I Like To Make Stuff

The U.S. Navy challenged me to build a mobile shelter as part of their series #SailorVS.

Come see how you can make the ultimate paint booth with a bunch of storage space!

Have something unique that you want to show off, make a cool custom display box!

Let us show you how to add storage to almost any bed with this simple drawer system.

I redesigned one of my Rolling Tool Carts to become a Model Making Station with trays for paints, new tools, and a taller design!

With all of the model making and electronics tinkering I've been doing lately, I wanted a custom silicone mat that could hold specific items.

To finish off our new home gym, I made a DIY weight rack to accommodate our collection of plates and barbells.

I made my daughter a clean, modern canopy bed using plywood! We've got plans available so you can make one too!

In this project, I make a DIY weight bench to go in our new home gym area. We've been working out at home so that we can stay healthy while social distancing.

Since making the Raise Garden Beds, My wife has asked for a potting bench. Using simple construction, I made her a cedar potting bench with a built-in sink.

My family has recently finished watching Avatar: The Last Airbender and I have been wanting to make a cool prop from the show.

The team at I Like To Make Stuff has just released Fusion 360 For Makers, a 1-on-1 video course dedicated to teach your the ins and outs of 3d modeling with Fusion 360.

In this 4th installment of Making an R2-D2, we are adding the dome motor, the electronic brain, adding hinged panels, and syncing the remote control. Thanks to Express VPN for sponsoring this project.

Since we've been home for a while, I decided to rekindle my love for coffee and espresso by making a coffee tamper out of patterned plywood.

I've started playing the tabletop game Star Wars X-Wing and I really love it. There are a lot of small ships and pieces that need proper storage.

I wanted to make a portable grill that fit on our farm's fire pit. Actually, I wanted it to fit over any fire pit, so I used some scrap metal to make a quick, portable grill.

Like many of you, I wanted to try my hand at home gardening and I started by making a raised garden beds from composite decking.

I have more guitars than I do guitar straps, so I took this as a challenge to make my own leather guitar strap using some scrap leather I had on hand.

With my 4 kids doing school at home lately, I've needed to make a charging station for all of their school computers. This project was made from materials I had on-hand and took a day to build.

I wanted to make a new bedside lamp and I also wanted to charge all of my devices, so I made a modern lamp with inductive charging!

As many of you know, I have a lot of instruments. Lately, I've been practicing a lot more and needed a place to store all of my guitars.

(FYI, this was an April Fools Day video) - We finally shot a shop tour in February of 2020, come check out the I Like To Make Stuff headquarters including the workshop, the office, the recording

Today my kids are putting to use what they've learned this week by making a simple birdhouse from a single 5' board.

Continuing our "stuck at home" Shop Class, we talk about drills, bits and other basic tools as we prepare to make a simple birdhouse!

With my kids doing school from home right now, I thought it was a great time to give them a simple Shop Class! Come along with us as they learn some basics, and build a project together!

We went to Chicago (*more than 7 weeks ago*) to deliver the B Bender guitar to our buddy Rob Scallon, we shot a lot of fun and awesome footage.

I decided to turn PUBG Mobile's iconic level 3 helmet into a functioning welding helmet!

I wanted to make a nice mid century modern credenza to hold my newest fresh-water fish tank. Using some walnut plywood, I built a sliding-door cabinet to hold all of the fish tank's support equipment.

My metal storage was a disaster, so I made a simple steel storage rack while Josh was learning to weld. The entire storage rack was made from existing scrap metal that now holds scrap metal.

I modified a Chapman guitar for our friend Rob Scallon. This unique build allows Rob to stretch just a single guitar string to make some beautiful music.
