    Woodworking Plans

    My son has all the metal fab tools. It has taken me too long to acquire my woodworking tools and my shop that I build when I retired. I worked out of my garage for many years and when I retired a wood shop was one of my priorities. I would never sell my tools... When I mentioned to my...

    Woodworking Plans

    I collect all kinds of wood for projects. I recently tore down an old cedar fence on my side yard that was pretty well gone. I love to make projects out of scraps and leftovers. I'm currently using the cedar fencing to build a log cabin bird feeder I designed last year. A couple of weeks ago...

    If you do not have a slicer....

    I just purchased the slicer for $49 on sale at Cabela's. I got it 2 days ago and sliced my venison bacon with it. Works great. The only drawback is you have to hold the on switch on with your left hand while you slice. Once I got the hang of it all was good. My venison bacon was 7½" square and I...

    My homemade smoker comes to life

    I have some old redwood planks 2½" thick in my barn. They are from an old flume the was used to pipe water for irrigation. Water had been in them for 75 years. I don't suppose redwood would cause a problem for just smoking sausage. I wouldn't have to use any insulation with them. Now I...

    My homemade smoker comes to life

    I'm thinking on building a smoker similar to this one for smoking sausage. Do you have a thermostat connected? Several years ago I built a large dehydrator using a small fan and a heat cone that screwed into a regular light socket. I installed a thermostat and it worked like a charm...
