15 Things You Can Build with 2x4s

I’ve been using a lot of 2x4s for my projects lately and it got me thinking – 2x4s are one of the most versatile cuts of lumber. There are SO many things you can build with them – indoor furniture, outdoor furniture, shop accessories, home decor, frame a building – you name it! And one of the best parts is the cost. There’s not much out there that beats the price of 2×4 lumber! So, in the interest of budget-friendly DIY, here are 15 awesome things to build with 2x4s:

Hi,

I'm new to woodworking and really love your youtube video and instructions, great inspirations. May I make a request video or plan? if so can you do one with the folding bench into a picnic table?

Thank you much, HT
