I like to make and design things and I know we have a bunch of really talented people on ibouts. One year I made this below. It was on my list of things I wanted to do.. It is my very first one and stands 28" tall.. He is hand curved from left over cedar and strung with heavy elastic.. He was greatly enjoyed by the Doll club members..<br />I just love the stainglass that Pony made.<br /><br />

<br /><br />Cost me about $0.50/glass to make 2-5 gallons at a time. WAY better than anything you can buy for fitty cents. <br /><br />I just bought a pile of lumber to make a nice keg/bar setup. :)

I am not creative enough to make things from scratch (except for cooking) but I have remade many things. Houses, furniture, electronics, cars, even that boat over there.

I made this critter terrarium thing for the two younger boys two years ago. Mrs. QC plants in it and the boys add lizards, tree frogs etc.<br /><br />

Great job Dave. Your grandson will really enjoy that swingset. :) <br /><br />Hey ZmOz... I must have misjudged you... beer! MMMM! And forget Aldo's beer colour preferences... dark is just fine... Leffe Brune, my absolute favourite.<br /><br /> http://www.silrubin.com/leffe.htm

Here's a couple of things I made. The first is a dial indicator holder and the second is the light colored rung (one was missing when I bought this towel bar/dryer rack).
