Upcycled/repurposed projects (MANY)

Hmmm...I just use an old screwdriver.

Hmmm...I just use an old screwdriver.

Which might work better if you ground the screwdriver tip off and ground the tool to a slightly blunted point. (No need to hide under a chair. LOL)

LOL -- it is an old Phillips, so already worn pretty well, no sharp points left....I like the handle on it for my own grip. Plus repurposed nicely.

If I could get a spare wooden bookshelf I would make my granddaughter a doll house.

I'm trying to figure out how to make some old dog houses into rabbit hutches.

How/where does he try to sell them? There's got to be a market...just a matter of finding it.

Those are so cool - and what a great way to use up something that usually has just one function in life. I'd use one if I had one!

 

[lcertuche]

They really are great. He has shown them on Facebook and at our local 'Trade Days' once a month street sale.

Tell him to try Craig's List. Also, he should look up and find "craft shows or events" that will have people like car buffs, motorcyclists, campers, bored husbands, etc. I don't think your "average person" will buy one of these...even though they are good. They want the latest Charm-Glo grill. He needs to appeal to more self sufficient, outdoorsy, junk-yard-appreciative type people.

And we can't wait to see what you're going to do with that stuff!

Cool!
