Unused Space!

This weekend I decided to use some of the limited unused space that I had in the garage, which doubles as my wood working shop. With this in mind I created a 42" X 86" shelf over the roll-up garage door.





As you can see this is basically a "deck" using the front and side walls of the garage for ledger boards and then a metal strap for the "floating" corner.

Seems to work really well so far! The total cost for this was under $30! What a deal.

April 07 Pens

Three pens were completed today:
This is a acrylic pen turned and finished with a black inlaid gold pen set.




Here we have another acrylic, this one a pencil with a brushed nickel pencil set.


Finally some real wood. We have some paduk on a silver pen set.
This one was turned a bit different. I over-sized the top and put a bit of detail around the middle.
