    I'm stocking up on cedar pickets this coming fall/winter season while they're dirt cheap so I can go wild next spring building things for my new backyard, and as gifts for family members. There are so many things you can build for a little bit of nothing out of those things! I wish I had known this sooner. I don't have the super fancy tools, but the ones I do have can usually get the job done with a little bit more elbow grease. Thanks for this, it's going at the top of my list!

      You are so right. Cedar is my new go to material. I love how it holds up, how it looks and even how it smells. I was thinking about building these projects with tools most of us have in our garage or can buy really cheap and created another video on building a lounge chair.

      Sides: 4ea. 5.5"x 28" and 2ea. 3.25"x28"

My grandfather, who instilled in me a love for woodworking in the 70s, had similar tremors in his hands, and he suffered from emphysema. Not like it matters, I was just curious. Seeing that just brought back a lot of memories of my time in the shop with him.

      I’m sorry you think I stole something. There are many videos out there on this subject and they all share different versions and different ideas. It is fun to see everyone’s different twist on these ideas. Thanks for watching.

      They are not bad. I had one board that had a curve but was able to pull it in. But you can select boards when you pick them out.
