Lifesmart 15" Blue Kamado Ceramic Grill DIY Table

 I purchased this grill at Walmart during a big sale on it.  So of course I needed a table. This grill is for me and I'm excited to get it.  I looked everywhere for plans for a table and could find nothing.  I found pictures of tables for small ceramic grill and just decided to wing it.  I made this on a Saturday.  I try to take Saturday's off if I can.  Of course as soon as I started the build orders started coming in for the pencil shuttle.  I'm guessing the New addition of Handwoven must have come out because the orders are pouring in for that shuttle.  But I finished my little table as quickly as I could.  I took many picture so you could see how it's built.  The  hold is 16.5" and I built the shelf at 15" from the ground.  I put the grill on the shelf then added the top of the table once the grill was in place so I didn't have try and lift it in after the top was on.
Here she is.







And my first steak on the grill.  :)

Creating from memories

 

Sometimes I don't think to post things and then I remember about fathers day this year.  I want to make sure to post about what I made for my father.  Someone may love this idea and want to do the same for a loved one who has lost someone special to them.  So this is a cutting board I cut out.  You can find shapes all over the internet if you want to cut your own out or you can purchase one.  Many places also make this sort of gift if you can't make this yourself.  But here it is and he did cry and he loves it very much. :)   I posted this below on IG

A #fathersday gift I made for one of the most important men in my life. My mother passed away from cancer 1996 and it was hard on us all, but probably the hardest on my Dad. She was his rock and cared for him like someone that loves you more than life would. I found this hand written card of her iconic recipe. Many stories can be told of her making this for us all at the holidays. The way those cranberries had to be cut just right... I hope this brings him more joy than sadness. #happyfathersdaydaddy #Handywomanshop #memories #cuttingboards #makeitworthit

New Mini 2 Treadle Band loom

 I decided to see if a mini version of my 2 treadle loom would be faster.  Well, it is slightly faster but not by much.  I do love it though so I think I'll offer these as well.  When I begin to wind down my shop I will concentrate on making these and the standards as well as box looms and specialty shuttles.  But for now I'll just make these as I have time. 
Here are some pictures of the first one (prototype)

Handywoman Weaving tool

 Sometimes seeing something in a video really helps to get an impression of size of an item so I've decided to do video's on tools as I think of it.
Here are my most recent.

Using stabilized wood to make shuttles!

 I've found a great source for stabilized burls and soft woods and I've purchased several blanks.  They are amazing and great quality blanks.  I do have all the equipment to make my own except for the time to learn and actually do it. :)  One day I will but for now finding a great source is perfect!  Here are a few videos I've done for them as well as some other tools I make and sell.

I hope you enjoy my less than professional video's
