| What's been Happin'n: 
 
 
				The 
				timing for this 
				project was overdue, but I made time to finish it.  
				It's been a few years since my last
				art project so I 
				decided to make
				
				another one.  My oldest daughter asked for help with 
				something at her work. I gladly excepted and now
				
				she's back in business.

						Room Project 1 | 
					8-8-25 |  I have several new projects to work on 
				thanks to my daughter and son-in-law as they work on
				
				a new game for 
				Open Door Escape Games.  Our granddaughter is having her first 
				birthday and I 
				made her something 
				that should help her in the future.  My daughter hit me up again about making 
				her another project. This was a
				
				fun one to make 
				so be sure to check it out.  
                  
                    |

				we've been doing right here. 
                  
                    | Escape 
						Room Project | 
					5-17-25 |  The kids asked me to help out with another 
				project for their Escape Room, which is always a fun time. But 
				this one weighed me down more than any other. To see what I 
				mean you can read all about it
				
				here. 
                  
                    | Gifts 
						For The Family | 
					4-26-25 |  I made some
				
				presents for a 
				few family members, which I hope will come in handy for them.
				 I just found a project that I had worked on 
				but was forgotten about, until just recently that is. How long 
				you ask? More than four years ago. Yes...I know...but 
				here it is.
				 My daughter asked me to make some steps, 
				but not just any old steps because these will be
				
				used by animals. 
				 I made some shelves that will hold some
				some special projects. See what I came up with and
				
				how I made them. 
				 What do elastic bands and a bad back have 
				in common? 
				Read on to find 
				out. Look what happens when you see a photo of
				
				something online.  I had an opportunity to make another 
				project out of wood and metal. Now this is something I really 
				enjoy and you can see what I've been working
				
				right here.   I had a request by my daughter Tracey, to 
				make her something she's been wanting. After hearing about it, I 
				couldn't wait to 
				get started on it.   
                  
                    | 
						Christmas Presents | 
					12-8-24 |  I made some presents for a few people, 
				which should help out in the kitchen. To see what I've been 
				working on you can check them out by

						Birthday Present | 
					11-23-24 |  One our granddaughters is turning three 
				years old so I made her a
				
				birthday present. 
				Drop in and see what I made her. As you know my daughter Tracey was recently married and 
				to honor them, I made the happy couple a wedding gift. Check out 
				what I made them
				
				right here. My daughter just got married and she asked 
				me to make a couple of things for her big day. This was a
				
				fun project and 
				she looked beautiful on her wedding day.  I made a few more projects for my daughter 
				and son-in-law and this will be the last update for their Escape 
				Room because it's now open for business. Drop in to see
				
				what was made and 
				what the end result looks like. I made another item for my daughter and 
				this time it was
				
				all metal construction, 
				which was a fun project. 
                  
                    | Metal 
						Cutting Saw Stop | 
					7-31-24 |  Taking cues from my last saw stop, I made 
				another one for my metal cutting saw this time. But does it work 
				good? 
				Drop in and find out.  This project goes hand-in-hand with the 
				Lock Wheels below as they are in the same room when you play the 
				game. If you've never heard of the term Buzz Wire, then you're 
				not alone, but you can
				
				find out more right here. I made some items for my daughter's Escape 
				Room business again. This was
				
				another big project 
				so sit back and relax.  Here are a
				
				few pictures of the second 
				spice rack that I made, installed and looking really 
				good!  My daughter Tracey, wanted me to make her a 
				spice rack, which sounded like a fun project so naturally I told 
				her I'd build it. Get comfy because this was a big project with
				
				lots of pages and pictures. This project goes hand-in-hand with the one 
				below this one (Steel Cage). So what am I making this time? 
				Something to make my life easier
				
				when you have a dog.   What does a new pet and your backyard have 
				in common? Well, it might mean that a few things could get 
				chewed up if you're not careful. But I'm getting ready to 
				mitigate that 
				with this latest project.

