One of the hazards of being a recycling woodworker is the drive by pick up. Sometimes it is worth an immediate stop and sometimes it sticks with you and you have to go back for a closer look. It all depends on what part is broken or in need of repair, what tools you have and what the cost of replacement parts or materials might be.

Sometimes it is a wasted trip upon a closer look–such was the case today. A rocker along side the road at 35 mph looked like a repairable thing, but at a dead stop it was too far gone to be worth it. Sometimes you get lucky–like the time I grabbed an Adirondack chair off a trash pile and all it needed was some sanding, screw tightening, and a new finish. Bonanza!

New to the blogging world, this intrepid soul embarks on a blog of her own. Not that she is unfamiliar with blogs, but rather never thought she would start one of her own. But it seems like a fun thing to do and the process interests her as a web designer.

OK, done talking in the third person. Hello and welcome to the Rustixs.com blog where I intend to discuss projects and techniques and just stuff I am trying in the craft world. We shall see–I have never been much of a diary-keeper and I suspect I may be no better at this.

Enjoy!
