A self-taught woodworker and grandmother of nine, Barb is retired from owning a bookstore for twenty years, then retired from managing a local branch of a tour bus company, and is now an elderly care giver for family in need. The siren call of the workshop is always within reach!

Shop Upgrades #3: Hand tools rack

Just a note to fellow woodworkers…I’ve decided to close down my retail website at Vista Print. I’ve loved having it, but now I want to shift all my wood products over to Etsy.com just to simplify things. Etsy has done a good job of promoting their business and drawing in customers, and having products on one site instead of two will simplify my on-line web time considerably. Working wood is wonderful, but spending hours on the computer for promoting things, well, it just sucks! ;-)
