Trash to cash

28 inch log stove, made from an old air compressor
Legs came from the steel frame of an RV I parted out

Door and ash tray were cut from the front and remounted,  The door with hand forged hinges
The ash pan came from a chunk of the old fuel tank from the dump truck, the tank leaked
I bent the stack mount out of some old scrap piece I had in a pile

Compressor rested on the flat platform that super sized with a piece of plate.
The top is 20 inches wide and 24 inches deep
I am going to put it in the house for aux heat

However it is for sale

Christmas Day, Arthur is firing his bow for the first time

This bow came from an oak log a local tree service dropped off,  Along with couple of bow blanks I cut a dozen 2 inch slabs 7 feet long

Archers 61 inch long bow

While attending an Indian pow wow in Macon Arthur decided he wanted a bow. 

 There was a vendor making them in a traditional way.  We watched for about an hour.  This is my third attempt.  I have yet to determine the poundage

Cheryl's treasure chest

This is a log that I hollowed out using a chain saw and fire, adding handmade hinges and a handle out of saw blades
The chest is 4 1/2 feet long with an inside width of about 16 inches, started out as play time for me but when Cheryl saw what I was doing she wanted it

The tree's keep coming and so the building goes on.



Kevin & Arthur on the sun-room roof. 

The tree's keep coming and so the saw-milling and the building goes on.

Where will it end?

Imagination and apparently physics have no end.....
