I'm a pretty handy guy, but pretty sure the best thing I can make is a bed.

I also sandblast some surfaces for better gripp...

My whole process is USA made, grits, rouge, baldor motors, wheels, sander belts, and the slides as well, EVERY BIT OF IT... I don't make them, I make them better.. LOL..


I also make stuff out of recycled wood.. i.e. my bar...Made from some bowling alley lane, a bunch of pallet wood... I also made the the rolling work bench shown.. I bought the bowling alley to make the work bench, I used the rest of it on the bar in a different place ten years later..

I make/work on some other stuff also...
Absolutely amazing work! Thanks for posting.

I make various and sundry things, like:

1 & 2: Oil paintings
3: giant wooden penny banks
4: white belts into black belts, (me on the right, 2nd Dan, my friend and senior master Anthony Boyle in the middle, and my daughter Faith on the left), and I even make:
5: those metal Social Security cards you used to be able to order out of the back of magazines.
6 & 7: about completely finished with a '41 Chevy Special Deluxe

As well as decks and woodworking, wood turnings and turned pens from wood or aluminum, websites (I have a few hundred of those), and make programs for Android, iOS and Win8 mobile phones, devices and tablets.

And I'm told I make:
8 & 9 & 10: Entirely too much LDL cholesterol and I make myself into a very bad patient.

is that a nitrous line I see there? If so, that's cheating! (unless of course it's being used to spool a massive turbo, then it's ok)
