The Old Barn Workshop

The Old Barn Workshop Small Home-Based Business I started doing woodworking in 2004 and started attending local Farmer's Markets that fall.

In 2011 I started listing items on Kijiji and it worked well for a couple years but it has been frustrating for a while now; I don't know if Kijiji is not handling emails well or if people are not checking their spam folders but I have lost a lot of business because people are not replying to my emails. Having The Old Barn Workshop page has not really generated any income for me but at least people are seeing what I am making.

Over the past few months I have built several items and they are ready for new owners. There are medicine cabinets at $420; spice shelves at $210; I have several coat shelves at $105 and up; a tall book shelf at $1100; a tree book shelf at $420; a heritage bench at $210. There is also a record shelf and a potato bin and a 4 foot tall book shelf plus a saddle stand. I have started going to the Rycroft Farmer's Market again and have several of the items there. If you are interested in any of the items please let me know. Thank you.

I am building Finger Hockey Games. If anyone wants any please let me know. They are $42 each. They are 16 X 24 inches. ; made of hardboard and oak. There are 16 pucks and the boards are unfinished. The bands are bungee cords and the only color available is black. Some of them may have a slight twist and I have had to add a shim to level them; it has happened after the games were assembled.

Sorry I haven't been sharing anything for several months now but I haven't really been in the shop for anything other than building myself vegetable planters. Since we were told to stay home 3 months ago I have not had any orders so it has been very quiet. Thankfully, I live on a farm so can get outside daily to look after my cattle and since the beginning of May been helping my brothers with their farm but it has not been a good spring and things are drenched; fields are flooded and the farmers that did get their crops in are watching their crops turn yellow from all the rain. No real relief in sight for another week. Take care and I hope you are all well.

I am currently in the process of building 11 coat shelves. Over the summer I was able to purchase some new wall paper borders which I hope will be popular. They were way more expensive than any I have bought before plus the boards have almost tripled in price so the shelves will be noticeably more expensive.

I did get a couple benches built and delivered. I built one 12 inches wide and one 16 inches wide. She chose the 12 inch one so the 16 inch one is for sale. It is currently on Bidding Wars in Grande Prairie. It is in GP at the moment just in case someone from there does buy it.

All the firewood is hauled; finished last week. One of my daughters has ordered a 5 foot heritage bench with an antique finish. Got the materials and hopefully by the end of today it will be built. Shop is so toasty warm with the wood heat; looking forward to being in there.

It has a been a rough summer for the workshop. I haven't done any work in the shop since April. The farm has taken up all my time and thank goodness it has been providing a bit of an income for me. Not sure when I will find time to get back in the shop; if the weather will warm up I hope to help my brothers get their crops off. I have bought some supplies for the shop and hopefully after harvest I can get back to work for a couple months before the cows start to calve. Still need to haul more firewood also; I have about half of what I need (16 loads so far).
