| Article Title :: Building a Wood Ladder |

|
This is a simple project that should only take a couple of
hours to complete.
Start by clamping the two 12' - 2x4's. The rungs are notched
into the 2x4 upright 1-1/8" so we need to mark out notches. The
top and bottom rungs are 8" from the ends. This is the top of
the upper rung and the bottom of the lower one. Offset these
marks 2-1/2" (the width of the 2x3 rungs).
Now measure out for the rest of the rungs. Lay your tape measure
on the 8" mark made earlier and measure 16" increments. These
marks represent the center of the intermediate rungs. Offset
these marks 1-1/4" on either side.
Square off the marks you have just made down the face of the 2x4
uprights. Square your marks across the (read full article) |

Golden Christmas Tree
Several Years ago while I was shopping for Christmas I stopped
dead in my tracks when I saw the holiday arrangements at the
department store I was in.
I was dazzled by the sight, golden branches wrapped in twinkling
white lights. The idea was so simple but yet absolutely
beautiful.
Within a moment I decided I would re-create it at home. Once
home, I took a walk in the woods to gather the necessary
branches and the other materials were easily found at my local
craft store.
I created three trees that year and placed them on my front
porch; two smaller ones on the left side of the door and a
larger one to the right. The effect was just what (read full article) |

| Article Title :: SIGNED VS. UNSIGNED-BUYING VINTAGE JEWELRY, ART |
| |
|
There is always a large debate between the “real” collectors,
and your basic lover of beautiful items...should you buy items
that are signed by well known and highly sought after designers
and artists, or should you just buy what you love and what
appeals to you, whether signed or not?
The answer usually lies in how fat your wallet is, and the
reason you are buying in the first place. Highly sought after
designers, especially in jewelry and art, are both usually very
highly over-priced, as well as you often run the risk of getting
a “knock-off” either at the ignorance of the seller, or the
actual attempt to lead you astray of your hard-earned money.
While I am on this subject, it (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Choosing The Right Digital Camera For You |
| |
|
Let's get something straight right out of the box. If you're
looking to buy a new digital camera, you don't really have to be
an expert in pixels and mega pixels and all that kind of stuff.
If you expect to find that kind of deep technical discussion
here, you're in the wrong place. Actually, there's a whole lot
of stuff you don't really need to know before tackling the
daunting task of choosing the right digital camera for you.
First of all, forget all the high-tech jargon. It's mostly a lot
of sales hype anyway. Choosing a good unit is pretty simple
really...pretty much all you have to remember is that the higher
the mega pixel rating on the front of the camera, the bigger

The [yellow tail] range of wines have taken the world by storm.
And so they should. They are excellent Australian wines which
are consistently good. They have clearly won the battle for
everyday wines at their particular price range.
But they are a made from classical French grape varieties,
Chardonnay, Riesling, Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon. As such
they represent the successes of Australian winemaking in the
1980s and 1990s.
