I found another old bed this time at Value Village (not much value there these days) and though what a great coat rack it would make. After stripping the caramel 1940's finish off it I discovered a great combination of black walnut, zebra wood, and walnut burl. I painted the trim black and hunted down some old latches from some old cupboard doors and used them as the hooks. Can't wait to make another one. L..G.

I found some cool old railroad nails at the salvage yard last week and turned them into this coat rack. With a little internet research I found that the 45 imprinted on the heads of the nails are for the year they were used.L..G.

While walking home one night I came across an ugly old caramel colored headboard siting on the side of the street as garbage. It had some nice details to I thought I would haul it home and make it into a coat rack. I figured if I strip off the bad finish and it was still ugly I would paint it. To my surprise it was cheery veneer over a maple core with the border wood being solid cheery. Once I cut it down to size on my table saw I finished stripping it. When I was finished was beautiful. <span id="goog_1186021315"></span><span id="goog_1186021316"></span>Next I got some old door knobs and put 5/16 ths dowels into them using Gorilla glue on the inside of the knobs to keep the dowel from moving inside the knobs. Once all the holes were drilled for the dowels in the head board i did all my finishing sanding and then applied a coat of danish oil. It was a welcomed Christmas present to an old friend.L..G.

I have been toying with the idea of making more man friendly items. It took me a while to locate a supplier with the right findings to complement my work but I finally found them. <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/woodbeedesign?ref=pr_shop_more">Woodbee Design</a>L..G.

As great as it is to talk to people about yourself and your stuff all day it is even nicer to connect with the person beside you. This month I am doing the PoppyTalk <a href="http://www.poppytalkhandmade.com/"></a> with my old friend Tracy Fillion from Dear Pony in Nelson BC

I told here that I used actual original stamps in my jewelry and she couldn't get her head around the fact that they were not reproductions. <br /> I told her that using a copies would be cheating my customers, she responded with the idea that no one would be the wiser. I take a fragile everyday item that is slightly inaccessible and make it into a tangible artifact that can be enjoyed outside a stamp book. Hunting down the stamps is half the fun and 3/4 of the work. I think my process and my idea of one of a kind handmade is what divides artisans from crafters.L..G.

<br />I come across some vary cool items on Etsy's Vintage pages and Susan Scott of Sushipotparts never disappoints.
<br />
<br />"Primitive and rusty, this old iron is way past its useful days but still functions as a unique object! My favorite features are the manufacture's plate, "Wizard", and the charred looking wooden handle. The handle is loose but seems intact. I'll be careful to protect it well during shipment. However you choose to employ this iron, I doubt you will be disappointed! Enjoy."

For now here are a couple new pendants that I'm really excited about.L..G.

I have two of the nursing stamps and two of the astronaut space walk stamp. The space walk stamp is actually two stamps together. One half is the astronaut and the other half is the re-entry capsule. I think I'm going to do one of the just the astronaut and one of just the capsule and then a third of the two together.L..G.

We got stuck in Tuba City Arizona due to car troubles. I regret not going the this amazing place, Ships Rock or Rock with Wing as the Navajo call it.L..G.
