After my old table saw stopped working I didn't want to throw away the old tabletop and base. So I turned it into a new router table.

Found The Elk

My oldest is learning to drive so I took her out driving yesterday. Of course I grabbed my camera “just in case.” We hopped in the car and she asked where she should go. I said it doesn’t matter, but to just “Find the elk.” She’s a good listener, and she took us by a […]

Basic Bathroom Upgrade

We were having some issues with the upstairs toilet and had to turn off the water. The tank had been leaking, which ended up causing the bolts to become pretty rusted. As we were replacing the toilet, we decided to upgrade a few other parts of the bathroom because there were more issues than just […]

Making a Bookshelf With My Son

My son reads a lot, and I mean a lot. The bookshelf he’s had in his bedroom was my old bookshelf from when I was a kid. It was too small and did not hold all of his books, and it was literally falling apart. We told him that we would build him a new […]

Making Beautiful Walnut Charcuterie Boards

After I made a charcuterie board for my wife, she showed photos of it to several of our friends. A few of them asked for one of their own, and I was happy to oblige. And I figured that since I was going to be making some, it would be a good opportunity to make […]

Grooming Cat and Kitten

At The Fight With Depression we work to encourage people through their struggles with mental illness. Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that lift us up while we are down. And it often does come when or in the ways we expect. Honestly, I have been discouraged the past couple days. I’m still struggling […]
