House & Garden

Don't know what a jointer is? Planer too expensive? No sweat! You can still make cool furniture! Steve shows you how to use scraps of plywood, old floorboards and some off-the-shelf lumber to make a classic Shaker side table. All in the comfort of The Garage!

This time, Steve takes a single sheet of plywood and turns it into a cool modern coffee table. Think you can't do it? Come see how!

Steve's back in the garage with his coolest project yet. He's making a cigar box guitar, the weapon of choice of the baddest of the delta bluesmen. Check out how you can turn a cigar box and a stick into a real musical instrument!

Need a housewarming gift? Need 100 housewarming gifts? Got a table saw? Steve will show you how to set up jigs and make a production run of his Tea Lights. All you need if a few scraps of wood and aluminum, and you're on the way to making a gift for everyone you know!

In this episode, Steve builds a rustic chair. He'll show you how you can take a few sticks of maple wood and a few simple tools, and create an old-fashioned chair with a modern twist. Then he'll guide you through the process of creating the woven Shaker-style seat.

The premier episode of The Garage. Steve shows you how to make his signature creation, The Breadside Table. Join us soon for more making of the same fun, funky stuff!
