I am currently trying to decide on my next shop project. My neighbor has this in her front yard and I thought it would be a fun experience to build it. One problem though I need some help. I have never built anything like this, except for some adirondack chairs, so I was hoping all of you could help me. I am looking for a plan, tips, anything really. Thanks!

The Red & Blue sign was the very first sign that I have ever done. Truthfully I had never touched a router before this. Tooldad can back me up on that. This really was an easy, fun project for anyone to begin on. I enjoyed it a lot. I ended up making around 10 or 15 in the end. Most where sold and a few I gave away as gifts. The router definatly takes a steady hand and a lot of patience. I began with a bosch D handle and the you can hold it makes it easy. I also used the porter-cable which I definatly like as well. It is definatly a fun project for any beginner or an experienced woodworker.

This is a TV Stand that I built with the help help of my shop teacher. This is one of my first projects. It is very sturdy and looks great. It is made out of birch plywood and has pine frame work. The top section is set up for a adjustable shelf and the bottom is supposed to have doors but I haven’t built them yet. This project is still unfinished and I think it may stay that way. It holds a 27” TV and many components in the top section. This was my very first BIG project and this really isn’t that big. Sorry for the photos being so dark.
