Robert Johnson is a woodworker who takes joy in sharing his passion for creating to the rest of the world. His brainchild, Sawinery, allowed him to do so as well as connect with other craftsmen and women. He has since built an enviable workshop for himself and an equally impressive online accomplishment: an extensive resource site serving old timers and novices alike.

And when topped with plywood, they become an instant worktable. We've highlighted a few popular sawhorse designs including our own , but this particular sawhorse pair might be our favorite so far. Built entirely out of 2x4s, this style of sawhorse is popular on construction sites and can be fastened together with nails or screws.
Traditional A-frame toolboxes have been used by generations of tradespeople, including carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and mechanics. So, we decided to show you how to build not one, but five different versions of A-frame toolboxes, each customized for a particular type of work and worker. The open-top designs of A-frame toolboxes are preferred to boxes with hinged lids because they provide quick access to the tools. Sure, they may look a little rough and ready, but these boxes are workhorses, not works of art.
Box-making is an essential skill for woodworkers of all skill levels. And while many wooden boxes have been used in and around the shop and home, there's just something beautiful and enduring about a handcrafted wooden box. Here, we'll show three different ways to build a box: with box joints, spline joints, and rabbet joints.
Once you hone your skills for making wooden boxes with tight joints and perfect proportions, you can create far greater things. We asked three expert woodworkers to build a simple box to see how each would approach the task. Very differently, it turns out—despite giving them similar design guidelines. The outside dimensions had to be 8 inches high x 12 inches wide x 16 inches long, and they could only use tools and materials found at their local home center.
We ended up with three boxes with three distinctive joints—all equally awesome. It's safe to say that many people who buy wine by the case like to display their stock as part of their home decor, but not any wine rack will do. Whether you're looking for a mediterranean feel, a rack that can withstand the outdoors, or if you need to store a lot of wine, these three wine racks—created in the Popular Mechanics workshop—are just what you're looking for.
It often seems that things aren't what they used to be, and this feeling holds true for furniture as it does for other aspects of our lives. Some contemporary designs force us to think of furniture as art—or, at the very least, as decorative embellishment—and in the process, seem willing to leave the comfort and function of furniture behind.
This is why we thought it might be refreshing to hearken back to the days when a table was a table, simple and functional, yet beautiful. Our kitchen table's straightforward construction and clean lines are reminiscent of Shaker furniture. And, in the Shaker tradition, the table was also designed to serve both as a utilitarian workstation, for preparing a meal, and as a dining table. It's dimensioned to seat four diners or, in a pinch, accommodates up to six.

A simple pergola consists of a four-post layout in a square or rectangle, and then topped with crossbeams, rafters, and lattice.
Here, we present eight essential building steps, as well as DIY plans for building your own pergola. Either way, you win, because a pergola is as enjoyable to build as it is to share with family and friends.
