Fun With Wood

Free Stamp Set of the Month – That's the Ticket

Jeff has always liked to tinker, with wood, with metal, with plaster, it doesn't matter. He took art in school and can do pretty much anything.  He has a Shopsmith but didn't really have room to do much with it in the little red barn, but a few months ago he had a bigger shop built and he has been setting it up and "playing".

Look what he brought in to me a couple weeks ago.

It is a little jack knife made out of wood. It even has the different colors like a real one.

015 copy
He even put that little gouge thing on the "blade" to open it.

017 copy
Isn't it cute? It just sits on my desk. You could use it as a letter opener.

So Eric plays with these toys/figurines/computer people called Skylanders, and he has like over 60 of them and they were all over his room, on his dresser, in the closet, on his tv stand. So we looked around to find some sort of shelf for them and couldn't find one, so Jeff used his handy dandy Shopsmith and his amazing brain that can just figure stuff out, and made this…

011 copy
Pretty snazzy eh? Of course it is filled, and Eric says he needs another one…ha!

Well this is a quick non-stamping post, but I just had to brag about my hubby.

Have an awesome Saturday and thanks for stopping in.

    wow, he is very clever…. I loved the knife. I think my hubby carries the real thing in his pocket. I'd prefer yours, I would be so inclined to cut myself…. and any man that make shelves, is truly a godsend….lol. My craft room is just full of them… yep, you must keep him or share him….LOL…

    These are wonderful items. Jeff really is very talented and I'm glad he is getting to enjoy his new space! I don't blame you for bragging on him at all!

    Di, the Skylanders storage system is awesome! My daughter is a junior in HS and loves the game. She plays on her Xbox (that she saved up for to buy for herself). Her Skylanders figurines are now barely fitting on a little phone table we have near the TV. Had to show her Eric's collection in your post. Her comment was, 'Wow! He's got a lot!' I think you just have my husband a job to do out in the shop! 🙂

    I am just in awe…that skylander display has to be one of the coolest things. It would be so neat to be able to buy something like that to put in each of my kid's rooms. Kids collect so many things over the year that could be displayed. Right now my daughter is in gymnastics. She has a few medal holders, but at the rate she is going, I have to think of a long-term better way to display all her medals. If your hubby can think of anything brilliant, please send me an email!

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
