Not everything that I'm working on makes it into a video. I like to share photos occasionally on Instagram. You can follow me on Instagram at B2Builds. Below are some of my recent photos and videos:

Finally built us a mobile rack for our croquet set. I've been mulling over designs and redesigns of this for way too long, really happy with how it came together, just don't look too closely at the finish. 🙂 Holds all the stuff and moves around easy
Latest quarantine organization project: Bocce Ball Carrier. The 40-year-old cardboard box wasn't cutting it anymore. Now we can easily move the set around, get whatever colors we want easily, and put them away just as easy. This should bring a tiny d
Having access to a CNC machine at work has its perks. I whipped up this photo display for my desk. Routed out a couple wavy lines with a 1/16" bit, 1/4" deep, and the kids' photos stand up nicely. #wood #woodworking #xcarve #cnc #deskdecor
I've been experimenting with making different designs for Poker Penny trays, 3D printed plastic and CNC cut wood, 50¢ and $1 capacities. Unsurprisingly walnut is my current favorite. Our family has been playing a lot of penny poker lately and I
It's been slow going work, patching up my basement after installing a proper drain system. Finally getting new tile laid and seeing some progress.
I got a few comments on my #neopixel wiring the other day so I thought I should share a bit of the process. What really helped (besides tedious cutting, stripping and bending) was to hold them in place with a little weight. In this case it was one of
When you need a two-battery-holder but only have a single-battery-holder... Just cut, and add wood and CA glue #macgyver #electronics #usewhatyouhave
Playing with addressable RGB LEDs for the first time. These things are fun :-) #electronics @particle_iot @adafruit #led #neopixel
Just in case our furnace breaks while we're on vacation, my @particle_iot board will let me monitor the house temperature, and get notifications via @todayatifttt I had all the hardware from a workshop at last year's #iotdevfest and threw together t
Nothing fancy, but very functional. Now we can pass around the SkipBo draw pile without it falling over #family #gamenight #skipbo #cards #playingcards #cardgames #wood #woodworking #diy
So... this just happened. If we want more backyard s'more fires this fall, I might have to channel my inner @jimmydiresta and try making a new handle. #axe #broken
Got the box all cleaned up last night and installed some custom holders for the tool. Now it just needs a little finish and some hardware. #wood #scrapwood #case #storage #organization #box
Clamp champ! I just finished doing some work on my basement, and now I need some better long-term storage for my new powder nailer and its supplies. Scrap wood to the rescue. Once this box glue-up is dry I'll cut it in half and turn it into a custom
Finally finished and looking good. It has its flaws, but that was fun to make. #woodworking #turning #woodturning #maple #walnut #cup #pencilcup #contrast
Step 2: Remove the nest 😱 #wasps #evicted
Finally made it back to my dad's shop to finish off the cup I started earlier this summer. The end grain didn't fare as well, but overall I really like how it turned out. Just need to clean up the bottom and add some finish. #lathe #turning #woodwor
Here's a bit more context for the video I posted here yesterday. For the contest, I had about a week to come up with a weapon for launching tomatoes. It performed OK, but the real fun was building it. All scraps from my garage, the track used to be u
