Can't wait to see the finished piece!

These are great! I try to save any vintage cameras for the camera alone but may have passed by many that could have had other uses, I see. Thanks for the inspiration!

Lauretta, you continue to amaze me! You've also inspired me to have an assemblage art theme for our exhibit in October at the Grayson Gallery & Art Center... hmmmm, a Halloween party opening reception to follow? You know, Kentucky isn't THAT far so come 'n see us sometime. All the best!

Hey - that's my chair! Haha, look at one of my first posts... mine is a near-match but missin' its rockers. I also ran across another one (only with a missing back) so your project has inspired me to actually re-do it. Keep up the great stuff!

Oh, yeah! These are great - can't wait to see your next batch.

WOW! This made me smile at first glance. Do you enter your work in any art shows? We're putting together a little community gallery/art center in an old fire station in Grayson, KY and plan on an assemblage-art exhibit later this year. Keep up the cool and creative work!

Hi! I'm not sure my prior reply got to you (new at this part; pardon me if it's a duplication) so here is the info: POT OF GOLD ANTIQUE SHOW AND SALE! Come visit our 14th annual show in March, 2011 in Grayson, Kentucky. It will be held March 26th (9-5) & 27th (10-4) at the Middle School on William and Mary Avenue. VENDORS WELCOME - contact me(Dan)for additional info: bucksawstudio@yahoo.com. Hope to see you there. Be sure to check out my next post about our newest booth and visit us at Antiques'n'Uniques in Grayson for more great stuff!

Love the window ideas - we have some funky ones in our booths (check out Bucksaw Studio - #12 & #30) at Antiques'N'Uniques in Grayson! The POT OF GOLD Antique Show & Sale will be held March 26 & 27 at the Middle School on William and Mary Avenue. Thanks for asking about the show and I hope to see you there...look me up! Dan

Why is everybody always pickin' on US??? From the looks of your other cool projects and posts, you will make it work! Maybe just take that loose handle off and treat it as two separate things? Perhaps distress the heck out of the shovel section to frame a nice mosaic - to use as a "silent butler" (just add small brush)! While you're on a cleaning roll, then you could use the handle to whack a rug... or your boyfriend's parents, haha.

Plug away - I'm impressed! We love Bob Dylan's stuff and can't wait to check out the tune and link to a fellow Junkmarket artist! This was a very thoughtful and creative gift... We're at about 7 months, ourselves, and have celebrated many a nice evening listening to music while working on projects. Our random-play CD system usually brings us a Dylan song or two along the way!

Frinds are also sometimes hard to come by so it's great making more of them even here in cyberspace! We would love to see you all here in Grayson in the future and wish your daughter all the best at KCU. Yep, the antique show is a good one and I'm on the event committee through the local Antiques'n'Uniques antique mall (we have a booth there - Bucksaw Studio). Keep in touch and come see us!

Love your stuff! THANKS for your nice comments about our flood damage (funny how the wedding made everything OK...for better or worse, right?). No matter where or what you have that is destroyed in some way, it is hard to handle, so I understand how you must have felt about the loss. However, I look forward to keeping everyone posted on what we make of our little setback and we've already made some progress. I also look forward to seeing what you have in store for us, too!

Hi! THANKS for your nice comments about our flood damage (funny how the wedding made everything OK...for better or worse, right?). We are actually going to celebrate our anniversaries on each first Friday in May from now on since we met up on a First Friday Art Walk in a nearby town; we'll have a different date every year!. I look forward to keeping everyone posted on what we make of our little setback and we've already made some progress. I also look forward to seeing what you have in store for us, too!

Hi! THANKS for your nice comments on our flood damage (funny how the wedding made everything OK...for better or worse, right? I see you recently joined us - isn't this site great? I look forward to keeping everyone posted on what we make of our little setback and also to see what you have in store for all of us!

Sorry to ramble on, folks! I just needed to deal with this by sharing some good news while asking asking for support and ideas as we move forward on this unforseen project. Now, we have so many things we HAVE to either re-do or trash that I'm not sure we could do it without the creative input from many of you. Thanks for being there!

These are great! I've hammered spoons into candle snuffers in the past but the plant markers and other projects using stamping is very cool. Gonna steal this idea if you don't mind! :)

I love all you do with doors and other salvaged wood pieces. I've just cleaned out a storage place and have been moving - now I'm glad I kept most of my stuff! Looking forward to seeing more of your work...

Great work! If I could just get that song out of my head now... woof! woof-woof-woof!!...I think it goes. :) We're also planning a dog rescue from a shelter this spring and I can't wait to be inspired by my new pup!

Hey, Jim! You do great work, man. I always check out your projects and look forward to seeing more - you're an inspiration. ALL THE BEST with Wreckage!

Hey, there - neat old chairs! Since you're starting from scratch, maybe you could make one of those little love seats where the chairs sit facing opposite directions but are connected (just bolt together at sides). I think I've seen some kinda things done like this so people could sit side by side yet look at each other for some smoochin'. :) Just about anything you do with them will be cool! Maybe whitewashing/distressing the wood and covering padded boards for the seats with old sweaters? Good luck!

You know something new is really neat when you have to scroll down to add a comment - no wonder! I've made some coasters in the past but love your idea of combining the printing with old pages/papers. Gotta grab my pile of tiles and get busy. NICE WORK!!

WOW, Sue - that looks great as a photo display piece! Quite a coincidence, too... I think I have the BOTTOM part of your surveyor's equipment attachment, haha. Just this morning I was researching a bit about this cool old wooden and brass tripod I have and considering making a lamp out of it! If your piece would fasten onto a big round threaded thing then, yep, it's a match. Now, if I can just find something kinda like your piece o'wonderful junk...
All the best! Dan

This is great - nice art! I love painting and re-purposing old chairs, too. Our local Hospice organization has a fundraiser each year called "Chairs for Charity"; artists/donors paint and re-do chairs and other stuff for auction. You've inspired me to share a couple that I've donated with you and my fellow junkers!

Great re-use for the church bench and the old attendance chart really tops it off! I just saw that an old church locally is having a re-locating sale and they listed pews among their stuff. Hmmmm, maybe we're not so snowed-in after all and can get by there to take a look! Thanks for the inspiration...

Love it! I have a few old grates and it's great to see how creative you've been in putting them to use... I'll have to drag mine out of their hiding place and see what happens. Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks for the nice comments It's just my first few days contributing and everyone (alaong with all this shared creativity) is motivating me to get busy being artistic again!

Gosh, it's nice to be among kindred spirits! Great idea and re-purposing project. Looks like there is still room in there for more STUFF!
