    A few repairs, a new coat of paint, sparkly new pulls, and interior flocking turned
    this piece into a stylish, modern Jewelry Armoire.
    Upcycling is not just for craft projects - it
    offers lots of possibilities to make changes
    in your home dcor, especially cabinets and
    furniture that will save money and reduce your
    contribution to the local landfill. Woodcraft
    can help you with upcycling ideas, products
    and advice.
    For the past year, Woodcraft retail stores
    have hosted upcycling demonstrations on the
    third Saturday of the month to help customers
    discover the potential for upcycling in their
    home projects.
    "To support this upcycling effort, Woodcraft.
    com added an Upcycling Resource Center
    to our website (http://www.woodcraft.com/
    media/upcycling.aspx) to introduce viewers
    to upcycling and announce demo topics and
    dates," Vince Grlovich, vice president for sales
    and marketing, said. "Viewers can also watch a
    segment of Lifetime's Designing Spaces where
    Woodcraft product development manager Kent
    Harpool shows host Aliane Baquerot how to
    create a shelf from a wooden pallet."
    Both Woodcraft's Pinterest page (www.
    pinterest.com/woodcraftsupply/upcycling)
    and Instagram gallery (http://instagram.com/
    woodcraftgallery) include upcycling ideas, and
    the blog, Woodworking Adventures (http//:blog.
    woodcraft.com) has featured upcycling several
    times.

    Jewelry Armoire
    Makeover
    Inspired by the upcycling trend, many
    Woodcraft employees have completed
    projects, including marketing manager Lori
    Haught, who transformed a 1980s Jewelry
    Armoire (see photo) into a more stylish,
    modern piece for her bedroom. She gave it a
    new coat of paint, new silver/glass pulls and
    flocking on the drawer interiors. You can see
    the entire process by visiting Woodworking
    Adventures and searching for "The Jewelry
    Armoire Makeover."
    An Irwin Marples Blue Chip Chisel was
    used for the disassembly that was required to
    add new hardware and make other changes
    to Lori's armoire.
    To remove the residue from old finishes
    and polish, Lori chose Norton Soft Touch
    Medium 120-180 Grit Sanding Sponges
    for the contour detailed areas and Preppin
    Weapon Sanding Blocks, loaded with Mirka
    Abranet 23/4" x 8" Sanding Sheets, for
    flat areas. Once the sanding was finished,
    all the pieces were cleaned with General
    Finishes Furniture Cleaner using handy
    Star Wipers rags.
    Three coats of General Finishes Black Gel

    home

    Stain were applied to the armoire. Although


    each coat was allowed to dry overnight
    because of other commitments, the actual
    time required between coats is two to four
    hours. (Gel stains come in 12 other colors
    including the popular java.) Two coats of
    General Finishes High Performance Satin
    Water-Based Top Coat were applied next.
    To prep for the new hardware, Golden
    Oak Water-Base Famowood Filler was used
    to plug screw holes. More chiseling was
    required before a pair of 11/2" X 11/8" Satin
    Nickel Stop Hinges could be installed.
    Before reflocking the drawers, Bulls Eye
    Sealcoat Universal Sanding Sealer was
    applied to the interior of the drawers and
    the dividers. Wearing an Anti Microbial
    Dust Mask and 6 mil Medium Powder Free
    Nitrile Gloves, Lori applied Light Blue Donjer
    Flocking, using a Donjer Mini Flocker.
    Reassembly of the armoire required
    System Three 5-Minute Epoxy and a Bessey
    K-Body REVO Jr. 24" Single Parallel Clamp.
    Other Popular Upcycling Products
    Soy-Gel is a 100 percent biodegradable,
    virtually odorless coating remover. Restor-AFinish can be used to clean and restore the
    luster to a clear finish, as well as hide minor
    issues like scratches. It will also remove
    water rings.
    Milk paint is a popular coating, especially
    for furniture. General Finishes Milk Paint
    is premixed and available in 28 colors that
    can be mixed to make custom colors and
    lend themselves to decorative effects such
    as distressing and antiquing. Old Fashioned
    Milk Paint is a powder that comes in 20 colors
    and is good for use on porous surfaces such as
    bare wood and raw masonry. A special effect
    Old Fashioned Milk Paint Crackle Finish
    provides a weathered look.
    The 23-lb. portable QuikBENCH is
    a lightweight, easy-to-set-up workbench
    capable of holding up to 300 lbs. Convert two
    QuikBENCHES to sawhorses, and together
    they will hold up to 2,000 lbs. Two or more
    benches can be connected together to form
    a workstation. Each bench has a 24"-wide
    by 31/2" opening vise and a 15-amp, circuit
    protected, three-outlet power strip, plus four
    plastic bench dogs.

