I made a number of tools, jigs and fixtures to make making stuff easier and to organize the stuff I use to make stuff. Here are some of those shop projects.

I've built a couple of bunk beds for the girls. The first one was built to straddle a full size bed and was given away at some point. I was requested to build another one a couple of years later. A few pictures survived over the years but most are missing for some reason.

Here are some (but not all) of the home improvement projects we took on ourselves (meaning I did most if not all of work myself). Many of these photos are also found in the "Second Story Addition" album. These are here to show the work I did myself on this project. The other album has a lot more detail on the addition process.

I promised Johanne I would build a porch swing when we put up a second floor on the house in 2004. It only took me 14 years to get it done. The plans were taken almost verbatim from the plans I found here: http://myoutdoorplans.com/furniture/porch-swing-with-center-console-plans/

Gina was bugging me to make a cat house for our cat Odin. I reviewed a few plans online, took some ideas from various projects and created my own. I make it easier for an older cat to climb without jumping even though Odin is still an agile cat. Both Gina and Odin were happy with the results. I also built one for Julia and Megan's disabled cat.

These are some small short term projects I've made.
