Gone Backpacking!
No updates from the shop this week. I went to Vermont/New Hampshire, and did some backpacking in the White Mountains. Did a four day trip up to the top of Mount Washington (6,084 feet), staying in some of the AMC huts. A great time and a lot of exercises.
August Farmer’s Market in Haddonfield
This Saturday I had the opportunity to show my wares at the Haddonfield NJ farmer’s market. Nice atmosphere, lots of food vendors and fresh vegetables/fruits. Had a lot of good conversations with people, including some folks that might want to do commission work on an item or in their home. Nice weather too! Working on …
Moorestown Day – June 1, 2024
So my local town does a street fair twice a year, where they have food truck vendors, craftsman, politicians, and local businesses come out. They close off main street to vehicles, and just have pedestrian traffic for the 4 blocks of downtown main street. Its a lot of fun, and one of those “small town …

Well, my regular day-time work dragged me away from the shop for a full week, so everything got put on hold. I’m finally back from Florida, and can get back to finishing up the Christmas gifts before pushing on with the items for the next Christmas market. Busy, busy, busy….. I cut out the pieces …
Farmer’s Market

It was the first Saturday that was clear (i.e. non-rainy) for the last seven weeks, so I guess people were in a buying mood. People were very friendly, the other …
Good Day at the Farmer’s Market
Had a great time at the Farmer’s Market! A lot of the sellers are the low cost phone holders, tablet holders, etc. I had a good time talking to folks and explaining my craft, and some folks came up with some excellent ideas for other projects. As an “attention grabber” I built a wood “spinner” …
Prepping for next farmer’s Market
Its been a couple of weeks. I have been off backpacking in New Hampshire, and we got rained out – very dramatically. While Vermont got more, New Hampshire was only slightly less, and hiking the White Mountains involves a lot of rock scrambling/climbing. At one point, we were actually hiking down the equivalent of a …
Shop door Repair
The door to my shop has been in bad shape for years. It’s a wooden door, and due to way the roofline is, there is a significant “splatter” of water which ends up hitting the bottom. Over the years, the wood has rotted away to the point where it was close to falling apart at …
