Hey! I also stumbled upon your website, while looking for gardening stations and makeshift greenhouses. You are an artist, and if you're not already doing so, you should sell your wares! The easel and paint carrier you made are beautiful, sturdy, and will be heirlooms for sure. I'd kill to have those... Anyway I hope you're doing well, and I hope to see new updates! (It says 2000 on your home page!)

Howdy! I was searching for pictures of gardening potting stations online when I came across your site. As a fellow home food gardener, occasional woodworker, and here-and-there adopter of random hobbies (carpentry being one of them), I found your site fascinating. I've been reading your stories about gardening and woodworking projects for several hours more than I planned! Your work is beautiful and clever, your committment to using found and reclaimed objects admirable, and your descriptions and commentary about the projects delightful. Since I saw you like to use the self-watering grow boxes and I know how expensive those things are to buy, I just wanted to let you know that there are several different sets of design plans available on the internet for make-your-own self-watering grow boxes. They can be made very inexpensively out of large plastic storage tubs, rubber or PVC tubing, underwater plant baskets, and some wood blocks or PVC pipe pieces. Since you clearly have the skills and the initiative to cut and build your own things rather than pay too much money for them, I thought I'd mention that as an option. If you need any more information about those plans, feel free to contact me and I'd be happy to direct you to them or share how I built mine. Happy gardening and woodworking!

Really nice site, and really nice work. You have inspired me to build a site sharing my shop advenures as well.
I too shop at HF for disposable power tools. I am fond of the 4 1/2 angle grinder. It is light weight and lasts about about
"$14.95 + tax".

I was looking for pictures of a homemade compost bin and came across your site. Here it is, 3 hours later, and I'm still reading about all of your cool projects. VERY neat!!!

I was googling 'mini greenhouse' for ideas on indoor mini greenhouses in which to start seedlings, and I came across your website. I absolutely LOVE your mini greenhouse. I like how the top swings up. I really like how the sides and top are removable altogether. Might you be willing to send detailed info on that? I'd love to try my hand at building such a piece!

Many thanks.
And many kudos to your beautiful handiwork! it is all very lovely! It has inspired me!

cheers!

As a fellow, dare I say, "semi-professional" woodworker I have to admit, your work looks really good. I have always loved
the way different woods contrast and you seem to pick some of the prettues combinations I have seen. Where do you get your curly maple? I seem to only be able to find it in vanerrs.
Very nice work