    DID YOU KNOW?

    A

    considering a metal roof


    should do some comparison
    shopping
    beforemaking
    a decision. Slate tiles are
    another roofing material,
    but one thats very laborintensive to install and, as
    a result, costly as well. But
    slate tiles are very durable,
    in some cases lasting as
    long as half a century or
    more, so homeowners who
    install slate tile can rest
    easy knowing the roof they
    install now will likely be the
    last roof they ever pay for.

    Planting a vegetable garden can be


    a worthwhile endeavor for anyone who
    has an available patch of land. Gardens
    need not take up much space, and even
    apartment dwellers without yards can
    plant small gardens in containers they
    place on terraces or window boxes.
    Although establishing a garden is
    easy enough, beginners may make a
    few mistakes along the way. Those who
    already have paved the garden way
    before can offer novice gardeners some
    worthwhile tips.
    One of the first decisions novice
    gardeners must make is which crops to
    grow. This will help determine how much
    land you will need and which supplies
    or soil amendments will be necessary.
    According to The Old Farmer's Almanac,
    a common error for beginners is planting
    too much and more than anyone could
    ever consume, so it's best to start small
    and be proud of that small garden.
    Plants such as peppers, squash
    and tomatoes produce throughout the
    season, so you may not need many plants
    to provide for your needs. Less prolific
    plants may require a greater investment
    to produce a similar yield.
    Locate your garden in an area that
    gets adequate sun. Many vegetables
    need between six and eight hours of
    sunlight per day. Without enough light,
    they will not bear as much and could
    be susceptible to insect infestation.
    Vegetables and fruit also need plenty of
    water because they're not very droughttolerant, so keep gardens close to a
    water source.
    Another good tip is to locate the
    garden near the house or barbecue grill.
    This way you can easily harvest fresh
    produce and use it when cooking.
    Soil preparation is also key. Till the
    soil and remove debris like rocks, sticks
    and hard clumps of dirt. Work with
    organic material, such as manure or
    compost. Apply mulch after planting to
    help maintain moisture levels in the soil.
    Plant the tallest crops at the rear of
    your garden bed. Work forward with
    shorter crops. Try to leave a foot or more
    between planting rows.
    It's easy to get a garden started and
    enjoy fresh food for many months to
    come.

    repairs for homeowners.


    But homeowners dont have
    to break the bank when it
    comes to replacing a roof,
    which can be made from a
    variety of materials that
    can vary greatly in price.
    Asphalt shingles are the
    most affordable roofing
    material and that budgetfriendly price is one reason
    why asphalt shingles are
    so popular. The asphalt
    shingles of today are also
    durable, which was not
    always the case. Ceramic
    tiles are another roofing
    material, but these tend
    to be quite expensive.
    However, their price has
    made them quite rare,
    which might be attractive to
    prospective buyers when the
    time comes to sell the house.
    Durable and aesthetically
    appealing, metal roofing
    is another option thats
    popular in areas they get
    heavy snowfall because
    snow does not build up on
    the metal like it might on
    other materials. The price
    of metal roofing varies
    significantly, so homeowners
