For a few weeks now, I have talked about building my son his first toy box. I am happy to say I finished it and within my wife's timeline!

I have never really done wood working before, I have built a few shelves in the garage and in the laundry room but taking on a larger project like a toy box was something I was a bit nervous about.

Thankfully I actually took my time and knocked it out!

Here are the photos of the finished toy box.

I honestly was a bit nervous to post the photos to social media. You know how it is, people are not always the happiest or most supportive and I really didn't want to deal with it because I worked very hard on this project. Boy was I wrong, people left the best comments on the post and honestly I feel so proud of myself for getting it done and in a timely manner.

Now I won't lie, there were a few hiccups throughout the process. One major one was I broke one side of the toy box by trying to stuff a side panel in. I was getting frustrated and took it out on the wall. Thankfully, I was able to fix it and everything came together!

If you are looking to do a similar project or want some other ideas, I suggest checking out the guy below. I posted the video and plans I used to create my box.

What I love about him is he allows you to put your own spin on projects and doesn't hold you to one design.

Overall, I am very proud of what I built and cannot wait to try my hand at another project.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
