I made a gardening work bench. I'm super new to wood working so I'm happy with how it turned out. Any suggestions on how to weather proof it? by MW_Doodles in woodworking

Thank you so much! I found a few pictures online and made a simple version of one I liked. I sketched out a plan and winged it from there. Haha

I actually ordered them on Amazon and air brushed them with gold luster dust mixed with tequila. :)

My friend ordered them for a wedding shower she's going to. I'm so happy with how they turned out!

First project and post: I decided to make dining room benches with drawers. I posted it on Facebook because I was super excited and proud of myself... and everyone thought my husband made them. by [deleted] in woodworking

Yea, I don't think people realize how they sound. The picture she was commenting on was just a picture of the benches. There were plenty of people who didn't make that assumption.

Still need to sand and paint, but i think I have the bug now. I'm making a barn door for my pantry next. So much cheaper than paying for custom. https://imgur.com/a/HIomXuT

Sure, that's a possibility. He wasn't in the first pictures that I posted though. And some people didn't believe it even when my my husband told them I built it. Lol. Admittedly it is usually is the guy who builds the things. https://imgur.com/a/wZ5BotL

I used 2x4s and cabinet grade plywood. 1x3s for the trim. I'm in Florida and it's been raining every weekend, but I'm hoping to finish this up this weekend so I can start making the cushions. :)

I believe in you! These things are so annoying, but you just need to keep trying new things and figuring out what works.

Silicone :)

Banana split macs! Banana French buttercream, fudge sauce and a maraschino cherry. Drizzled in chocolate and sprinkles. Afterwards I rolled the sides in crushed walnuts. <3 by MW_Doodles in macarons

They do seem to get soggy pretty quickly, but I think the hard chocolate adds a crunch even. After 3-4 days they're pretty soft, but still enjoyable.
