    Had some spare time, made a cutting board

    Thanks everyone for the kind words. I don't really wish to debate on the benefits between wood, plastic or glass cutting boards. My preference is plastic because I can abuse them and soak for extended times to sanitize without ruining them. I have used wood before and they do a fine job, I've...

    Had some spare time, made a cutting board

    I think so, I have plenty of wood still to make more if I want another. I kind of just made this one for fun, and because I hate wasting a nice piece of wood. Plus I really don't have much space for it at this time.

    Had some spare time, made a cutting board

    Was gathering up some scraps to burn from the shop and came across a nice hunk of walnut. Walnut being my favorite looking wood, I couldn't just burn it, so I took a little spare time to make this Rubbed in mineral oil and sanded smooth. It's sitting on legs about 1" tall so you can slide a...

    Move over 7-pot, the Chocolate 7-pot and the Bhut Jolokia here comes ...

    Pop vs. Soda vs. Coke

    So I Get Bored

    Rick, that's a really neat thing you have going there! My little brother and my girlfriends little brother are both in the Marine Corps. My whole family pretty much caught the SOT bracelet you did as I was scrolling through. Now we're all wondering if we could maybe talk you into making a few...

    what bones are safe for dogs?

    Im sure their stomachs are tougher than ours, but I dont chance it. Rawhide bones from the store are made to soften when the dog chews on them, making them easier and safer to swallow and digest, whereas real bone will splinter off in nasty sharp chunks and cause all kinds of issues. Sure wild...

    My New Obsession

    Thanks everyone! The name is from Greek mythology, Persephone is the goddess of spring. We found it randomly one day and thought the meaning was appropriate given the time of year. I dont watch a lot of TV, is there someone by that name on Law & Order?
