Here are my 10 favorite DIY projects from Ryobi Nation! I have been posting DIY projects on Ryobi Nation for a couple years now but today I thought it would be fun to share some of the projects on the site that other people designed.  Even though I am known for my simple modern designs but I appreciate a variety of different styles and Ryobi has assembled an all-star team of designers and makers to contribute DIY projects.  Here are my 10 favorite projects!

Ana White is a DIY legend and it is because of practical yet stylish projects like this Outdoor Sofa Sectional.  Outdoor furniture is quite expensive and the simple design allows DIYers to add value without needing a full wood shop.  When I first saw this stylish sofa I was blown away to learn that the entire thing is made form 2x4s!

By DIY Pete

I was so excited to see Pete experimenting with super creative ways form concrete.  Making curved pieces can be intimidating for beginners but Pete come up with a very clever process for making it easy.  I think this same technique could be used to make an awesome concrete planter.

This handy potting bench looks straight out of a high-end home and garden catalog yet can be easily made out of affordable 1x4s and 2x4s.  You could reclaim wood from old shipping pallets if you wanted to make it even cheaper to build.
