A SASS award plaque provides the perfect mounting surface for a bathroom towel holder in a location where previous screw holes didn't align with those in the holder itself.

I haven’t made anything like a snowmobile teeter-totter. 
I did modify some bird feeders so deer couldn’t eat out of them, but the deer apparently got angry and knocked them to the ground to get the food out of them. :lol:

I've made a bunch of these ~ a few months ago I was asked to put together a "raffle prize basket" for a local Kiwanis event - so, I made a bell, a barbecue steak flipper and charcoal "rake," put 'em in a galvanized tub with some straw, a bunch of bottles of sauces, and a sauce pot.  :)

If the weather ever cools down a mite I'll make some more.  But when it's 105° outside I hates workin' over a hot forge!

I do some segmented woodturning on the lathe.  You cut different colored pieces of wood, glue them into a ring and stack the rings up, making a pattern.  Mount the whole mass of glued up segments on the lathe and spin it up to 1000 rpm and shape it with razor sharp chisels.  Good way to pass a pandemic.

We need a “holy cow, that’s awesome” emoji!!! I might settle for a simple “wow!” In a pinch.

Not me, but my son, Sassparilla Kid ~ between Christmas and New Year's, 2022, he had a week of "dead time" and wanted to do something constructive - so he decided to build a mobile smoker/grill/cooker rig.  :)

 

Started with a scrapped 300 gallon butane tank from JL Hank's ranch...  :rolleyes:

 

Hatches cut, hinges and handles installed....
