I am the type of person that likes to make things. Years ago when I was young, my mom wanted to switch me from a crib to a big girl bed. Of course, like most daughters do, she asked her dad, my paw paw, which set would be the best. They went out looking and he wasn’t happy with anything they found. He felt the quality vs. the price wasn’t there. He was the type of person who also liked to make things and because of that, he handcrafted my bedroom set. Made of sturdy wood and a beautiful stain. I still have the set today for my daughters! I guess I inherited his love for quality and frugality. With that said, I build all the time and I have a shop full of tools. I post a lot of things on this website that are DIY and some things require power tools and the point of these posts are to show creativity and help save people money! If you can build something for a fraction of the cost and it last a lot longer, why not?!
I realize not everyone has access to power tools, so I try to do a good mix of craft store projects and building projects. However, some items, like Grace’s Bakery, will just require a power tool with no substitutions if you want an exact copy. So, I have a favorite woodworking store, and it’s Rockler. It is a great place to find tools and items that every woodworker needs! I’m telling you this not to make you go buy anything because you can get cheaper tools at a Lowes or Home Depot, but because Rockler is having a few fabulous giveaways! Honestly, I myself would LOVE to win this!! Who doesn’t like giveaways?! Check it out and enter!
