My house had some ceramic tiles on the staircase risers that were… not my favorite. My mom had actually come up with the idea when I first bought the house to cut pieces to fit from a quarter inch sheet of Lauan plywood and stain and seal it - Two years later I finally did it!
In a follow up to my DIY Overwatch Themed Desk, I really wanted to do something else with the Mercy ultimate/resurrect stencil I made. For under $25 in raw materials, I made a 6”x6” Mercy resurrection icon etched acrylic block and custom 2x4 wood stand.
I repaired these chairs for my friend Lauren that had been broken by some of her roommates fat friends - these chairs can only hold so much weight. This is what the chairs looked like when she gave them to me. Luckily, the repair was simple enough because the seats themselves were just quarter inch plywood cut into a circle with roughly a 12” diameter.
I have been absolutely hooked on Overwatch for the past couple of weeks - I haven’t had this much fun playing a PC game since StarCraft Brood War or Minecraft. I’ve been mostly playing on my iMac running Windows through bootcamp. While it worked, it could really only handle medium graphics setting at around 40 FPS. For a long time I’ve toyed with the idea of building a “rig” - a new PC specifically for gaming. Now that I finally have the game I want to play, that was all the justification I needed.
I built a new PC, and at the same time also made a new Overwatch themed desk for the PC to go in my room.
I just bought a SawStop Table Saw and a Taper Jig from Rockler and wanted to make a somewhat fancy piece of furniture. I liked having my Standing Desk behind my couch, but wanted something a little bit nicer to match my End Table - so I built this table.
I originally built workbenches to hold my Miter saw, however I noticed it was getting painfully annoying to have to move things off of my bench just to make a few cuts, or cover everything I was working on currently with saw dust because the saw would kick it up everywhere.
So, I built a really simple work bench on wheels to hold the saw. Again, just like the original workbenches, I liked it so much I built a second one to just be able to freely roll around my garage for ad hoc projects.
