| "Little Church in the Wildwood" Bird Sanctuary! |
Check it out! Here's something brand new:
Ben's Country Woodshop has been busy this past fall and now winter! Hope you enjoy this gallery of new items!
 |
I love this little accent table, don't you?
|
 |
He built the table with some repurposed legs, and also designed
the sign, which is unfinished. |
 |
| Some new bedside tables, along with the peg shelf above |
 |
I absolutely love it! Please don't notice that I spelled
"friends" incorrectly...I've fixed it since.
Thank you, friends. |
 |
This new hutch/cabinet was built for me by Ben's Country Woodshop. It is new, but it
has been 'distressed' to look old. The doorknobs are antique china porcelain knobs found in Ben's Grandpa's workshop.
The finial on top is also an antique, also found in Grandpa's shop. Everything else is new. and beautiful. |
 |
This sofa table is repurposed and new...the legs are from an old table,
and everything else is new.
|
Some other custom items:
 |
| Sofa Table |
 |
| Coffee Table |
 |
| Desk |
 |
This was the Christmas gift for our families this past year...made one for each
family, each one was uniquely finished. This one is finished with some dark
stain on the letters and Formby's Tung Oil for the final finish. Based on I Corinthians 13:13
"Now abide faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest of these is love." |
Here's a sign for the bear watchers:
 |
This is in our front yard...Why? Because it is true!!! Come and see!
|
Fall is on the horizon...and Ben's Country Woodshop will be getting busy again with new ideas and articles for sale at our local flea market and whenever anyone shows interest in something in particular.
Here's a few of the birdfeeders recently made:
 |
We are trying to discourage the Doves from hogging the birdfeeders
so we are trying some different designs, thinking they may not be
able to land on them. |
 |
WRONG! THEY LOVE THIS ONE!
Doves are supposed to be ground feeders...but somehow they've
forgotten that! |
 |
This smaller, sleeker feeder is designed with the Univ. of Florida Gator Fan in mind.
The Cardinals must be fans. They jumped on this one right away! The Chickadees
loved it too, but they are too quick for my camera! Someone said that they
can actually see bright colors and are attracted to them! That's news to me!
If you'd like a bird feeder or birdhouse designed especially for your favorite team,
let us know! We are taking orders! |
Here's a few more colorful birdfeeders:
I love adding new projects/products to Ben's Country Woodshop! This latest addition was made especially for Mother's Day...a Garden Tool Tote, which was built right here in Ben's workshop! Thank you, Ben's Country Woodshop!
 |
This Garden Tool Tote can also be used for
woodworking tools, household tools, or anything
else that strikes your fancy! This was built using
reclaimed wood from Ben's grandfather's workshop, which makes it
extra-special!
|
Here's the latest item built by Ben's Country Woodshop, with a little help from his brother:
 |
| Gotta have some fun after all the hard work is done... |
 |
Steiner Brothers Clowing around after building the first
picnic table...hopefully this is the first of many!
|
 |
Is this one for ME????? I love it!!!!! Thanks, Ben's Country Woodshop!!
By the way...they are for sale...let me know if you want to order one! |
 |
That's more like it...A little "saner" view of the builders...
|
Latest update: We have recently moved to a new home...our "Camp in the Woods" house in the Ocala National Forest...and Ben's Country Woodshop had to get a new place as well. Check this out:
Now that he has this wonderful new workshop, we are anticipating many new things to develop. He is already working on some interesting stacking benches. He's also been creating things for the house that needed to be built...and that list will continue to grow as time goes by. So stay in touch...we hope to add a lot more to this page in the near future!
 |
Christmas Gift for Ben's Mother... Thanks, Ben's Country Woodshop!
Made a great addition to our new television console! Thank you! |
 |
New cabinet in the laundry room! I love this
because it can hold lots of things in a very handy way.
The drawers help me to not have to squat and reach into deep dark
cabinets to find things like plastic bowls and lids! The upper part is for other
heavier items that I needed to have at arm's length instead of stooping and squatting to pick up.
This was lovingly created for me by my son to help "save my poor old back".
Thank you, Ben's Country Woodshop!! (notes from Ben's Mom) |
Adding something new again!
 |
Newest item: a DVD/CD bookcase, sized
especially to hold CD's and DVD's. |
 |
| this was a special order item! Great idea! |
Here are a few more new additions...love these country benches...
 |
| This is a great little Shaker Step Stool! I love the fact that you can hold on to it when you step up on the step! Us "older" folks need all the help we can get! |
It's exciting to see the new ideas coming out of Ben's Country Woodshop everyday! Now if he could sell a few of these we'd be really on the road to something big!
 |
| A stackable shelving unit/cubby for a kid's room or crafts... |
 |
| An adorable mini-bench...for the workshop, bedroom, kid's room, or wherever! |
Ben's Country Woodshop hasn't been totally idle lately...just busy with other things and not much time to spend on woodcrafting. But these great new items could be a great hit...simple ideas to decorate the original items and bring new life to what could be hum-drum. Got any ideas you'd like to share with us? Have workshop...will build!! We are hoping to add some new items very soon...that are actually reclaimed, repurposed, renewed antiques and "old classy junque"...Keep watching! Got any ideas for what to do with a basket of antique china doorknobs...and old table top and mismatched wooded legs...and other various sundry items? Share your ideas with us and we will try to make it work!

in a deep cranberry/burgundy...great accent piece as well as very functional for storing
extra blankets, pillows, towels, or even toys! |

deeper and has a beadboard back. It would look
absolutely fantastic in any den, study, or office...

your collections of special books! |

This is a really neat Shaker 3-Step Stool, which
makes a great plant stand too! |

 |
This narrow shelf is so unique...you'll want one
for every room in the house. Perfect for small books,
knicknacks, dvd's, cd's...collectibles....I don't think this
particular shelf could be duplicated...it's design is so unusual.
But we could try! |
And the ideas keep coming!
History of Ben's Country Woodshop:
There once was a young man who couldn't find any work to do...no one would hire him, so he thought, "I'll just start making things with my own hands...learn some new skills, and make gifts for the family and friends." So, he started accumulating some scrap lumber, some borrrowed and some purchased tools, and built himself a workbench and a workshop. Day by day the ideas started flowing...he started out with birdhouses,
A Log Cabin Birdhouse
Another Baby Cradle
A "Bird Sanctuary" Chapel
A Garden Cottage Birdhouse
and some Laundry Room Cabinets for his mother...
An Oak Bookshelf
Another bookcase, a DVD bookcase...
And another bookcase...
And last, but not least...
a Bird Feeder for the backyard birds...
And more Birdhouses for loved ones and friends...
"Home Tweet Home"
The End...No...the Beginning!!!
The DVD Shelf Unit...holds DVD cases, CD's , knicknacks and paddywacks!!! Slim lines fit in narrow places...
Keep watching for further "developments"!!
