Poll: Top? or Bottom? - So, we have made a few of our steering wheel trays and given them to friends and family. We put our contact information on the back of the tray so that they could easily share it with folks who ask about our products. The idea being that you can snap a picture of it, or search for it and quickly locate it on one of the most popular social media platforms. With that said, which do you think is clearer and most quickly communicates what the image represents? Which one looks better? - #marketing #logo #advertising #crafting #sidehustle #fb #instagram #twitter #socialmediamarketing #socialmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/BvNNe66g0lE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17agbbsuocqtw

Here's a shot of the cup turner I made for Nicole. Seems some folks were interested to see it. Anyway, for those who don't know what they are looking at, think of it as a rotisserie stand for crafts. Or maybe a painfully slow lathe. Either way, Nicole is gonna use this thing to customize cups and bottles and tumblers. She's already told me she wants one that will turn four cups at once! #diy #ibuildmyown #tools #woodcraft #selfreliance #yeti #glitter #epoxy #tumbler #crafting #handmade #cupturner https://www.instagram.com/p/BuiEMPaBhlY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wvxi4t294wv5

A huge, heartfelt thanks to everyone who ordered the steering wheel trays for Christmas! The video shows about 1/2 of our seasonal order as they are laid out for the last two coats of poly. Now maybe we can get some sleep! We aren't taking anymore Christmas orders, but I will likely do another run of them after we get back from Colorado. So, if you want one, don't be afraid to drop us a line. - Contact info in bio. ☝️ - - #woodworking #carpentry #carpenter #diy #tools #ibuildmyown #woodcraft #cars #trucks #police #patrol #borderpatrol #k9 #leo #lawenforcement #travel #handmade #crafting https://www.instagram.com/p/BrYot0_Bvl7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d3m067quepla

Today I was building some frames for some gifts we are sending out. While making some of the standard stuff, I envisioned a frame with this half-lap joint with a dowel through the center and tried it out on some rough cut pine. Then I hit it with some medium walnut danish oil. I'm pretty pleased with the results. I will definitely be using this design for future rustic/country projects. Got any pictures that would benefit from a frame like this?

We made up some signs for a client and had an extra chunk of some beautiful birch #plywood left over. So, we decided to make ourselves a #sign of our own. The wood is treated with Danish oil, painted with #acrylic paint and sealed with #Polycrylic . We #distressed it a little before sealing it. - - #homesweethome #home #homedecor #birchplywood #birch #acrylicpaint #danishoil #wood #woodworking #woodcraft #woodwork https://www.instagram.com/p/BrCUMcdhbKV/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cn0842cyrclj

What we have here is a tray that slips on to your steering wheel creating a table. Perfect for folks who spend a lot of time in a car for work or play. We made them from 3/4 Birch plywood for durability. They are finished with Danish Oil and Polyurethane to minimize scratches and prevent water damage. There are a few sample designs on the 2nd slide, and slide three is just a demonstration of the capacity (2 1gal jugs of water = 16lbs). - #woodworking #carpentry #carpenter #diy #tools #ibuildmyown #woodcraft #cars #trucks #police #patrol #borderpatrol #k9 #leo #lawenforcement https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq_6Ou3B4ra/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qssg2ghloxvi
