My wife wanted a new key holder for our office. Something simple and modern. She had me cut up some pine, paint it while and hang them on the wall in uneven symmetry (They all all 4" wide and 4" apart) The just add some white cup hooks and keys. Couldn't have been easier and it looks great!

This table is made from a re-purposed oak base and a hunk of aluminum that was polished up and given a new life. The table measures 26" in diameter and 22" high. There are 6 polished bolt heads attached around the perimeter. The base is painted in satin black and the top has three coats of a clear enamel for protection.

Pine, Cherry & Pipe Pine was reclaimed from my daughters crib slats Cherry base turned on lathe

I'm officially moved. The upside is a dedicated shop in the rear of the house with nothing but my stuff. The downside is that this dedicated space, is quite a bit smaller than my 2 car garage was, and I don't have room for all my tools. But I'm determined to make it work... As such I've reneged on one of my cardinal rules: "never sell power tools." Sort of a never say die, when it comes to woodworking. So as of this weekend 3 of my iron pals, went off to new owners. Craftsman 12" band saw Rockwell 6" Jointer Craftsman 10" Radial Arm Saw I know it was the right decision, and I've still got pretty cramped quarters, but workable. The dust collector might have to re assigned a new owner, but the table saw, 14" band saw, lathe and drill press are staying firmly planted... We will remain vigilant!
