Growing up in Pittsburgh I've pretty much been a hockey fan my entire life. We've been fortunate to watch not one, not two, not three, not four, but five Stanley Cup wins come through the city of Pittsburgh.
We've been in The Dream Shop for over three months now, and we’ve mostly been focusing on the wood shop. You’ve followed us as we got the dust collection, the CNC, the CNC room and a bunch of other stuff,
What’s up Squirrely Squad? When I bought The Dream shop I knew I wanted to expand upon what we were able to do with the standard model CNC (computer numerical control). So, we built her a noise controlled room, if you remember from our previous video.
The dream shop has been in need of a better dust collector since we moved in. The system we had worked fine, but we needed something with some more collection capacity for future projects.
You guys have been asking if I could try an epoxy countertop, and Stone Coat Countertops sent me an entire kit, so this week we’re giving it a shot. If you guys remember on our three-level cabinet build, I built a cherry cabinent and didn’t do a top for it because I planned on getting a piece of stone.
The team meets with 3 clients to bring their vision into a reality
Wow, this build is about to be INSANE. I can’t believe that we have the opportunity to work on a build for THE Jocko Willink. Jocko is a retired US Navy officer who served on the NAVY SEALs, and he is also an incredible author and podcaster.
The Pittsburgh Steelers reached out to me to build an epoxy table for their charity auction, and there was NO way I was going to turn this down.
You guys loved the tips we filmed a while ago about epoxy, so we wanted to add more. Since we posted that video in April 2020, we’ve used epoxy a lot and learned so many more tips and tricks.
Today, we are starting a brand new series where I build things out of that thing. That probably sounds a little more complicated than it is, so you’ll just have to trust us on this one and see what’s in store. For the first episode, we will upgrade the average cereal bowl to include cereal into the bowl.
In the last episode of this series, we were seriously impressed with how the concrete patio turned out (if you haven’t seen it, check it out here). After seeing what we did with that patio, the outdoor stairs looked even more tragic than before.
Hey guys! I’m bringing you ANOTHER episode of my Workshop Cooking series. For this one, we’re cooking up a Killer Chili that had two of my employees in tears and one of them calling their mom to tell her how delicious it is. Right now, it’s cold outside and I’m HUNGRY. Let’s get started.
Hey guys! Happy first day of October. In my latest build, I’m going to celebrate my favorite season by creating an EPIC swing set and fire pit on my in-law’s property. For the build, I removed a dead pine tree and replaced it with an AWESOME outdoor feature piece.
For part 3 of my epic deck-building series, I dive into my waterproofing system. But as I continue to lay down my decking, I come across the consequences of my own poor planning.
Because I love yinz so much, I dropped part 2 of my EPIC deck-building series as fast as I could. During this build, I dodged some rain, used some huge tools, and had a total blast framing up the deck.
