What follows is my exploration of building rustic furniture, an iron gate in my garden, the little girl's apron (check out the hanger I made for it), this brass box I constructed in an earlier art class, Ron (my mate) taught me to do tile work and design our downstairs kitchenette, and the garden shed Ron and I built all from recycled materials.  The shed was a 2-page featured  in the Oregonian Home and Garden several years back.
