In all of the magazines, on line drawings and single patterns I have they did not find anything they really liked. The sent me some pictures of stuff they liked. ...

Our middle son is going to be married this fall. Got to thinking about a gift for him. Both him and his girlfriend live on their own so have most of what they need. Thought it would be cool to build them something. Over the Christmas break they came down, we talked about it and they asked for a dining roo...

My wife told me to leave her along and go build something. She wanted a new coffee table. So a plan was hatched. Well I found one in an older woodworking magazine that I have. It is modeled after the arts and craft design. I have built several pieces in the same format. We both like this design. The w...

I got these seeds from my late father in law years ago and have had them all around the house. They are different in that they OPEN after 8pm. That's right. You can watch these literally open in front of your eyes. Then as an added bonus, a HUMMING BIRD MOTH will come to pollinate /extract pollen. We have se...

Doing a bit a bit of cleaning up a little while back, did a run to the local scrap metal yard. While unloading my junk I spied an old tool chest that imho looked salvageable so I brought it home.

In November of 2016, I purchased a crappy bungalow on a beautiful property over looking Picton Harbor. The house had a cement block foundation that was not properly drained and therefore caved in due to frost. The house had little street appeal, no front door and a poor layout. It was built in 1956 a...
