Yet again

Surprise surprise! Another 6 months between blog posts! I am ashamed.

Not much to report. I (Ian) quit my job, and I don't have a new one. And I'm not exactly actively looking. I am trying to make sure that I find something I really want to do. I've had one interview, just waiting on the results of that one.

Most of all right now I am attempting to do something I've been meaning to do for a couple of years now. I've been spending most of my free time in the shop, building things. Here's a couple of links:

Take a gander at all of these links. If you're on Facebook, become a fan!

So I build furniture, toys, all kinds of things. And just because I don't list it here or on any of the sites doesn't mean I don't make it. Here's the quick list I dashed off just now:

  • Tables (coffee, dining room, end, tables with clocks in them, etc)
  • Mantles (like above your fireplace)
  • Toy trucks, cars, SUV's, semis with trailers, logging trucks, tanker trucks
  • Diggers (made of wood, for the sandbox - kids love these)
  • Wooden puzzles (like this)
  • Wind chimes (small, medium, massive)
  • All kinds of log stuff (see the table I built for Fran on the websites, also other stuff)
  • Bellows (those things that blow on the fire - they work great!)
  • Jewelry boxes
  • All kinds of boxes and cases (big, small, medium, humongous)
  • Lamps
  • Whirligigs (see the website - woodsman, gardener, surfer...)
  • Benches
  • Hutches (not the rabbit kind)
That's the short list. And seriously, there's probably like a million other things I can do too. Just ask.

Anyways, I might be updating the other blog too. If I update any blog it will be that one: http://372wood.blogspot.com

Cheerio!
