Herb Stripper
I really enjoy growing and saving herbs for the winter and this week I sun-dried a bunch. While stripping the herbs from their stems with my fingers, as I have always done, I thought – there must be a better way. And, sure enough, herb strippers are a thing. But rather than buy one I…

Sight Glass Marker
If you have a sight glass on a hot liquor tank or other tank and want to be able to set level markers this is the part for you. I made one that you can slide up and down or reposition to set a starting or ending level, as well as a graduated marker that…

Bread Slicing
This is a knife guide for cutting bread. It folds neatly for storage. The base extends out to support the portion of the loaf that is not in the cutting zone. An end wall flips up to position the loaf for cutting. No hardware or fasteners are required. It simply snaps together and works!
