Hey there, I'm Phil...

I’m the creator of Life Hacks & DIYs. You can call me a Piddler, a DIYer, a Woodworker or even a Health Enthusiast (in my day job I'm a Physical Therapist). But regardless of the label, I make stuff that I want instead of buying it or hiring it out. It’s my goal to be able to look around my hobby farm and see things I have crafted with my own two hands. Of course, I still have a ways to go.

I hope you are able to find some tips here that inspire you to pick up a tool you didn’t think you knew how to use and build something. You absolutely can. I also love things to make my life easier so you will find some of those here too. Join me on this do-it-yourself and life hack journey!

  • There's projects to be built - there's stuff that needs fixed

  • About me

    I'm a born and bred Arkansas boy who grew up in town. In 2007 I moved to a place in the country with a huge shop. The rest is history.

    I hope there's a project or two here that inspires you to try something new. If you have the desire to create something, give it a go. Even if it takes you longer than it should (everything does), you will enjoy the process.
