It’s been a LONG time since I stepped foot into a thrift store. But, I was craving for ‘new junk blood’, so on my way back home from an appointment, I swerved into a thrift store parking lot to see if anything spoke to me. As usual, I was about to exit the doors empty handed, […]
Guys, if I’ve ever needed to move to a bigger place to store this motherload of a wood haul, that would be yesterday. Welcome to my front driveway! And if the neighbours don’t fire me NOW… I’d gift them with some old wood. 🙂 Don’t mind the kiddie pool… it’s there for a splash of colour for […]
Pallet hammer organizer for the workshop Loving creating with pallets and pallet wood makes organizing my workshop easy! What it really means is, a pallet doesn’t have to be built, but more, just cut to modify. With a reclaimed wood look that’s impossible to beat! The price is always right too… And that’s a big […]

Organize your tools on an enhanced pallet shelf I cut myself a deal. Whatever I’d put in my single car garage turned dream workshop, it would be: #1. Unique. #2. Super easy to make for others to copy. #3. Hopefully, quite possibly free. #4. Very me. And I do believe I’ve achieved that with […]

Are you ever lost in the mumbo jumbo world of tool talk? Don’t know what to buy or get nor even WHY? I so get it. I’m still learning daily… here’s proof. I had what I regarded as a very nice, not so cheap orbital palm sander. It worked to perfection for the longest time. […]
