Still puttering away....

Almost done with the furniture refinishing project; but while waiting for paint to dry I made a really cool business card holder.  Actually I made two.  One for my new job and one for sale on Esty.

Thanks for the RR spikes Jani!

My coat, demonstrating the usefulness of the piece!  :)
I really like making the coat hook / wall hooks.  Here is another one, with a FORD theme.
Trunk Emblem (?? - 70's ???)
Shifter Knob - 60's Mustang

I like using the key hole router bit for mounting slots

Peace sign - reclaimed items.  Wagon wheel (50 ") - misc steel items

We didn't want to hang it too high; if you look at it for a little bit, you start to identify the scrap items, and it turns into a 'hide and find' game.
(Can you see the fork?  How about the file?  How many drill bits?  Pliers?  Shears? Spoons?  Crow bar, tire iron, brake tool, chisel . . . what else can you find? )

Audrey had the idea, I welded it up, and Sandie did the paint.

Fire pit and the wine bottle tree

Last Friday, Steve and I made a stand for his smoker.   He is ordering wheels.  Turned out really solid.

Making a box garden.  Still need to fill with compost and soil.


Box Garden - Cedar planks

 'Boot Hill' from the old westerns?

Found a shifter knob at a garage sale a while back.  It really spoke to me, and here is what I made with it.
