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!

Tractor Seat Stool     

Rubber feet - not scratch floors

 

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

I think there are a few empty spots that need to be filled on the tree. . . .

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

Update - June 29, 2015

Steve used his smoker at contest in Millard.  Looks Good!!

Smoked Pork

First Place!

Maybe the stand helped just a little bit ??

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

Box Garden - Cedar planks

is it just me, or does this look like
 '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.

The Shifter Coat Hook

Very solid - holding leather coat

Keyhole slots for mounting

Beer pitcher light - Super cool; or super nerdy, still not sure - but would look AWESOME in a bar or a man cave.

Glass Beer Pitcher Light
