No matter what you're making out of wood, there comes a time when you've gotta glue it. How handy is it that Gorilla Glue, the sponsor of this issue's Free Plans page, makes a glue called Gorilla Wood Glue?

It glues wood to wood with 20 minute curing and 24-hour drying times: fast enough for those Two Toy Dragsters below, yet sturdy enough for projects like a Country Pine Table or a Memorial Flag Case.

Classic Croquet Set

Here's a project that offers the kind of fun that keeps on giving. As the builder, you'll get a chance to polish your turning skills making the mallets, cart parts, wheels and even the balls! Others will see this as the hard part, but if you enjoy lathe work, the effort will seem like woodworking bliss. Then, after the "tough" part is through, the fun just continues as you put this handmade set to work whenever friends and family gather. Really, you're the only one who can't lose here!

Backyard Barbecue Cart

Barbecuing is a great pastime, but the prep work is a chore - lugging everything from the utensils and hot pads to the charcoal and lighter fluid out to the grill. Build this barbecue cart as a way of saving some effort. It's sturdy enough to wheel around outside and large enough to store one or more bags of charcoal. We're sure it will prove to be a capable assistant to your family's chief outdoor cook - even if that person is you!

Picnic Table

One of the best ways to spend more time on the deck or patio is to build a picnic table and benches. Made of redwood, our design easily seats four adults. The pedestal style provides ample leg room, and everyone gets a generously sized bench. With a little seasonal care, here's an outdoor project that will easily last for decades.

Portable Outdoor Chairs

Nothing beats spending some leisure time in the great outdoors, whether that amounts to a quiet corner of the yard, a full-blown wilderness escape or on the sidelines of the next softball game. Wherever you go, these handy two-piece oak chairs are made to travel. Slide the parts together one way for use or another way for storage.

Hoopback Garden Bench

Graceful curves make the style of this bench timeless, while reclaimed cypress lumber will stand up to the worst weather, season after season. As far as outdoor projects go, this bench requires a fairly ambitious effort and several weekends of time to complete, but its rugged construction will be worth all your efforts.

Veneer Press

Woodworkers have used all sorts of unorthodox ways to flatten veneer, but a veneer press still works best. Here's an effective design you can build on the cheap.

Memorial Flag Case

As we approach Memorial Day here in the U.S., it seems a fitting time to remember and honor those who have served in our armed forces with this plan for a Memorial Flag Case.

Two Toy Dragsters

If yours is the sot of racing family whose summer kickoff includes any part of the Indy 500, the plan for these Two Toy Dragsters should also be a hit with the little (and big) kids in your life.

Country Pine Table

This handy little table weighs in at about seven pounds when made from pine -- making it a Country Pine Table, of course -- but you can make it, including the wedged through tenons on the stretcher that adds strength and architectural detail, from any wood you choose.
