Too Much Work-Not Enough Workers!
I am blessed to receive phone calls and emails almost daily asking me to fix this or build that. I am honored people seek me out but frustrated I can't help more people with their projects. I'm just swamped. All the craftsmen I referred people to are swamped! The Coaching program has helped. I have been able to get out o....err, help people work on their project with a little guidance and encouragement. The problem is there just are not a lot of craftsmen left. All my mentors are either retired or dead. We need younger people stepping into the trade and providing services. HHhhhmmmmmm..... that gives me an idea......Here's to a Better 2021 !!!
COACHING AVAILABLE
Finally, after many encouraging emails and phone calls, I have launched a coaching program. Not the same as a classroom setting, coaching does offer many benifits to those who don't want the time and expense of travel, don't need a 6-hour class to find the answer to a 15-minute question, or simply can't attend an in-person class.Using our smartphones, Zoom, Skype and email I will answer all your woodworking and other questions or walk you through a project. Bob from Pittsburgh is making great progress on a wood canvas canoe restoration. Stacey from Indianapolis got her husband a 2-hour session for Christmas....opps! Use your time all at once or break it up into many small sessions. $45 per 60 minute session. Visit my store for more information.

Bullet Pens
This unique pen is made from two of the most popular rifle bullets in the US: The Springfield .30-06 and the Winchester .308. The .308-06 bullet is a 30 caliber round introduced to the US Army in 1906, replacing the earlier .30-03. It remained in service through World War I, World War II, the Koren War, and the Vietnam War. The .30-06 developed a strong following among big game (...more)
Wood Blocks
A local food columnist "just loves the feel and balance" of these forks. Handmade from local hard maple, these forks are a pleasure to use; toss a salad, stir roasting walnuts or sweat some onions. Finished with a little coat of walnut oil (will NOT go rancid, NOT made from petroleum). (...more)
