This is a radiator cover that I built a few years back when I was relatively new to woodworking. I used mostly poplar and some MDF for the construction and then painted it.

This radiator cover was built for the radiator in my sunroom. The radiator is about 6 feet long about 12 inches square. We have steam heat and this radiator kicks off some serious heat.

The top is made from 2 pieces of poplar that are joined together with biscuits. The top has started to cup a bit from the excessive heat. When I built this I did not want to use MDF for the top because I could not get a sheet that big back to my house by myself.

I built this with no real plans. I had the overall dimensions sketched, but besides that had nothing on paper. I did have one design requirement though: that none of the existing woodwork in the room could be touched. I made sure that the cover could later be removed if I choose to build a new one or if we got rid of the steam radiators.

Finally finished this and mounted it. I used some furnace filters and a new attic fan that my father had given to me. Overall, i think I spent about $50.00 on it.

I don’t like the way the attic fan is working out and plan to swap in a HVAC blower once i get my hands on one. The attic fan is way too choppy and loud. It works though—the air is noticeably much cleaner.

I am doing some renovation in my shop and I put this together with some scrap and extra material that I had lying around. I have a basement shop and I am trying to make the space as functional as possible.

And like clamps, you can never have too many cordless drill/drivers.

So, Harbor Freight just opened up 10 minutes from my house and I have been buying clamps. I built this rack so that i could reconfigure it as i purchased more clamps and in different sizes.

I am planning on rebuilding the mobile base. I hacked this one together fairly quickly using casters from a $7.99 dolly.

There are more clamps hanging on the back side.

I think I spent more money on the rack than i did on the clamps.
