A new twist on an old favorite!!!!!!

I looked at my original Nintendo unit and decided that I wanted to make it as much fun or more fun than when I originally got it. I already had one powerpad, so I looked on KSL and found a second one. Then based upon the scrap wood I had at my shop I designed and built an arcade for my Nintendo. It turned out great. I hooked up my Playstation 2, Nintendo, and Wii. It is a lot of fun.

 My family and I love it a ton, we all are already enjoying it.

Bored? Just a little!

Ever have those moments when you get bored. Well I do to, except I have dangerous things to play with. Like what? How about some nails and a torch!!!!!!

Takes stick figure drawing to a whole new level, don't you think?

Yes I am still a dork!!!!

This blog is dedicated to the child that never grew up in side of us. I bought a sword of omen from Amazon.com. It was before some of the better ones out now. This is what it looks like (for those that don't remember the Thundercats).

Now I needed a sword plaque that would be worthy of such a gem. Good thing I have access to an acetylene torch. So first I cut out and polished the metal I wanted to use in my plaque.

Then I took a piece of mahogany and shaped it then etched it out the right shape to get the finished product of........

Saving Grandma!

My wife's grandmother had a stroke and needed some extra help to keep her safe. One area in great need of a safety railing was the front porch. I was called upon with my welder and now her front railing is complete. Sorry for the dark picture I was using a cell phone camera.

Got Caught being good?

This was an idea we had to reward our kids for doing the good deeds that usually go unnoticed. My wife had the idea and of course I had to go to work in the shop. Here is what I built.

After I finished my wife went to work doing her crafty ideas. So some chalkboard paint and regular paint, not to mention a few other things, it now looks like this.

Watch out for those good kids now!!!!!!!!!

Princess Bed

 We had a couple of gift cards to RC Willey, so we went to find out what we could get with them. Never thought we would buy a new bed for our little girl, but we all thought this bed was great.

We really liked her new princess bed, but there was one major problem. Every time the kids would play underneath it they would pull down the bed skirt. Well as you can imagine my wife and I got tired of putting it back up. Took me two days in the garage and a little imagination; however we resolved our problem. Now her bed looks more like this.

Certainly my wife needed to decorate or give it that final touch.

This one is dedicated to my sweet little girl. I built this bed for her. Just some Progressive photos from beginning to end product. Around a year and a half Kaitlyn started to crawl out of her crib all the time because she was so tall. It was time for a bed. So after looking around and not seeing anything we liked we decided to create our own. Here is what it turned out like. I turned the top of the foot board and head board on a lathe.  The rest was pretty simple from there. 

  

 

This was a small step as we are preparing for her little brother to go into this bed we modified a new bed for our little princess which I will post at a new time.
