hi Peggy and thank you. i used to build a lot of houses for about 15 yrs . i am not really sure where my ideas come from . whenever i am not building something i am thinking of things to build. i always try to build things that i don't see. it drives me crazy . i have built so many things and i just like to do something different every time. i also get my wood from barns that have either fallen or is about to fall. i like the look of the old wood much better.it has much more character and is all free. it is kind of nice to know that i am giving the old wood a second chance to shine. i have been getting a lot of inquires on how to build them and to sell them. i am also in a woodworking contest and i am currently in first place. i find building relaxing and very rewarding to my mind.:broccoli: :carrot: :carrot: :broccoli: :banana-wa thanks again Peggy there will be more in the near future. |

Holy cow, John, those are some incredible creations!! Way to go!! (We ladies love a man that can work with his hands!!) Ohh! (*slaps self) Oooops, ok, I'll behave (for a while) hehehe. Really, you could teach you know. With your skill, I see big bucks in your future!! Seriously though, I'd pay to have someone mentor my hubby. Bless his heart, he doesn't know one end of a saw from another :o( thanks for sharing your wonderful craft. Hope to see more! |
