Right now, all scrap proceeds are going into my wife’s business. She sells quilts made from recycled blue jeans. Also, her scrap metal t-shirts have been selling well, so soon, I can get back to...
Wow and congrats, Auminer! Maybe when I finish Baby Step #2, I can look for a place nearly as beautiful!
I get it Greytruck. I do the same, but my County is so small and towns are so tiny that most people already know who I am and what I do. I’ve sold quite a few of my personal shirts locally s people...
Thanks you guys. My typo. (scrappertshirts.com) I left out the s.
I am proud to be a scrapper, and I hope to blend another business into the mix. My wife and I have started an online store featuring scrapper t-shirts. (scrappertshirts.com) We started with a simple...
On a far more serious note, when I started this thread, I had hoped for conversations and inspirations about people fighting and surviving or even thriving through this tough time. I deeply...
During this time off, my wife and I have gone and done something a little bit crazy. After many years of scrapping and several years on this forum, today we have opened scrappertshirts.com. This...
toOnces2 and Patriot76. To say that I enjoy each thread you guys present would be a serious understatement. The time and effort you put into your projects and the corresponding threads are some that...
I taught high school English in Hulett, Wyoming. During six summers, I worked as a seasonal interpretive ranger. I did evening fireside talks three nights a week, wrote and published Devils Tower:...
Thanks, Patriot. I do miss my time in the Black Hills of both South Dakota and NE Wyoming where I taught for 16 years. But my summers as a park ranger were also very important to me. While I worked...
I think your idea about a thread with your restoration projects is a great idea!
First, let me give credit to SmokingMan regarding this thread. I saw his Brunswick phonograph and decided to ask a new poll question to pass the time.
What is the very best antique that you have...
Wow, what a great find. Congrats.
On a bit more of a positive note, “Taking a Break”’is officially over for me. Most scrap prices in FL have bounced back far enough to turn things in profitably. $4.25 per 100 lbs. for shred is doable...
Florida is very similar, KSS. My County is probably 65-70% retirees, so most wear some form of cover. We have special shopping hours for Seniors, and they definitely take advantage of that to stay...
Good news...the painting is done. Bad news...my wife has added a new item to my to-do list: replace the worn kitchen floor. My knees and back are screaming at me just thinking about it. Why couldn’t...
Well, a month has gone by since I started this thread, and by the looks of it, I better add a second month to my scrapping hiatus. No real complaints though as I continue to work from home. I pray...
Nice job, tOOnces2!
Well I certainly have a lot of extra time on my hands these days. Fortunately, my wife is making the best of it. My question is “What projects are you taking on if you have found yourself at home...
With uncertain times and a growing number of coronavirus cases in our community, I’ve decided to take a one month break from scrapping. Other factors roll into this as well. I’m 61 years old as is my...
Unfortunately, my Krispy Kreme diet doesn’t allow for snacks.
Hahahaha! Thanks again. That thread is a true inspiration. As I near retirement and build my shop on my newly purchased property, I only hope to produce gifts similar to those posted by Patriot76....
I’m trying to find the Patriot76 post regarding his incredible Christmas gifts made from scrap. Please help!
Just the opposite in Florida. Picked up 120 pounds of stainless and aluminum from curbco Sunday night in just over an hour. Threw on a small window ac unit and one Compac tower to boot.
Watch an old episode of “Salvage Dawgs” to see a few ideas regarding the wood from bowling lanes.
