Hobbies are fun in themselves, but when you build them and then can play

with them it is even more exciting.  Check out the hobbies page of this

website.  I have added some more exciting top rated kits for your enjoyment.

I have a HELICOPTER also which with radio controlled can be very hard. Here

are some pictures of the new hobby challenges.

Corona Dollhouse


I just bought a Dremel kit with several bits. I am going to be working on some small wood projects for my daughter. One is going to be a doll house. I have ordered the wood kit and have the other tools necessary for the project.
Both the doll house and the dremel can now be found on the woodworking kits page.

1st dollhouse kit

We have all seen wooden toys in the movies.  Have you ever thought about building some of them yourself?  There are many tools to help you build your own little toy story you can share with your children.  There are patterns and plans you can purchase to build your own toys.  Then have your child help paint them to make them their own.  They will figure out the story and change it on a daily bases as they play with the toys you built.

Wooden Kitchen

From doll houses you build to their very own toy kitchen.  You can build it all for your child.  Let them use their imagination to creat the stories and sit back and listen to them.  You may come up with a best seller some day.  You will always be in the front row seat.

Vegetable Garden

storage work cart

Have you tried the gardening page?  I am eating  spinach with yellow squash coming on soon.  Starting the garden early inside helps.  The mens tool bucket also helps as I am working in the garden.  I just got this and it has come in so handy.  When I was transplanting to the outside I could keep the plants close by while having my tools near me to use.  Everyone should have one of these or the work cart for their gardening.

13 piece wood chisel set

The wood chisel sets I have sure helped this week.  I have been refinishing a pie hutch and could not get into the detail work on the crown molding.  This wood chisel set allowed me to get the smallest crevice cleaned out.  I then was able to put a new coat of stain on it and coat it with polyurethane to protect it.  I bought the unit for $95 used and refinished it for less then $20.  It looks like a fine piece of furniture again.  Now I may try my wife’s dinning table and hutch.

Wood Carving Tools

Check these tools out.  I am currently refinishing a Pie Hutch and I am having to sand off the old stain and work it out of the crevices.  Both these sets of tools have come in handy for those hard to reach places.

Having the right tools makes a very hard job easy and saves a lot of time.  Whither working on a large piece like the hutch or working on a small bird house you need the right tools.  Take a look at the Woodworking kits page for project ides and a place to get these tools.
