Floor Vent - Rainbow colors

Rainbow paint to match the room decor

Grandbabies live in a very cozy farmhouse.  We decided to put in a floor vent like the one in my grandma's farmhouse.  The old time farmhouses used a floor vent to allow heat to circulate up from the kitchen, and the cold air would settle back down the stairwell.  Their farmhouse is nice and warm, but a little air circulation will always be nice.  Of course we had to give it a little more flair than grandma's old grate.

Dragon Table with Brass inlays

Refinished a vintage find, custom request for brass inlays - dragon patterns.

 

Sun Shade Supports - over fire pit patio

We want to put up a sun shade over the fire pit patio for next summer. 

 

Since there are often disagreements about the proper size of fires being made, it seems best to create a system where the sun shade can be quickly removed before making a fire.  Three stout supports are the start of this project.

 

Note the supports on the two outer corners, and the third support in the back, in the middle of the Lilac bushes.

 

Post with extension and pully

Support attached to bottle railing fence - also has pully on extension

rear support - welded steel hiding in the Lilacs
 

Modular Shop Tool Stand

"Modular Tool Stand" sounds pretty high tech and fancy.  It is not.   I built this out of 2x4 a couple of years ago, and use it to maximize my work space.  Grinders, router, scroll saw and band saw are all mounted on 18x18 boards that 'drop in' the work stand.  Usually the tools are stored on shelf or hanging on wall when not in use.

Scroll saw - on stand

French cleats holding grinders - one is for sharpening (lathe tools) and buffing - other is wire wheel and rough grinder



Band saw hanging on wall - (hole in board and bolt in wall - super fancy)

 Obviously, I also use to paint stuff too.





Custom Art design

Wood = Cherry from Iowa

Metal = Medical Equipment (from a customer's surgeries)

All of that metal was on the INSIDE of a PERSON at one time !!!!

Oak Tie Rack
