Utility Trailer construction tools storage cabinets
First thing I wanted to do was apply a wood preservative to the floor and areas susceptible to water damage. I had a 4 liter jug of Recochem Copper II Green Preservative in my garage. It was leftover from a project I did about 12 years ago, building wooden cribs and erecting highway signs. It was a full 4 liters so I couldn’t through it out. 🙂

Community center bar storage installation
Installing the custom cabinets went very well and quickly. While there, they had me do a few other repairs and build an adaptable storage shelf.

Gyproc and plaster basement rec room ceiling.
A friend in Heatherton asked if I could help him with a rec room reno. Sure I said! We had to build a bulkhead due to plumbing but it may very well become the new bar area!
This is the before.

Quick and Dirty Router Table
This is about as basic a router table can be. I needed something on a job site and put this 4 board cabinet together in about 10 minutes from scrap wood.

Chainsaw carved wooden bowl
I found a burl cutoff in a forest clearing the other day and instantly saw a bowl. Now, I’ve never carved a bowl before, or for that matter use a chainsaw to carve. But, I’m game to try anything once. And this was fun! Things to note…you need a really sharp cutting chain, a steady hand and preferably a secure place to hold the burl while carving out the bowl. I didn’t really have a secure place so I buried it in a pile of bark mulch near my workshop. Then I started up the saw…

Deck rebuild
A friend asked me to take a look at a deck that was built many years ago. He recently fixed up some of the exterior fencing and now the deck needs some real TCL. Wow…no kidding. An hour into it I had to stop and call him. There’s some SERIOUS rot going on at the house threshold.

Cut off scrap wood box
Nothing glorious about this project. 🙂 Its just 5 boards on 4 wheels, used to store short pieces and scrap wood cut offs.

Deck railing
After this house was built it was up to the homeowner to install deck railings. So we decided to go with a picket style in the front of the house (facing the road) and a glass panel system for the rear of the home (facing the lake). I designed my own framing system for installing the glass panels.

Pool Perimeter Custom Fence part 2
Yes, its been 10 days but the weather hasn’t always co-operated either. Then there’s weekends…all that’s left is the gate and to cut off the tops of the posts. Interestingly, the sound around the pool has changed. Its a lot more crisp and clear.
There were a couple days where it rained hard, thankfully we had the garage to work from to do all the cutting.
