A Fresh New Look and More To Come Soon !

By |June 2nd, 2010

For those of you that follow the activity on the site I hope you noticed the fresh new look. I decided to try and spend a little time to make the site more appealing to the eye. Let me know what you think!

There are lots more things in the works on the site and I’m very busy trying to get it all in place. I’ve completed the tack trunk and delivered it to my daughter. I have much more space in the workshop now. I’ll post some pictures of the final product soon along with the grooming tote and the bandage wrap holder.

What is even more exciting is that I’m putting the final finishing touches on the wood working […]

Recent Activities

By |January 31st, 2010

It’s been some time since I’ve made a post and I apologize to those of you that look forward to my updates. It’s been a very busy summer, fall, and winter but hopefully I’ll soon be back on track in the workshop and some more regular posts on my experiences.

Just to give you an idea of some of the things that have kept me busy;

Tack Truck

I’m still working on the tack trunk as time permits. The grooming tote is done and I’m currently staining the wrap holder. The only things left are the mounts for the wrap holder in the lid, adding the lid supports, and finish staining the rest of the trunk. I still plan on making the […]

New Website Design

By |March 14th, 2009

Once again I’ve changed the website design, but I think you will enjoy the new site.

One of the main reasons that I did the site makeover was that with the old design it was just too cumbersome to add new posts and maintain the site. With the new design it’s very easy to make updates so I’ll hopefully be able to both make more updates to the website and also have more time to spend in the shop 🙂

The new website allows you to add comments to any of my posts. Please feel free to add your comments. I enjoy hearing from you!

You can now also register yourself and create your own userid to use on the website for […]

More web site cleanup

By |March 1st, 2009

A few changes to the website this week but not much activity going on in the workshop. I’m still working on the cabinets to add in the workshop. I’ve completed two of them and have one more to go. Hopefully I’ll have them completed this week.

I will start ramping up with the tack trunk project this week as I’d like to get it completed for Chelsea’s birthday. I’ve created a page exclusively for the tack trunk project. If you are interested in watching my progress keep your eye on that page.

On the website I’ve reworked the menu to make navigation a little easier and also made it easier on myself to maintain. I’ve also cleaned up the Lingerie and […]

It’s not as quiet as it looks!

By |February 19th, 2009

I haven’t made an update in some time, but that doesn’t mean that it’s all quiet and dark in the workshop :-).

I’m still working on designing my daughter’s tack trunk, hopefully within the next few weeks I’ll complete the design and start building. I’ll keep you updated on the progress on the Projects under Construction page.

I needed some cabinets in the workshop to store some of the finishing supplies and to also make some use of that French Cleat that I put up. I didn’t want to spend a lot of time making some beautiful kitchen grade cabinets and I also wanted to use up some of the wood I had lying around the workshop so I used the […]
