Build a really simple garden bench And a contest!
Heres a really easy project anyone can build in a weekend. I was inspired to build something that required very few tools and would be a nice summer project. To build this bench, you will just need a saw (any kind), a drill, and some screws. I built mine with four 2x4s and six 1x3 boards. Total cost: $30. I can imagine all sorts of ways to enhance this bench too!*****
Update: here are cutting sizes for the boards:

I also wanted to showcase a few tools from Kreg that can make the project even easier. I have a video contest this week and Kreg was kind enough to offer up some prizes.
Grand Prize:
The Kreg pocket hole jig.
First Prize:
Kreg Klamp Vise
Second Prize:
Kreg Square-Cut
Two bonus prizes.
Be the neighborhood show-off with a mere Mortal Tee!
To enter, watch the following video for instructions. Basically, shoot a ten-second video illustrating the theme: "A Mere Mortal..." Supply your own verb and finish the sentence. Get creative! Then post your video on YouTube as a video response to this video. Hurry! Contest ends Sunday, May 27th. Good luck!
