Time to get my day started!

I tinker in graphic design, woodworking, photography and things creative. Here I post various happenings and adventures of my day.

I made Shepherd’s Pie for late lunch. So good! #foodporn #food #eats https://www.instagram.com/p/B7mOpDVBVJu/?igshid=1j109h8ym9soj

Since I haven’t posted in a while, here’s an oatmeal raisin #cookie. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuVCBKqDTjU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eu1deo3c7g94

So I’ve had a stuffy nose for the last few weeks (getting better), figured I’d let the Benz breathe a little easier too with new @knfilters performance air filters I got from @fcpeuro. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsYfETbjNX6/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pza1alw03fdj

Made a whole new batch of butter knives the other day using some offcuts. The pear ones came from a tree that's been in my yard for decades.

It’s practical, and awesome - this #stepstool of birdseye curly maple and quartersawn white oak that I made. Simple cove details for a clean shape. @rubiomonocoatusa 2-tone color scheme of pure/peacock green gives it a modern farmhouse feel. A seat or a plant stand is another optional use. What other colors do you think this would look great in?

[andrewgrehl]

With the weather getting colder, hot beverages will soon be in hand. Protect your furniture with a custom-made wooden #coaster - handmade by me, @designableco. These are great as a trivet for hot pans and dishes too. 20% off thru 10/27/18, most sets with free shipping. Shop at dsgnbl.co/coasters

Besides commissioned builds and inventory, I work on shop projects like this simple #brochureholder made from #walnut offcuts and a scrap of walnut plywood. I love the contrast the exposed core of the plywood has 😍 It does balance very well so I didn’t add a brace, but could if I need to. Coated with @rubiomonocoatusa pure. I made two and already put one in a friends retail business to advertise my services. I’ve always got scraps so will likely make some more with other wood species. Check out my @designableco feed to see the build process. Want to put one in your business, or FOR your business' brochures?

Not just for carrying beverages, you can also carry your favorite condiments as well. And it makes a great gift basket! I built this pine #beertote last week for another vendor at the Wallingford Garden Market and he put together a great #giftbasket with products from other vendors at the market to gift to his daughter. Email [email protected] to order one. #woodworking #handmade #caddy #tote #bottleopener https://www.instagram.com/p/BngjgsjFb3h/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=vbdewrxqaiyd

This iconic treat was one of the basic food groups of our childhood 😁 (see more of the build at @designableco ) ・・・ On a warm summer day, a classic treat like an @hphood #icecreamsandwich really hits the spot. How’s this for a more accurate serving size? 🤣 #woodworking #icecream #food #dessert #snack #cuttingboard #servingtray https://www.instagram.com/p/BnG3jfdlm3Y/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wurrdhlmas37
