Thank you for posting this Instructable. I followed your plans but made my table two inches taller because I wasn't going to remove handles from my huge Craftsman router. Now I can put finishing touches on smaller pieces of wood and my router will be getting used a lot more.

Thank you for posting this I'ble. My pooch is getting older and has to stoop over to eat and drink. I liked that you split the top down the middle to cut two semi circles. Where I differed with mine is I used two 9" x 6 1/4" rectangles and then used the semi circle as a template to trace and cutout an arch for the legs. Now my old dog is enjoying this raised surface.

- jimbayes made the instructable Crate & Barrel Christmas Hack: Wooden Ornament TreesView Instructable »
Thank you for posting this project. I needed a quick project to make as December was coming up quickly. After making my template I decided to make four of these wooden trees.To speed up the process of cutting the pieces I cheeted and didn't measure my angles. I lined up the blade on my chop saw carefully before cutting. It worked well and now I have four trees for small ornaments that took almost no time to make.

Thank you for posting this Instructable. Every year we buy a pumpkin out of obligation, cook up some of the seeds, carve it and set it outside for the squirrels to nibble, then we throw it away on November 1st. This was more fun and next year it is already prepared.My only change was to take a solar powered lawn lights through a hole in the top. Again, thank you. I made a total of four on Saturday.

You have made a beautiful surf board. I've followed the Instructable and made a couple of XPS kayaks that I love. An XPS surf board is intriguing to me as the waves on Lake Michigan (30 miles from me) can get pretty big.
- jimbayes made the instructable Inexpensive Garage Lights From LED StripsView Instructable »
Thank you for this instrcutable. My garage is much smaller than yours, but it only had one garage light on a switch and one light on the garage door opener. Doing projects in my garage was always a bother because of the lack of light when I would be working on something at night.But I did change it up a bit with my LED strips. I ran three rows like in the I'ble, but the outer two strips were on the circuit for the light switch and the middle row was connected to the garage door opener. This way I had better lighting when the garage door opener was used, but when I need to get things done I have even more light. And instead of having light where the bulb were located, in the middle of the garage, I now have lights that span the entire area.Someone on here said that these lights wouldn't…

I had a Mighty Wallet for years. The wife always hated it, and when it was well worn she bought me a leather wallet. I always hated the thick leather wallet, but what could I do?Thank you for getting me back into a thin and functional wallet without spending money. That compromise aught to make the missus happy.Than

Thank you for posting this Instructable. I recently developed plantar fasciitis and had to stop running, so I've been riding my bike and wanting to start working my upper body. Your design holds my 220+ weight without the bars bending or sounding like it's about to snap.

My third grade nephew didn't want to take my standard sawfish out on his own, so I had him ride with me. I'm a big guy, 220 lbs., and my nephew is probably 50 lbs. and I had at least an inch and half of the sides above water. I hope that helps.That being said, my young nephew used the paddles and was able to get us moving pretty quickly on the lake and the kayak did not take in any water.
Thank you for posting this project. This is something I would make.
