After a bit of a break from the shop to do some home painting, I stepped back into the shop this week. This weekend I built a custom piece for a customer, with a busy household. Together we designed a

Over the years I have been asked to build sofa tables. This one here on the bench this past week was for a plant table in a living room where the window was south facing. It is being used for a indoor

This custom piece that I build is one of my best sellers for my customers. I designed this and put it to the test, and the results are, 100% animal proof, well have not tested it on bears. LOL. I have

This week I have been busy building 2 coffee tables with a unique twist. It is a replica Whiskey Barrel coffee table. I made 2 of them. One stained in an Espresso and one stained in an Early American.

I wrote a post earlier today about treating wood used to build vegetable garden planters, and in my post I had mentioned beeswax and milk paint. Milk Paint has been around for centuries, it was even found

This week @gardengirlcanada came to visit me at the shop and gave me a list....You know what that means. Garden season is just around the corner. So she provided me with a few pieces that she needed built

I finally decided to take a day off from the shop today. If your a Woodworker, you understand that this is a rare occasion. So today, after chatting with @gardengirlcanada I decided that I should test

When you have a wood shop, you never have a shortage of saw dust. So today I am going to talk about the various uses of sawdust on the homestead. First lets look at some of the off grid folks who use a

I am relatively new to STEEMIT, and have only posted a few blogs. As many of you know I am a Woodworker. I do my woodworking mostly all winter, when it is unforgiving to paint in the winter, accept indoors

I know it is a little early for Spring, don't get all excited now, but as a business man you must be thinking a season ahead all the time. So I was taking some time today to look at what I made as planters

So here is how the story goes. As many of you know @gardengirlcanada within the homesteaders community, she drives out to my shop and throws a piece of paper on my desk with a picture of a kitchen Island
