Flipping Solitaire ... Lazy edition

ΟΚ I like solitaire ... but I am a bit lazy and I don't want to spend any time in putting the pions back into their place... so I figured out that I have to go back to my garage-workshop and make a solitaire board that could skip this step ... and here it is, my flipping solitaire lazy edition ;)

It's not the final project, there are still some improvements to make ...
The rules of playing are  the same, but you don't take out any of the pions, you just push and pull them.
Have a look at the video down below to understand how it works ...

Wooden board solitaire

A friend of mine gave the idea to make a board solitaire game. 
The board is made of MDF wood and the pions are aluminum rivets and colored pencils.

Breakfast (literally meaning "breaking the fast" of the night) is the first meal taken after rising from a night's sleep, most often eaten in the early morning before undertaking the day's work.^[1] Among English speakers, "breakfast" can be used to refer to this meal, or, less commonly, to refer to a meal composed of traditional breakfast foods (eggs, oatmeal, sausages, etc.) served at any time of day. read more ...

Rocking donkey

I was thinking of making a gift for the son of a friend of mine, so I did a small web research

and bumped into a rocking animals eshop. I bought some wood, took my tools and voila.

Hope you like it.

If I had one when I was young I would possibly ride it till now ;)

Pergolas

My first big project 3 pergolas

I recently lost my job as a veterinary assistant (greek crisis or boss's menopausal wife, not sure yet but for sure that was not funny at all ;) ),
so I said why not, let's see if my love for wood can give me some money.
I was asked to make 3 pergolas at the EVANESCENCE residencies in Delfini beach in Cyclades Syros islands Greece.
Great place by the way.

So here's the result so far. I will add some more photos when it's finished.

Muskoka chair

Muskoka chair or Adirondack chair

An Adirondack chair or Muskoka chair is a type of chair favored in rural, outdoor settings. The precursor to today's Adirondack chair was designed by Thomas Lee in 1903. He was on vacation in Westport, New York, in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, and needed outdoor chairs for his summer home. He tested the first designs on his family. The name Muskoka was adopted from the municipality of Muskoka, Ontario,^[1][2] a cottage country area north of Toronto.  read more
