Woodworking Tip Money Maker
Money Making Tip: Don’t overlook supplying other crafters with unfinished or partially assembled pieces as a steady source of income. (About 30% of our custom business was along these lines.) Many crafters would be thrilled with a reliable source for base projects for their tole, decopage, woodburning, country and folk art and other specialties.

Had some fun with this Rudolph sign. The project plan calls for using all the same thickness of boards but for its snout, I used a thicker wood so it would stand out more.

Sliding Screen Door for the Garage
The attached garage is a place we use to store firewood during the winter. Usually we can keep about a cord at a time. For some time now I’ve wanted to have a screen door at the entrance to allow a cross breeze with the windows on the opposite side of the garage. It would help keep the humidity down, which is something I’ve noticed a lot this year.
So I present to you the nothing fancy sliding screen door.

Mason jar spice rack
I like having ingredient out where I can see them, maybe its due to the years working in the bakery where everything was on open shelves, easy to get and see. Whether its for easy access, seeing when we’re getting low on some ingredient or inspiration on the next recipe.. which reminds me, I have a jar of dried apricots looking to become a tasty treat. 🙂

Helping out where possible
Its important to give back to the community when and where you can. For my wife and I, we have taken on the responsibility to take some of our time and resources to ensure the upkeep of the local cemetery that is adjacent to the Kings United Church, located on South River Lake in Loch Katrine, Nova Scotia. I soon learned that there are 5 graves that do not have markers. I just couldn’t see letting that continue. I have no relation to anybody buried there but I truly felt it important that each grave be marked.
