Sorry to hear that you got laid off but happy for you to have found things to keep you busy. By the looks of it you could turn your talents into making a few bucks.
I’ve been planning on mounting a winch onto roll bars to recover road kills for bait and like what you did.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing... but it would have to be closer to Buck Lake. :-)
Nice job on the projects. I like the boot rack.

That crate wood sure looks good after you put a bit of work into it, great job Leo. After last nights election I think you best get that yard cleaned up quick because I think things will pick up again.
Good luck with the bears!

Beautiful work of art! I just love this cabinet! Looks amazing. You should start doing custom cabinets. And the bottle holder is very cool too.

About 40 years ago I asked my uncle to teach me how to weld. He gave me 50lbs of rod and said go weld. I figured it mostly out after that. Lol. There's not much I can show you, I'm a farm welder, not a pro.

The reason you were laid off was because your creativity was wanting to come out. When you are done creating another job will appear. Enjoy. Nice projects so far.

Nice work Leo. I saw that lamp in a slightly earlier state I think.
Remember......my offer for the house and property still stands. I may put a time limit on it tho.
Good men with talent aren't out of work for long. Just a chance for you to spread your wings and try new things. We never get too old to do that.

Dang. Yeah that one. Has to be a lot of upkeep for an old guy. You really should consider passing it on to a much younger man. Ahemmm
In all seriousness Leo, short of being on a few sections of prime hunting land, and some berms a guy could park targets on and shoot at off his back porch, it's as good as it gets. I am seriously envious.
