). 1-18" on lip and 1" on tube. I did notice all test tubes are not created equal.... They ever so slightly do very in outside diameter.

In the end it is nothing more than a small cheap crosscut sled that I call a jig. I chose to make the finger about 3/16" so I went with that size gap between the blade and the dummy finger. That is the aluminum piece that holds the last cut finger gap. The slot for the blade is cut at 30 degrees. Really worked well for me. I had thought about making the aluminum piece removable or adjustable but decided it wasn't necessary. If this sled was supper square maybe I would have. I did not use any 5 cut method.... I used a speed square :)

It might not be in prefect scale by any means. I used a 2x6 board to cut the strips but really a board that is already 3/4" thick would save time. also I did buy the stars. yes I know (lame-o) but I only paid $3 on sale at my local craft store. I plan to make another one with the rusic torched look someday. For now I thought it was only appropriate to make a nice unweathered one first. Thanks for being part of my journey guys!

I used PVC board that I bought from Lowes. This stuff has a nice elastic feel when cut into feather boards. I think it will hold up for a long time. The fingers are cut to about the same thickness as a full kerf table saw blade. Maybe just a bit thicker. 3/16" at most. The gap or spacing is well 1/8". Size and length very and I'm not sure I will ever find a perfect size.... which is why I decided to make my own. This way I can easily make them as needed in the future.

I want to give back to one lucky person. How about a height chart ruler! You can give this to anyone you want. The numbers are painted and the ruler marks are routed out with a 1/4" round over bit then painted black. I do think this one came out a bit blotchy on the pine, but it adds that rustic look. I sprayed the whole thing with spray lacquer. So use a sharpie or permanent marker to make a child's height!
My main YouTube channel: https://www.MitchMakes.comBuild a Benchtop ROUTER TABLE | DIYMitch Deitrich2017-03-22 | DIY ROUTER TABLE I made this bench top router table with wood scraps and pieces I had laying around. This could easily be turned into a standalone router table or as some call it a router station. The plywood was a bit wavy so I used epoxy glaze coat to self level the top in two applications. This seems to have worked really well for me. This is my first router table build and was a lot of fun! My overall cost was about $100. Honestly the base plate was most of that. I personally wanted a base plate for for two reasons. One I can change the hole size with inserts and two it has a spot for a starting pin.

But I wanted more of an upright position since I will be using this a my work bench.

In this video I show you how I make a custom Tiki Torch. I used a one quart mason jar for the lantern part. The pole is made from pine and the top that holds the jar is oak. This was fun to build and I used entirely "scrap" or left over wood. I used 550 (camouflage) cord for the wrap on the handle. 1/4" round steel stock for the spick. Yes it will rust...doesn't bother me. It's in the ground anyhow!

Tim Sway youtube.com/channel/UC3CvHbiVAaYiMY2DMd1fcEQHeight Chart | Router TEMPLATE BuildMitch Deitrich2016-09-02 | All the slots are cut at 3/8". I then use a 3/8" router template guide with a 1/4" round over bit. I like the round over .However, one could use any bit up to 3/8" thick.
Any questions...? Just ask. I will try to help!
How I made the height chart: youtu.be/GUrwdetR8AMDIY Height Chart RulerMitch Deitrich2016-09-02 | Ok so this height chart was a lot of fun to build. Most of these start a 6" off the floor. I made a couple and yes the 6" rule is good. The one I made for me daughter was 5" off the floor. To my surprise the trim in her room was 5.75". So I had the pleasure of trimming and re-staining the bottom edge!
My inch marks are .25" or 1/4" wide. I think they look nice. They can also be painted any color. As opposed to wood burning.
How I made the router template: youtu.be/Oxj9jcizrigYouTube Play Button | Pallet WoodMitch Deitrich2016-08-17 | DIY YouTube play Button! So this build is a YouTube play button. I made it out of pallet wood. Just kind of wanted my own. No award here... lol just pallet wood art! The wood looked like oak to me.
I wanted to do a video entry for the Sterling Davis 2016 Pallet Up Cycle Challenge.
When I started this project I had a bench in mind. I never changed my plans and the end result is more of a table, coffee table, maybe a better called a Kool-Aid table. I think if the back pencil legs extended up through and more crayons were added as a back this would be more of a bench. It does work really well as bench just no back.. So I guess it is both! Either way lots of fun for the Kiddos.
This was my first attempt at some sort of (very basic) stop motion photography.

