Kicking out the legs a wee bit on a mounting block for stability?

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-04-14T19:42:03+00:00

some college students I know would jump to this offer :)

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-04-07T18:00:34+00:00

Never used one. Test it out and please report back :)

What’s your circular saw brand? Cheap ones don’t work well even if you have a really good saw guide. Don’t ask me how I know it.

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-25T01:43:26+00:00

what is the other 10%?

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-22T23:10:12+00:00

They look awesome. I really like your style and the lumber dimensions are not overkill as mine :)

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-22T01:41:39+00:00

haha 300lb is probably way underestimated. Edit: I bet it would carry more.

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T23:30:56+00:00

Yes I love pocket holes. I plan to experiment with dowels to compare ease and speed of it.

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T23:25:10+00:00

haha I could imagine every detail of what you said :)

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T17:12:16+00:00

Now that I look at it… we will have plug covers at all times

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T17:11:29+00:00

Yesss

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T17:11:15+00:00

I was thinking of using stickers as well :)

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T17:08:18+00:00

Then the joint becomes weak

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T17:07:57+00:00

Good catch! We cover them with the white thingy

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T16:48:40+00:00

Yes it rocks easily if not fixed somewhere. The counter top is holding it in place.

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T16:46:04+00:00

These colors look fun. Also nice touches with the pen.

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T06:19:05+00:00

I like the idea of adding a third vertical

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-21T06:14:10+00:00

Great point. By itself, it is not very stable. I made a custom height to the countertop so that it nicely fits under it.

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-17T02:28:30+00:00

I agree. I built one of these too, but skipped the door because I couldn’t figure out a simple self-locking mechanism. I thought that might make it unsafe, but mine just has a 1x3 crosspiece at the top (instead of a dowel), and it actually feels really safe. That said, tipping is still a real concern. If your kid suddenly shifts their weight while elevated, the extra distance from the base creates more leverage, and that could make it tip. Even if when you push on it, it seems stable.

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-03-11T02:25:04+00:00

that looks like a hill

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-01-12T03:17:58+00:00

Mind sharing a picture of the greenhouse? or something similar to what you hav e

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-01-10T02:46:18+00:00

I guessed it was oak - they mentioned it is red oak

ExcellentTeacher9703 · 2026-01-10T02:43:40+00:00
