SAFETY FIRST!

Thunder is finally ready with proper gear to assist with Welding.

Thunder the Wonder Bunny is ready for welding!

How do you turn this thing on?  Can I lick it?

I am working on a new concept idea -  here is the centerpiece for a light fixture I am working on.  I am not sure what 'genre' this fists in.  Makes me think of a lunar lander made by the creators of Madd Maxx.  It is exactly what I was trying for.

Currently waiting on a few fixture parts to arrive.  Will post pictures of the complete project when done.

Ball Jar and Rope lamp, at the Farm.

Sandie found the bracket and jars, and the rest just went together with a nice piece of maple for the back board.

the bracket makes the light!

bulbs look good!

Architectural Salvage Coffee Table

Coffee table made from oak, steel angle iron and antique floor air return.  Some of the oak is construction salvage; the steel is from network wiring race and a bed frame, and the air return grate was obtained at a junk sale.

We found the air return floor grate at a farm yard junk sale with 'the Paula'.  I picked it up with this project loosely in mind.

Here are the original parts - air return grate and
metal from wiring rack

Thanks for the parts !!

I like to have the canine assistants in the shop to help with projects.  I wanted a way to open the garage door, yet keep them from running into the street or from chasing squirrels in the front yard.

I think I have it figured out.

'Cattle Panel' sections from Tractor Supply - I cut
them into shorter lengths and connected 
them using chain links. 

A couple of eye bolts in the garage door
moulding.  Slip the grate over it and 
drop a piece of rebar through the 
eye bolts

Puppies stay in garage and have run of the back yard
(Doggie door in back of shop).

Coat hook rack - Walnut base and hooks made from up-cycled tools.

The lighter colored steel contrasts nicely with the darker Walnut.
 Happy with how this one tuned out. 

Walnut turned out really good

Scrap iron and wrenches.  Lacquer finish on the wood.
