Give yourself a hand... a lot of gettin ur dun goin on :smt004
My neighbor moved a couple weeks ago and was gonna toss out this old cabinet... broken leg, no handle, working  rough...
Turns out it’s a bar! 
Open the door and the sides rotate out , what u have is a mirrored
9 shelved storage unit that holds bottles perfectly! Or whatever else u might want to keep in there  :smt004
With a little TLC  and a few HRS, this piece is workin smooth!
I  decided to make it shiny so I’m hand rubbing it with a fine compound.
It’s shining up real nice!  A few more HRS of that and a little lighting project and I will be ready to christen it!!
Sorry about the pics, I sure don’t know why they turn?

Cheers!
Scotty

Nice restoration job.  How many bottles can it hold?  :smt003

I am very happy that my pepper trees are growing well especially my Habanero tree.

Looking good Sonny👍
My mix batch of peppers finally sprouting their fourth leaves but I think with the hotter temp coming in they will be busting out more.

Made some custom gaff/kages.  316 SS, threaded at the tip for attachment hook/spear, epoxied with inlayed square nut.  Fun project.  :smt006

Thanks!  I've considered making some for sale - not too certain of the right cost.  These were all gifts for my fishing buddies in an effort to kharma-swap some fish mojo.  They are fun to make (Im getting better too) and I would be willing to contract out a few of these if there is interest.  Of course everything could be customized from the type of wood, the length, the attachments, handle color, type of leash, etc.  The supply chain for steel is not good right now, so it will take time.  I dont really have access to a metal supply shop that has 316 SS so I have to order.  That said, once I have all of the materials, the build will take me 3-4 weekends - mostly curing time for the finish.

Thanks for considering.  I am in no hurry as I have several gaffs already but would like to "collect" the "beauty" ones  :smt001

Nice! I've had that idea before, nice to see it put to practice.  I'm also thinking of other things to put on those, like rubberized nets, tarpon hooks, powerheads, etc.  Would be nice to have a quick release quick exchange of attachments somehow as well.

That's an excellent idea!  Please post the pictures when you're making it.
