• From the Workshop: I’m not sure what to think

  
  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  In an earlier (and really interesting) post, I only got up to two "> ">‘tastes I can remember from 1964’ because I ran short on time. I felt I had to return to the workshop to put trim on birdhouses and not leave the workshop heater unattended. ["Four more to go, but how do I feel?": photos GAH] ...

• The Simple Life: What kind of wood is this?

  
  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  I didn’t need to stop but I did anyway. While walking home from downtown yesterday afternoon I noticed a pile of scrap lumber beside a house just south of the Thames River. Scrappy scrap it was too. Painted, broken, nail-filled boards thrown out during a reno. All destined for the landfill, no doubt. But I saw ...

• Zoom w a View: After breakfast, sneak behind the New Sarum Diner

  
  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  I encourage you to visit the New Sarum Diner before the snow flies. It’s a diner out of the ‘50s and will appeal to those who like their eggs over easy. My wife especially liked the fact that I paid the tab. After breakfast, walk out to the back of the diner’s property. You’ll spot a windmill from ...

  a sampling of trim - and sometimes good things can happen . ["This set of eight - finally finished": photos GAH] I’ll finish one more set of eight (now underway) or sixteen birdboxes and I’m done with them ‘til spring. Unless, while I’m building the next set, another design comes to mind. ...

  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  that this afternoon I score my first hat-trick in three years. While at a Canadian Tire store yesterday (my sander was ready for pickup and I really needed it; eight modern-style birdhouses are ready to roll), I decided to see if any wooden hockey sticks were still being made and sold, and if any were on sale. ...

• From the Workshop: 3 top coats are better than one

  
  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  After applying the first coat of paint last week to eight birdhouses I wasn’t sure if I’d made the right decision. Raw lumber plus linseed oil seemed to produce better results with rescued grade C lumber, in my humble opinion. After applying three top coats, however, I now like the results to a large ...

• A hard-working hubby comes up with a creative fix

  
  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  After purchasing one of my many brilliant bird boxes and placing it in a tree outside their son’s bedroom window, a family discovered that some neighbourhood squirrels love the taste of cedar. Little beggars! (Sorry, not the family - the squirrels!) The nutritionally deprived rodents made quite a mess of the ...

• From the Workshop: Much progress made on sunny days

  
  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  (Of course, progress is a relative term!) When the workshop is warm enough to paint, I paint. Yesterday, primer . Today, first top coat. Yes, I’ll soon have a collection of many colours. ["The lids should match": photos GAH] And you’ll see them here first, front lawn second. If I sell a ...

• From the Workshop: Rescued Grade C lumber has a few strengths

  
  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  It was warm enough inside the workshop this afternoon to paint and stain 10 GH birdhouses, and one turned out good enough to hang on the back fence - in April. Lumber with green stain came off our house in large amounts during a recent reno and though it looked like Grade C compared to the cedar that took its ...

  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  It’s Thanksgiving Day and I haven’t been outside yet due to turkey stupor. (We had company over yesterday and did terrible damage to a large bird). However, I must get out to the shop. One bench needs to be tidied up (put away rescued lumber) so that I can mess it up again with a new project. The old lumber I ...

  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  Because The Queen of England doesn’t visit my workshop (aka the shed) I wear clothes that my wife would love to steal and ship to the nearest landfill site. That’s not going to happen. At least not until each article has done service as a paint rag. Now, I certainly don’t mind visiting landfills in person, ...

• Zoom w a View: From my sister’s front porch

  
  ... It Strikes Me Funny by G. Harrison — Authority: 435
  Four out of five Harrison’s love birdhouses and scatter them round about their yards. The hold out is too busy painting portraits. And has no yard. While sitting on the front porch of my sister’s trailer in Bayfield on Sunday I snapped this one. Back to the workshop. Maybe I can modify the design a bit. .
