    Flower boxes and driftwood shelves
    A mini outdoor kitchen and greenhouse
    And many more!

    Invest energy and love into your garden and porch and turn it into a personal oasis where you can unwind with a cup of coffee and a book, work on your gardening, or play games with the kids using the wooden pieces you have constructed with your own hands.

      A. To make the kitchen island’s frame, join the long pieces of lumber with screws.

      B. Attach the short pieces with screws to make a box.

      C. The back is anchored by attaching screws on the upper board at the back of the box. You can add a small shelf with brackets onto the back too; it’s always nice to have a shelf above the sink for clean dishes and other miscellaneous items.

      D. Screw on the planks for the bottom shelf.

      E. Now it’s time to make the mold for casting the concrete work surface. I like to use shuttering plywood for my mold. Saw pieces to make a small, shallow box.
