    My favorite tutorial so far!!! Love all the things you brought back to life. I repurpose old or discarded items as well It's such a great thing. My motto is a saying my dad used when he cleaned up after working all day. When he would get a compliment. He would say, "A little paint makes an old house look good. That quote is what inspired me. Can't wait for the next video.

    I recently ordered a planter tower that came with three small-ish garden tools. I liked your idea of hanging them on a board. I think I'll drill some small holes in the wood handles and put twine (like you did), then attach the tools on the back of a different rectangular metal planter that has an upright back. This will be hung on my front door as decor. Mahalo Nui for some great ideas! 🌺

    I have sheds full of things like this. With such constant wet weather, the earwigs which then live in & under & between anything non of this makes sense here where I live at present. And the wind! Not just during our 5 months of winter....Even have really pretty broken crockery in buckets that a store used to save for me to do projects w. my adult students in shop. No have to downsize BIG TIME to move in a years' time. Love your projects....it's not enough to have the stuff, one needs to be clever & artsy such as yourself.

    That wooden "trivet" is actually a table top. I have 2 similar ones from India. The base is 3 lacily carved legs held together by small hinges. The legs fit into the grooves on the bottom. It can be a bit of a puzzle to get the legs just right, as they all fit 3 ways. However, the right combination and the table is solid. Lovely tables ! 3

You can even just hang it outside, just as decor and not truly use it as an actual birdhouse. Very creative and imaginative! Love it!
