This week it was supposed to be really cold here in New Zealand so it was time for me to make this firewood holder to go next to our wood stove.
The stove is our primary source of heat when it's cold out and it does a lot better job than you might think.
This is made from about $15 (nzd) of pine, which is actually pretty amazing as some things on these islands are rather expensive.
It's a utilitarian design that has a few esthetic elements to greet the eye.
Most all of this can be achieved with a mallet, a couple chisels and a hand saw.
I'ved used it a couple of days now and I'm very pleased I made it so far. Just the fact that I don't have to bend down as far is a blessing. Yes, that means I'm starting to turn into an old man.
Check out my website at, http://cleanphilwanted.com, for updates of my current projects and more details on my previous ones.
Please subscribe so you don't projects as they come out, comment and thumbs up! Next week will be a sewing/wood episode where I make a carrier to bring the wood into this holder!
I also occasionally post project photos to instagram (but mostly of New Zealand and my dog Ned):

and I just started a facebook page at, https://www.facebook.com/cleanphilwanted/ , though nothing has been posted there just yet, as it's just started.
Thanks,
