BuildFromPlans

I retired from the Coast Guard 23 years ago and in the years that followed I started to design and build projects. Perhaps my most successful project was a device that stretches art on canvas, it is a fully pneumatic machine that produces tight, uniform gallery wraps ( a method that has become very popular in the art industry). It Is called the “Gallery Stretcher” and it has been sold in some of the most remote locations of the world. This minor success was sort of a “springboard” for me and inspired me to develop other devices. I created a weeding tool that actually shoots the weed several feet directing into the waste bin, called the “Weed Zinger”. It was relatively successful but apparently not everyone is as passionate about weed removal as I am...but it is still available online on Amazon, EBay, Walmart and other major sites.

My build plans are inexpensive and can be built inexpensively by someone with basic hand tool skills. I encourage you to modify these builds to suite your needs and I encourage you to submit photos of your builds. I am certain someone will build a better version.

Earlier in my retirement I took an interest in pen and ink drawing. I chose Pointillism because it was strangely therapeutic despite being a slow and methodical process. Most of my drawings took between 100 - 300 hours to create, with about 8 hours on the eyes alone.

Happy Building,
