Ten Easy Woodworking Projects
I’ve built a lot of stuff with wood in my life, but I do not consider myself a “woodworker” by any stretch of the imagination. When I evaluate a project that uses wood, personally, what I look for is the maximum cool result for the least amount of technical skill and work. Here, then, are ten of my personal favorite bangiest-for-the-buck wooden projects from the vault. Enjoy!
Recipe: Chipotle Black Bean Pizza
Chipotles add heat and a warm, smoky flavor to most dishes. In the case of this pizza, they replace traditional tomatoes or tomato sauce, while lending a Tex-Mex flavor to one of America’s favorite quick dishes.

How-To: Make a Shrinky Dink Bracelet
Cathe Holden has a tutorial up on Country Living’s web site on how to make a Shrinky Dink bracelet which showcases her collection of vintage ephemera. Don’t worry if you don’t have vintage clip art lying around, the project includes two PDFs with 34 pre-sized vintage images for you to use! [via Twitter @modpodgerocks]