						Christmas Presents | 
					12-26-23 |  I have three granddaughters and I decided 
				to make them all something for
				
				Christmas. 
				However, this was a last minute thing but I made it in time so 
				it all worked out.  
                  
                    | 
						Christmas Decorations | 
					12-3-23 |  I made some Christmas decorations for my 
				house. See what I've working on
				
				right here. 
                  
                    | Garage 
						Tunes Upgrade | 
					10-7-23 |  The media player that I made years ago 
				hasn't been working that well so it's time to correct this 
				problem. I did
				
				some upgrading 
				and now things work much better.  
                  
                    | Father 
						- Daughter Project | 
					9-25-23 |  My kids went to a concert and when they 
				returned one of them wanted me to build her a house, with her 
				help. Check out what we came up with
				
				right here. I helped make a chair my daughter's business, 
				which goes in the same Escape Room as the Electrical Box below. However, this chair is not 
				the conventional 
				style that most people are use to
				
				so check out what I worked 
				on this time. I was asked to make another prop for my 
				daughters Escape Room, which I gladly accepted. This one has 
				lots of pictures so get comfy and check out how 
				I went about it.  It's been awhile since I've worked on any 
				kind of knife, but this ones been on my mind for a long time. 
				See what kind of 
				wood I used along with the 
				blade that it's attached to.  I've been wanting a smaller outfeed table 
				for my table saw and I finally decided to
				
				make one.  My granddaughter has a birthday in May so I 
				made her a Lego table. What's a Lego table? If you don't know then 
				you can 
				check out what I 
				came up with in my latest project.  I've been wondering what to do with a few 
				scrap parts that I've had for years, but now I have a project 
				that I can use them for. To see what I'm talking about, you can
				
				check it out here. The saw stop that I made years ago worked so 
				good that I made one for my son-in-law.
				
				But this new one 
				has some improvements that makes it even that much better than 
				the original one. My daughter requested a small change to
				
				a gift I made for her 
				so this is what I'm working on this time. One thing I really like doing is making 
				things for other people. This time I
				
				surprised my 
				daughter with something that she mentioned to me while we 
				were talking one day.  I made another box on my bandsaw but I 
				didn't give this one away. You can see 
				what I came up right here. What happens when you forget to post 
				something? Well, that's exactly what happened with this project 
				from many years ago. Which one you ask? You can find out
				
				right here. I decided to upgrade my planer after using 
				my upgraded tablesaw because that worked out really good. Check 
				out what I
				
				changed right here. My 
				bandsaw works even better now that I've worked out some 
				small problems and made some changes. Check out
				what 
				I've been doing in my spare time. I finally made some much needed
				
				shelves that only 
				took a couple of days. Check out what I came up with. I made
				
				a special rack 
				for my daughter, which came from a picture that she sent me, and 
				it will be used at her Escape Room business.  
                  
                    | 
						Tablesaw Upgrade | 
					12-31-22 |  I bought something for my
				
				tablesaw that 
				should make life easier for me in the near future.  
                  
                    | 
						Christmas Present | 
					12-24-22 |  I made a gift for my daughter and used my 
				bandsaw to make it. This was my
				
				first time doing this 
				but won't be the last.  
                  
                    | Escape 
						Room Project Part 2 | 
					12-17-22 |  In part two of this Escape Room build, I 
				was asked to also make some boxes that would go into the same 
				room as the electrical switch. If you'd like to see how these 12 
				boxes came out 
				you can check them out here. 
                  
                    | Escape 
						Room Project Part 1 | 
					12-8-22 |  My daughter is keeping me busy working at 
				her Escape Room business, building whatever she needs. This time 
				I'm making something out of 
				
				wood and brass
				so let's see how it went 
				together. 
                  
                    | Early 
						Christmas Present | 
					11-24-22 |  I love making gifts and this one should 
				make life easier while
				
				cooking on the stovetop.  
                  
                    | 
						Birthday Present | 
					10-31-22 |  Our granddaughter is turning three years 
				old so I 
				made her a present.  I modified some
				
				clamps that I 
				have and now they work even better.  I've bought a few different wood and metal 
				working machines over the years and thought I'd tell you more 
				about each one, so I 
				made a link to each one if you wanted to learn about 
				them.  My daughter's birthday is in September so I
				
				made her something special 
				this time. 
                  
                    | Work 
						Shop Upgrade | 
					8-29-22 |  I finally
				
				fixed something 
				that has been bugging me for years and it was very easy to do.
				 
