June Build Calendar: What's on the Workbench This Month

June is here and the shop is humming. I always love this time of year — the days are long, the garage door stays open, and there's no shortage of motivation to get things done. This month's content lineup is packed, and I wanted to give you a sneak peek at everything coming down the pipeline so you can plan along with us.

What's Coming This June

We've got a full month of builds, tutorials, and community content lined up. Here's the overview:

Picknic table build — a simple, solid folding picnic table you can knock out in a weekend. I'll walk through every cut and every joint so even first-timers can follow along.

Finishing deep dive — stain versus sealant, when to use which, how to get a finish that lasts outdoors. This one gets asked about constantly and we're finally doing a full breakdown.

Community project spotlight — I've been collecting your submissions and there are some seriously impressive builds in the queue. You'll see them this month.

Garage workshop setup — tips for making the most of a small or shared space. Whether you're working in a one-car garage or a corner of a basement, there are moves you can make to work smarter.

Joinery fundamentals — screws, nails, and pocket holes each have their place. We'll break down exactly when to reach for each one.

Father's Day gift builds — this is a big one. I'll have a full gift guide of builds you can actually finish in time for the third Sunday of June. Start early.

How to Follow Along

Posts go up Monday, Wednesday, and Friday — every week. If you want to make sure you don't miss anything, subscribe to the blog (scroll down for the signup form) and you'll get a notification each time something new drops.
