I lost my son to a congenital heart defect in 2015. Since then, I've discovered that woodworking and DIYing is a fantastic outlet for my stress and anxiety so I've set on a mission to learn as much as I can! Join me as I find new projects to flood my body "construction endorphins."
Wine Cellar Construction
I had a fantastic time designing and building a wine cellar for a spare room in our basement. I built the wine racks from scratch and installed Lowe's SmartCore Pro Luxury Vinyl plank to complete the room. I learned a ton and gained more confidence in woodworking. Enjoy!

Hudson's Desk
zhlédnutí 520Před 4 lety
My sons, along with the rest of the country, seemingly, will be going to virtual school next year. My middle kid needed a desk for his room, so I decided to build him one! I began my construction process using sketchup to make the project easier. I am so proud of how this school desk turned out! music: www.bensound.com
Organizing My Closet

Sawing and Sanding
zhlédnutí 398Před 4 lety
After picking up the remainder of the lumber for the wine cellar, I finished cutting everything to length and sanding it all. Now I get to get back to work on the actual building part. Man I love construction...I guess even sanding.
Building a Ramp for an Elderly Dog
zhlédnutí 1,2KPřed 4 lety
Our 13 year old dog is definitely showing his age. I decided to build him a ramp out of plywood, 2x4 scraps, and a piece of scrap carpet to make going up and down stairs a bit easier on his joints. Enjoy!
Workshop Organization
zhlédnutí 209Před 4 lety
My workshop got out of control lately, so I decided to get started on organizing it. It's not perfect, but it's a big improvement. (And as my husband says, room for more projects now!) Now I just need to build some lumber storage and hang more of my tools on the walls. Music: www.bensound.com

My son, Nolan, builds his first REAL project in the workshop. (With a little help.) He decided to use leftover red oak, and learned a whole lot about all the tools involved in woodworking.
Farmhouse Style Mudroom Cubbies

See??? I can actually clean. I just choose to woodwork instead so our house gets out of control.

Building the jig and first wine rack
zhlédnutí 21KPřed 4 lety
Building a wooden jig out of scrap plywood to create evenly spaced wine racks
Really enjoyed that video. Youve made a cracking job of that build.
Nice job!
Nice job! FYI, there is a simple jig you can build over the fence that would have helped supporting the panel when cutting the plywood angle
Kat, Can you please provide a PDF of the jig plans?
Kat please come back and make more
I've just begun a basement entertainment center remodel and will be posting a new video here in a couple of days! Thanks for watching.
@@katcan7085 great news I am doing a set of stairs to the attic in the garage soon... looking forward to seeing your new video
Looks great but I think you might have used some glue also. Those legs may come loose with just those pocket screws. Oh, just noticed it was done 2 years ago.
Bro I was about to say “stagger the floor”
Incredible… did you end up putting some form of climate controller in there? Awesome job!
Hey There. thanks! No, we never did put a climate controller in as we just don't buy expensive enough wine to warrant it at this time.
*The workshop looks great 🤗*
Great jig, looks like the slots are far too narrow between rows.
thanks so much! I went through multiple iterations (not by choice...LOL) to find the exact size that would fit anything from pinot bottles to standard cab bottles.
Great job!
Great. Jig build. I going to try an make ☝️ one!,
This seems like such a fun project. Thank you for sharing the process with us. Can I ask? What did you use for a vapor barrier to prevent mold build-up in the walls? I'd also be curious about what you're using for a cooling unit? Thank you for sharing!
Sorry for the late response. The room was already designed as an additional bathroom so it had green board. At this point we haven't added a cooling unit because, to be perfectly honest, we don't buy super expensive wine. We keep the good bottles we DO buy in the little wine fridge in the bottom right corner.
I am honored that you support me in my humble channel specialized in wood decorations and everything that is wooden
This is the best one that I’ve seen on CZcams, well done !
It’s amazing! Do you have any map with mensures to try imitating? THanks! Regards from Spain
Kat, how long was your wine jig? Is there a specific size that you recommend?
Wow. You did great. Love it thank you so much for the tutorial
Awesome build! For the wine part upper portion, do you mind sharing the height between the rows and is that 1x1 used to help stabilize the bottles
Very nice job and informative video also. I don't know any women who would be interested in doing this type of work and not many men that could do it! I finished a smaller project recently since I didn't have as much room available and it's quite a bit of work and cutting on the table saw but well worth it.

