Wood and Metal Projects
Area of Growth
This will certainly be an area of growth as time goes on. But, in the meantime, here are a couple of past projects that I worked.
Vintage Farm Repurposed: Shelf (B)
This shelf unit was made with steel from a manure spreader in the woods of Germantown Hills, IL and wood from recycled oak flooring from a farm north of Metamora, IL.

Hold Dem Lamp
This was a lamp made for silent auction to benefit the Peoria Dream Center a few years ago. The center piece was the box of an old electric fence charger I found on my property. The shade was from our living room ceiling fan quit working.
Little Richard
This is little Richard and he was a retirement gift for a co-worker. He is constructed from engine parts that my co-worker was involved during his career.
Stove Poker
This was one of the training projects during my blacksmiting class. My goal is to expanding my learning and capability in this area in the future.

Little Cabin
My grandson and I made this for a school project. I cut the reclaimed oak flooring slats to thickness. But, he cut every piece to length with a hand saw and used the pin nailer to assemble it. Together we mixed up the clay to packed in between the planks.
