Winter 2018

I really love where I live, but I do find the Winters rather long.  Last year, I built a new garage/shop and this winter, I have really been able to take advantage of it.


To pass the time, I have been building some furniture and some small woodworking projects.

I have also been designing and building Growler Boxes and Beer Caddies for craft beer.  There have been several designs that I have been working on.  I have given a few away to friends and they seem to really like them.

Second Growler Box Design

The beer caddies for bottled and canned beer have gone through a few design iterations.  I experimented with  different styles of sides, open sides and solid sides.

Closed Side Beer Caddy

For finishing, I used a Minwax Walnut Stain and several coats of Minwax Polyurethane.  I am very pleased with the results.



Finished Products

Another touch that I added was bottle openers from Lee Valley Tools.  They add a rather nice feature to the beer caddy. 


I made a couple for one of my work colleagues and as a result, several more have been requested.  This past weekend, I did a limited production run.




Third Growler Box Design

We still have to get through the rest of February, March and April and I am hoping for an early riding season this year.  Every once and awhile, I pull the covers off the bikes just to take a look!

I suspect that I will have a few more projects as I wait for Winter to pass.  Looking forward to the 2018 MC season!  Stay safe!

  2. Staying up to date with the latest international news is a top priority for most people. The vast majority turns on the television to get an instant dose of what's going on around the world. However, with such little time on our hands the frequent and long running advertisements on the television can be quite irritating and time consuming. Luckily, we now have the alternative in the form of news blogs that deliver the latest updates on current global news and that too without the constant advertisements! world's largest bean

  15. When your business is in its starting phase, you need a loan to grow it. Yes, there are ways for you to start your business with very little capital, but even in the age of the internet you need loans for the growth and expansion of your business. Oftentimes, startup and small business owners are scared of taking loans because they believe returning the same loan with interest on it will hinder their growth.

  19. Wow I can’t help but love her! She is beautiful plus a really good actress. I don’t think the show V is all that good, but I watch it anyway just so I can see Morena Baccarin. And I don’t know if you’ve ever seen her do an interview but she is also rather funny and it all seems to come so natural for her. I personally never even heard of her before The V, now I’ll watch anything she’s on. 가입시 꽁머니 사이트
