Daughter wanted a bench - many versions seen on Pinterest.  She provided the scrap wood and tailgate

Business Card Holder - with a 'spin'

Someone asked for a business card holder with a 'spin.

I mounted a base of Walnut and Oak on a small saw blade using a small 'Lazy Susan'.  Card holder does have a bit of a 'spin'.

Waterfall idea

I wanted to try out a waterfall idea.  I wanted a waterfall that had a small pool of water.  I needed a container or a base to create the small pool.

Started with a steel Air Compressor
tank, cut it in half.

Then added legs to allow overhang on the pond
(maybe counterbalance with bricks on the back side)

After making the basic waterfall structure, I coated the inside surfaces with spray on truck bed liner.  I wanted to remove the metal-to-water contact points.

Then add plumbing, and a pond....

I will be updating the flag stone and waterfall rocks in the near future.  I put this together with what we had in the yard to see if we liked it.  The concept is good, so now it is time to find some flagstone.

Jerry Can Table

While this won't fit in the decor scheme for designers who like to follow the trend, I bet there is a perfect spot for this table somewhere.  Vintage military Jerry Can with oak legs to create a one-of-a-kind end table, hallway table or bedside nightstand.

Perfect for a Zombie-bunker, Post-apocalyptic fortress, Doomsday shelter, Teenagers room, Man cave, Pool hall, Bar, Office, Smoking area, Parlor or living room  . . . I believe Mad Max has one of these in his Foyer (he tosses his car keys and wallet there after a long day of fighting outland road warriors)

I think 'Clem' has finished off the wine.