                  
                    | Food 
						Serving Tray | 
					8-25-22 |  I modified an older project and made it 
				into something slightly different for my daughter. See what I 
				changed for her
				
				right here.  
				Do you get tired of hanging clothes on your door molding? Yeah, 
				so do we so I finally changed that by making a
				
				clothes hanging rack.  
                  
                    | 
						Another Cutting Board | 
					8-9-22 |  
				My daughter Stephanie wanted a
				
				custom cutting board 
				for her new place so I made her one.  
				I made another
				
				art project so if 
				you'd like to see what I made this time be sure to check it out. 
				I made a few more
				
				cutting boards, 
				and was paid for two of them. Check out what I came up with this 
				time. 
				I added a base to my wooden chest because I always thought it 
				was missing something. See what it took to build it and
				
				what it looks like now. 
				My son-in-law needed a
				
				portable vise so 
				I made him one for Father's Day.  
                  
                    | Table 
						and Benches | 
					6-16-22 |  
				I made a table and two benches along with one really long bench. 
				See what it took to build them and what they will be
				
				used for right here.  
				My daughter Angela wanted me 
				to make her a new 
				game board for Easter. 
				This was a fun project and it works great. 
				
				Inspiration 
				happens in many different ways, and this time it was from 
				Interweb. 
                  
                    | 
						Another
						Christmas Present | 
					12-27-21 |  Here are some other gifts I made for Tracey 
				and Angela. I can't wait for them to use them because
				
				that means it time to eat.
				  
                  
                    | 
						Christmas Present | 
					12-27-21 |  Making gifts for family and friends is 
				something I really like doing. This year I made my
				
				oldest daughter Stephanie 
				something that she saw me making for her grandfather earlier 
				this year.  I made some game boards for my kids, but to 
				find out what kind I built you'll have to
				
				click here. If you like to know what the weather is 
				doing or going to do, a weather station can do all that...and 
				more. 
				See what kind I have 
				and some of the upgrades that I did.  My daughter was in need of a smaller 
				cutting board.
				
				See what she designed 
				for herself.

					8-31-21 |  Check out what my
				
				daughter and I made. 
				And we were over 2000 miles apart. I made a little something for my 
				daughter-in-laws birthday. See what I made
				
				right here.

						Bedroom Project Part II | 
					6-15-21 |  See what I've
				
				been making to 
				complement our new bed.  I bought a bigger bed along with everything 
				else that goes with that new purchase. Well, almost 
				everything. 
				See what I've been up lately.  My Father-in-Law had a project for me, and 
				told me to just 'go for it'. See what I've been working on 
				right here.   I made a picture frame to put a Christmas 
				present into. Check out
				
				what went inside it.

						Folding Workbench | 
					1-17-21 |  I've been using an old piece of wood for 
				doing 
				finish work on 
				but that goes out today.  A friend of mine wanted his
				
				car to look better 
				so I helped him out.

						Christmas Presents  | 
					12-25-20 |  It's that time of year again so I made a 
				present for my youngest granddaughter.
				
				Have a seat and see 
				what I made her. 
                  
                    | 
						Christmas Presents  | 
					12-25-20 |  I also made a present for my oldest 
				granddaughter. 
				Stay seated to see what I 
				made her as well.

						A Third Art Project | 
					12-23-20 |  I have fun making things but art projects 
				are something special. See what I've been
				
				working on this time. Awhile back I did some rifle upgrades, but 
				this time I'm upgrading two different pistols.
				
				Check out the 
				changes I'm doing that should make them both shoot better.  
                  
                    | Lathe 
						& Milling Machine  | 
					11-12-20 |  Some of the machines I have can be 
				confusing to someone that hasn't used them before, so I thought 
				I'd 
				show you a little more 
				about them. I made two more lamps but this time they 
				weren't from car parts. Take a look at what I
				
				made this time.  My daughter Angela and her husband Matt, 
				have their own business that I've helped with over the past few 
				years now. However, this project took me a long time to complete 
				because of some changes made by them. Get comfortable because 
				this is a 
				large update. Our grandkids are getting to that age where 
				a small boost can really help out.
				
