Here’s out top 10 most popular woodworking projects on Workshop by pageviews:
1. Cordless drill storage charging station by @Wayne
Passionate craftsman Wayne has shared many fantastic projects with the community, but none have been as popular as this very clever storage solution for cordless drills. Wayne also made a fantastic second version, and we have published a full step-by-step guide to making your own.
2. New workbenches by @Rodney
We admire the research that went into this practical workbench. Rodney had “never built anything serious” previously, but his planning work to create plenty of storage and work space really paid off.
3. D.I.Y. Google AI assistant by @AndrewJones
We love the juxtaposition of cutting edge tech (building your own Google assistant using a Raspberry Pi micro computer) and housing it in a wooden case crafted by hand. Experienced woodworker Andrew even shared a comprehensive how-to video for making your own.
4. D.I.Y. Workbench by @Baggs
Almost too good to use as a workbench, this popular project used a pine frame and ply for the benchtop. Let us know if you would like to build something similar and we will be happy to help.
5. Bench seat made with handtools by @AndrewJones
Made entirely with hand tools, this wonderful bench seat features traditional tenon joins rather than any glue, nails or screws. It was made using pine and Andrew applied three coats of Danish oil.
6. Folding workbench by @pats6182
This impressive first project was inspired by a design from Better Homes and Gardens.
7. Bath caddy shelf by @Wayne
Crafted from an old dining tabletop dissected using a table saw, Wayne carved a slot for an iPad, recessed pockets for tealight candles and a wine bottle, and even a cut-out for a wine glass.
8. Bench seat using pine sleepers by @cadsman
This bench seat took about three hours to build from scratch. Creator cadsman loves the wedges at each end and generously shared detailed plans for replicating the project.
9. Power tool cabinets by @Arcc
Bunnings Workshop members have greatly admired the detailed work in these bespoke cabinets. It is so satisfying when everything has its place.
10. Twin garden seat by @WoodenGregsWood
Built with treated pine based on a design from Buildeazy.com, Greg recommends changing the middle table into a cooler with flip-top lid so you wouldn't even have to get up to get a new drink.
