BEAR DOWN!!!   WHAT A WIN!!!!

To celebrate,  I'm offering my first ever  discount on the following orange / blue items. I've never done this before, but that was so AWESOME, I want to be part of everyone becoming a SUPERFAN!.

So here we go:
Pizza Cutters: 45 (normally 50)
Ice cream scoops: 40 (normally 45)
Bottle openers: 23 (normally 28)

I literally never discounts. And have no plans to in the future. So get it while you can. And I hate to be a "sales" guy, but I may be limited in what I have available.  So it is first come first serve. But I will do my best to take care of everyone I can..

BEAR DOWN!!!!!

Last Minute Stocking Stuffers!

So clearly not woodworking, but my son and I have had some fun 3d printing these golf ball holders. So if you know a golfer who has a sense of humor, shoot me a message. These are just examples and aim happy work on any custom ideas you might have

I can do a range of colors (up to 2). PLUS, you can include a person's name or a few words...or choose from something I've come up with.

Comes with a carabiner that easily clips on a golfer bag or somewhere in a golf cart or push cart.  And while golf balls are NOT included, this gift goes nicely with a sleeve or box of balls.

Price: 7 each. Golf balls are NOT included.

PM me with any questions or orders.

Happy Holidays!!!

(Few things, colors may be limited,  sorry if this offends but funny's funny,  there's only so much space for words so things need to he concise, of things get crazy and Christmas deadlines can't be met I'll let you know).

Pepper / Salt Grinders

I was asked to make some pepper grinders as Christmas gifts. They turned out pretty amazing in my humble opinion. I have a handful of the grinding mechanisms left. So if anyone is interested in a pepper / salt grinder, feel free to reach out.

Price: 50 each

So the Bears lost today to the Packers. There's always 2 weeks from now. And the Browns are next. So if you need some accessories for your next tailgates, look no further.

Bear Down!!!

(And yes....sigh...I can make these in Packers colors too).

Bourbon Bottle Stoppers

Got a whiskey / bourbon / scotch connoisseur to shop for? Then this may be the perfect gift.

Made of stainless steel with nitrile o-rings, there is no doubt that these are luxury items for people that enjoy displaying their adult beverage collection.

With a little twist as you’re pushing it in the bottle, it creates a beautiful friction fit to ensure an air tight seal.

So whether your need a little something extra to go with that bottle , or you don't know anything about spirits but still want to provide a thoughtful gift, this is an amazing option. And don't forget about any possible holiday parties you may be attending. These make a really nice little host gift that will certainly get people's attention.  Or just maybe, you want to treat yourself. You deserve something nice too. 😉

Feel free to message me with any questions or custom requests.

Christmas 2025 Pricing: 22 each

Christmas decor with a twist: College and Pro team colors!

Feeling the holiday spirit and want to display your school spirit or celebrate the Chicago Bears (or maybe other NFL teams)? I've taken my usual Christmas trees and made them with new colors.

For example,  blue and orange can celebrate the Bears AND the Illink. Black and yellow Iowa.. I got blue and yellow for Michigan.  Plus Wisconsin, Michigan State,  and the list goes on. While I can accomodate every team's colors, feel free to ask and I'll see what I can do.

Also, while not shown,  I do my snowman in these colors.

They're 15 each.

If you want me to turn them into ornaments, I add an eyehook and some metallic string. These are 18.

Happy holidays everyone!!

Smores Sticks!

Its hard to believe its supposed to be fall given the temperatures, but here we are. In anticipation of fall, I've been making my "world famous" smores sticks!

They telescope out about 3 feet and work great for roasting marshmallows or anything else you want to put over the fire pit / fire table. When collapsed down, they're about a foot long and easy to store. And the handle sizes work perfectly for little kid hands all the way up to adults (unless your the size of a 7 foot NBA player).

I finish them with about 7 layers of finish for durability and then micro-polish them for a nice, smooth feel. This also makes them easy to wipe down with a damp paper towel for those sticky marshmallow moments.

And they come in a huge array of colors as well as you can see in the pictures. I have roughly 15 on hand after some successful recent art shows but can always make more.

And not only are these fun for the backyard, but they're great for camping and tailgating too. I've got colors layouts for the Bears, Illini, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Packers (sigh), Notre Dame, and Iowa to name a few.

For those of you with kids that go to Glenbard West, Glenbard South, and Wheaton North, I got your school colors too (see pictures). I realize I'm a little late to the party for homecoming festivities, but there's still plenty of opportunities for kids to get together and have some wholesome fun making smores (my teens still aren't too cool for smores).

Pricing is $22 for 1, or $20 each if you order 2 or more.

As many know, I'm a local Glen Ellyn resident who's just a garage shop hobbyist that loves making, cool, unique, and ultimately useful stuff. Feel free to PM me or send me an email at [email protected] and we can talk through color and handle styles.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone.
Sincerely
Sandy

This is the newest creation I've been working on. While I'm still woodworking and making all the same things as before. I'm having fun with some epoxy. Although it creates a heck of a mess in my shop (i'll have to take a picture at some point) and takes a lot longer to make, it's super cool. Keep an eye out for more to come!

Now that we're past Valentine's Day, time to look forward to St. Patty's Day. In anticipation and celebration, I custom ordered this color combo. So if you're going to a party and need a gift, want to celebrate in style, or just add to you collection, feel free to reach out.

Ps - Keep an eye out for more to come in this color scheme. I have some very high end whisky bottle stoppers I'll be working on as well.

Items pictured:
Bottle Opener - 28
Bottle Stopper - 15

Need a last minute stocking stuffer for your husband? Dad? Brother? Uncle? Wife? Or anybody that likes golf and adult beverages? Then this might be the answers to all those late nights and tears. This golf bottle stopper can not only contain liquids in bottles, but I can also ensure peace for all mankind through the end of this century

Legal Disclaimer (meant to be read really, really, really fast): This incredible bottle stopper in no way will ensure world peace and tranquility through any period of time. Nor will it make your kids go to bed on time, listen to you, pick up after themselves, or prevent them from wiping gross stuff under furniture (don't ask how I know). Should also not be hit off a golf tee unless incredibly brave or incredibly stupid. Sometimes hard to tell the difference. Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Price: 18 each
