We live outdoors, but some brothers like the cave life. It’s a good idea to mark their territory with a warning. With our friends at Sawitall.net, we did a couple test runs with a rustic man cave sign.
One is a wild west font and the other looked good with a rough edge and some bolts.

(2/2) On display at the Urban Man Cave in New Westminster.
At the request of a client, we tried our version of a retro sixties credenza, complete with shelves, three sliding doors, and those skinny little six inch legs. The project went together quite well and all was designed and cut to fit, then assembled in the kitchen, because the outdoor shop was too cold for the glue to set. The finish is stained dark walnut per the client’s wishes and the interior was wiped in poly using the natural birch color of the interior. As we were working on it, some had flashbacks of parents’ furnishings. We sort of went by memory.
The dimensions were to fit: 5′ x 1′ x 32″. The credenza was designed in pine, birch ply, with a spruce top. #130-BL-01-13
We received a load of reclaimed pine planks last season. Now we are starting to look at some ways to use them. After pulling nails and compressing the boards to straighten them, we planed and sanded the stock to discover some unique dark tones and grain. For the first batch, pine patio tables with a trick hood—the top is split and opens up to reveal a storage box, or cubby, for entertaining supplies, favorite reading material or games.
Size: 20x20x20 and 24x24x20 (shown). Finished in natural color and rosewood oil.