That’s it, I’m sending my wife to carpentry school. Love your work here Cheers 🇦🇺🍷😷👍☕️
So when you had the double sided racks were you able to use the same jig? Awesome job btw :-)
No, that was one of the downsides to the jig. I just placed the small cross pieces on the opposite side and lined it up to the best of my ability. It works fine and we haven't had any spaces too narrow or too wide.
nice work
Beautiful project! What did you use for material?
Select pine for the majority and 3/4” plywood for the rest. The bar top is also select pine, but I may revise that at some point. Thanks for the comment!
@@katcan7085 Thanks for the reply
I barely get nails in a wall. Huge compliment
Nice video. Hope you can keep making videos. You should have thousands of subs but as I've seen other channels, it takes a lot of time but they suddenly take off.
Awesome job - very inspiring!
Wow! Amazing design and work!
Nice design. How are you controlling the room’s temperature? As a side note, please never ever do that table saw trick again! Kickback is extremely dangerous, even though you positioned yourself out of the way
We are not as we don't typically buy super expensive wine. It is in a basement, so it generally stays cooler down there anyhow, and we have all the heating vents turned off. For the good wine we DO buy, we place it in the little wine fridge in the bottom right corner of our cellar.
Really nice build and video. Enjoyed it. What did you do for humidity and temperature control?
It is in a basement, so the temp is generally acceptable down there. For now, we have a hygrometer to monitor the humidity and run a humidifier as needed. Eventually we will install an actual system, but we kept it simple for now.
Excellent job but what are dimensions (spacing between bottles) of the wine racks?
Jesus you are amazing.
Wow very impressive! Great job!
Beautiful, practical and elegant! 🌹🌹💐
Kat - how wide are the drawers in the middle part of the cabinet?
Every home should have one! Very nice. 👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
Nice job! This room setup is similar to the basement room we have set aside for wine storage. Would you have any wood data (types, dimensions, etc) that you could share? Thanks
Really nice, what are the measures of the pieces of wood for the upper part?
Hi! My dog is getting old as well and stairs are hard for her. I was wondering, how much your dog weighs because I would like to see if it would hold for my dog as well. She's a pretty big puppy.
Hey There! Our dog is 100lbs. As long as you properly support along the base and use 3/4" plywood, you should be fine.
I need to have a serious talk with my wife. She needs to step up her game.
Awesome job!! It looks fantastic
As a minor do it yourselfer ... well lets just say holy cow congratulations on a terrific job. I just wrote someone a big fat juicy check after saving for ten years!!!
This is so cool, well done! Wow! Did you use any insulation in the walls and what kind of cooler system did you install? I’m from SoCal so refrigeration is priority.
The room is in a basement, so temp is usually ok. For humidity, we use a hygrometer to measure and run a humidifier as needed.
Wow, looks delicious. May have to dust off our ice cream churn! But I’m not brave enough to make ice cream inside either, Janet! Katherine and her boys did a great job preparing the recipe. ☺️
I envy your space. I've got the 1/2 part of a 2-1/2 car garage so I'm happy with the square footage, but I only have one wall to work with and even that is already mostly taken up. I agree with the french cleat comment. There's so much you can do, from wood storage to tool storage. I intend to maximize the wall space I have available with a french cleat system. A place for my clamps and a charging/storage station for my cordless drill and driver. Just those two things would make a huge difference for me. You have adequate floor space, you should think about an outfeed/assembly table. The Kreg table is nice, but I've seen you work so much on the floor, a larger bench to work at would be a benefit to you and your projects. Of course, I'm already 61 so my ability to work on the floor is just a blur in my rear view mirror. Lol
My wife would love that kitchen. Heck, I love that kitchen. The windows! Life always seems to get in the way of the fun stuff. We're supposed to be the smartest beings on the planet. Why haven't we figured how to change that?
Love this build!!
I cannot believe the amount of work you put into this. It is so beautiful. You used your high school math skills in ways that I could not have imagined. Just designing such a complex project is beyond my powers of imagination. I am so proud of you.
Hi Kat. Enjoyed watching you put this desk together. How long did it take you in real time to finish? Do you find yourself working on projects until later in the evening to finish certain parts of the project?
Charles Abell Thanks! It was a lot of fun to build. I’d estimate 4 or 5 hours of the course of 3 days. Generally i work while the boys are playing but if my husband has to work late, I’ll work at night as well.