				Check out what I made 
				to give them some added height.  Having a
				
				work bench is 
				essential but when it does more than just sit there can be even 
				better. 
                  
                    | Happy 
						DIY Home & Jen Reviews | 
					8-8-20 |  I have something completely different for 
				you today, but I'm sure you'll get a lot out of it because it's
				
				very cool. It's that time again, another day another 
				project. But this
				
				project should 
				help me everyday of the year and look nice while doing it. 
                  
                    | 
						Presents for the Family | 
					7-7-20 |  With birthdays and Father's Day coming up, 
				I made a 
				few gifts. And 
				yes I realize that this looks late but I didn't want anyone to 
				see what I made because one birthday was in April.   I bought another new piece of
				
				equipment for the 
				garage. And like the last tool, it should make things easier to 
				make and build now.  I bought a
				
				new tool for the 
				garage, which should make life much easier to make certain 
				things now.

					9-13-19 |  September is birthday month for the kids so

						Another Art Project | 
					7-27-19 |  I had so much fun with my first art project 
				that I decided to try another. And like the last one, I'm not 
				going to say what it is so let's see
				
				what I've been working on 
				this time. I've been wanting to do some work on my 
				rifle and finally pulled the trigger and
				
				bought some goodies 
				for it.  I had some time on my hands between 
				projects and decided to make something to bring back some good 
				memories of my old hot rod.
				
				Check out what I made that only took a few hours.  It's my granddaughter's birthday so I made 
				her a gift to play with. Check out what I
				
				made for her second 
				birthday. My flag pole has been on my house for many 
				years now, but I finally had to
				
				make an new one 
				after the wind took it's toll on it. However, I don't think this 
				will break that easy this time around.

						Cleaning Rod Holder | 
					2-07-19 |  Every now and then I have an idea that 
				leads its way to
				
				another project. 
				Well, this is the case here so check out what I made this time.   Sometimes I receive emails that need to be 
				saved before I put them in the trash because they're pretty 
				cool. And like the others that I've posted before, here is 
				another piece of history that I wanted to share.

						Machine
						Shop Aids | 
					1-25-19 |  I made a few items to help me while working 
				in the garage. In other words, projects to help me with other projects,
				
				which you can see here. This is something I've never done before 
				and it was really fun to do. Let's see if you can guess
				
				what I'm making this time.

						Christmas Presents 2018 | 
					12-26-18 |  I made my grandson a present that 
				should last him a lifetime. What could that be you ask? It's 
				
				safe 
				to say he should appreciate it more every year.

						Marathon Project | 
					10-20-18 |  This would have 
				to be the longest amount of time that I've ever worked on a 
				project. And what project would that be exactly?
				
				Check out what I just 
				finished.  My daughter, 
				Tracey, had a request for a new project that would be used in 
				her kitchen. Check out what
				
				she came up with. I made some work

					8-26-17 |  It's birthday 
				time for the kids so I've been keeping busy in the garage making 
				some presents. Drop in and
				
				see what I've been working 
				on. I made some 
				plaques to hold some of my deer antlers. See how easy this 
				project was to make and 
				how they came out. I bought a gun 
				case that needs to be custom fit to my firearm, but I needed a 
				way to cut the foam so it looked nice.
				
				See what I came up with 
				to make cutting closed cell foam nice and easy. I've been busy 
				in the garage making some Christmas presents and this time I 
				made two 
				wooden trays that will hold a
				
				decanter set for 
				two members of the family. I also made some
				cheese slicers 
				that I gave as Christmas presents that you can
				
				check out right here.

						License Plate Plaque | 
					7-27-16 |  The day I sold my 33 Ford Coupe I wanted to keep one item 
				before it left my house, the license plate. I wanted to display 
				on my wall but needed to
				
				make a nice plaque 
				for it first. When you use a common 
				kitchen utensil 
				over and over again, sometimes one just isn't enough. I had a 
				request to make another one so we wouldn't have to wait on it 
				being cleaned all the time.  I used some scrap wood to make another project, a
				
				barrel rack. So 
				what exactly is a barrel rack? Read on to find out.  I made a jewelry box 
				that didn't come out like I planned and it almost ended up in the scrap pile. 
				You can check out what I'm talking about

            have a few pictures of two different sunrises, one on the longest day of the