I used 6 deck boards, 1 - 2x4, 2 - 2x6, and 0ne 12' - 4x8. I had a lot of fun building this thing. If you have any questions please ask.Adding Outlets & Double Receptacle WiringMitch Deitrich2016-06-12 | This is how I added a couple of outlets to my shop. I will show how to wire a double receptacle, This is the main reason I have not insulated or dry walled my shop yet. This type of work should only be done if you are familiar with electrical wiring.Popsicle Stick Planter Box | 5 Gal. Bucket LinerMitch Deitrich2016-05-21 | This planter box is a hexagon made of large POPSICLE sticks! I designed it to accept a standard five gallon bucket as the liner for planting flowers or plants of one's choosing. Really quite a simple build. If I were to do this again I would have shortened it up a few inches and also spaced out the sticks a little better. However, It turned out good. If anyone is wondering how I did the printing for the jokes. I just used plastic coated parchment paper and ran it threw my inkjet printer. Quit a pain since the paper had a natural cruel to it. I learned that the printing ink should be put on before painting (the ink will bead and not dry on spray paint). Also, be very careful with the water based spar urethane as it will smear the ink. Even after the ink dries over night. One quick brush and let it dry! Then repeat. I would recommend spray spar urethane for the first coat if I were to do it again.

This old workbench I had was going to get junked. I thought I would try to salvage it. Maybe try to re-purpose it before I threw it out. I spent $7.70 to restore the thing! Not counting what I already had laying around.Corner Shelf DIYMitch Deitrich2016-04-30 | This is a corner shelf. It is supper easy to build. I made it out for some scrap wood.

This is my first ever bandsaw. I think it is really well built and should last me a long time. If any of you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments! This thing is Awesome!
This is NOT a PRODUCT REVIEW! I have only had this saw for a few days and that is not enough justice for a review. However, If anyone wants me to do one down the road I will consider.
I bought this thing on amazon http://www.amazon.com/JET-JWBS-14DXPRO-14-Inch-Deluxe-Band/dp/B001KQAMN8/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459462534&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=jetbandsaw+proWorkbench ProjectMitch Deitrich2016-03-25 | I made this work bench for my garage. Over a few weekends. It is 11' 6' long and is made of pine lumber. I used 2x10x12's on the top, mostly 2x4's are used for the frame with the exception of the center part of the legs. Those are rough cut 4x4's I had laying around. 1x6's for the bottom shelf. Getting the top seams to line up took a lot of sanding with 40 grit. They were to big for me to run through the table saw myself so I sanded and sanded. I did run skews threw the top and then filled with wood filler. I wanted strength. Plus the top boards are not glued so I can replace as needed (It's a work bench right?). This thing is big, heavy, and solid!
Here are some of the pictures I took when I made my workbench. I heavily modified some plans for Ana White
I made a computer desk with the plans from the link. I liked it so much I used the same concept to build the legs and what not for this workbench. Basically took the idea and rolled it into this.Bunny Rabbit Chew Stick ThingMitch Deitrich2016-03-20 | I thought I would make something for my daughters rabbit to chew on. I'm not sure if it will work since I really have no knowledge of what a rabbit wants, needs, or likes. However, this was a good opportunity to get my daughter involved with some basic tools and construction. Well, and spend time with me in the shop! I used oak and maple (fire wood) some scrap plastic and one screw. No finish or wood sealer of any kind was used.Junk Table / Workbench RestorationMitch Deitrich2016-03-14 | This old workbench I had was going to get junked. I thought I would try to salvage it.
