How to build a rustic screen door from scratch Adding ‘professional builder’ to my long list of to-dos was really never in my sights. For the past 10 years, I’ve gotten along with my somewhat primitive (rustic) building techniques teaming up reclaimed wood and screws. Easy! Done! Imperfectly perfect! But then there comes a time […]
Once upon a time, I purchased a travel trailer from a friend. Included in the deal were lots of new-to-me supplies. I certainly had a learning curve in front of me! Also included were window screen repair tools. I had never replaced a window screen before, however it felt smart to stock it anyway! I […]
Did you even know I have a table saw? Ohhh, I do. This beautiful sawdust is proof! In fact, I took a pretty photo shoot of this very table saw last summer after spit polishing it, because I had plans to sell it on a bidding site! Let me put it this way. IMO the […]
Reversible DIY reclaimed wood Flower and Apple Farm crate with video Every morning, I enjoy my first cup of brew on my outdoor patio overlooking the mountain view. There’s just something about nature that pulls me outdoors, no matter what the weather. Unfortunately, our BC skies have been filled with forest fire smoke lately, creating […]

Raise your hand if you have tools indoors and tools outdoors and tools everywhere else in between. If you use them everywhere, they scatter! For that reason, this little table top turned tool station in my photo studio got a slight revamp. You may remember this when the vintage creamers held screws. They were cool! […]
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, […]
How to take apart a pallet with no fancy tools! Guys, if I’ve ever needed to move to a bigger place to store this motherload of a wood haul, that would be yesterday. A recent haul . Welcome to my front driveway! And if the neighbours don’t fire me NOW… I’d gift them with some old wood. […]
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 […]
