Now that beaver has talent
Hmm, maybe I will hire him … or her.
Yep … In the beginning, I did make a lot of firewood

Some have asked when I open my woodworking shop.
New Road Side Stand
Here are a few pictures of the new Roadside-Stand that I have been working on for the past week or so. From start to finish. It turned out not so bad, and will be nice to put some outside things on throughout the summer months. When I get to making them, that is. Ha ha. And … we usually have some fresh veggies, tomatoes and things, that we sell from time to time. The axle on the front is off an old Stage Coach, and the Back Axle is off an old Model T Ford. I just put everything together years ago and came up with this. It was a bit shabby from sitting out front for years, as you can see in the one picture, but all new now, with a steel roof. Anyway, as requested, here are a few pictures.

Wine Rack
Hi folks. Here is a wine rack I just finished. I made two of these last year for a couple folks. It turned out nice and holds 99 bottles of wine. A nice weekend project. The neat part is, if need be, I can make it larger or smaller. I did make one two years ago that held over 400 bottles.
It’s designed, so the wine bottle lies flat, and slopes slightly downwards, which in turn keeps the corks for drying out.
Another happy customer, and by the looks of the wine that they have in it already … I am sure they will be happy. Ha Ha.

Studio Cabinet
Here is a picture of a small Studio Cabinet I made awhile ago. More work that meets the eye with all the drawers. Turned out nice though, don’t you think?

Old Lumber
A picture of how I clean up some older boards using my old Jack Plane.
Doing it this way versus my planer, I can see if there are any nails or ? That might be hidden. Saved me a lot of money over the years, doing it this way. Buying planer blades can get expensive.
Lots of shavings!

Looking for that special Flute
Here are a couple pictures that actually turned out quite nice. My wife took them while we were foraging for that special piece of wood, that I wanted, to make a special one of a kind, Walking Stick Flute.
Sometimes I walk for miles with no luck. Then the next time out, I find it within minutes. Go Figure. Ha Ha.
I did find a piece and the Flute Turned out Fantastic. The customer was very happy. And … that’s all that matters.
