$10 off $10 purchase at Rockler Woodworkers

There's something about the smell of sawdust that's comforting and intoxicating. We live in a heavily forested area that's continuously being logged. When it's close, I can sometimes smell the dust in the air. I also love the smell of a workshop where wood's been cut. My grandfather used to have a barn in his backyard and I loved to be out there when he'd been working on lumber. Working with wood can be very relaxing and soothing. There's a great sense of satisfaction when a piece is completed, no matter how small. David just finished a walking stick, carved lovingly one draw at a time.

If you're a woodworker, you might be familiar with Rockler, one of the better quality online suppliers for crafters. Right now, you can get $10 off any purchase over $10. Shipping is excluded, of course, and runs $6.98 and up, depending upon how much you order. They have some good bargains, especially if you're looking for drawer pulls or knobs. They're clearancing out some discontinued models at .99 apiece. Eleven of them will cost you only pennies, tax, and shipping when you use the code below. Simply enter the code "V7227" in the Promotion Code section of the checkout.

If the man in your life is a woodworker or carpenter, they have a wonderful item for Father's Day (yes, it's time already to be thinking about Father's Day). It's a personalized branding iron for their work, like the branding you see in fine furniture. They can be pricey, but some of the lower end ones are under $30. They heat up like a wood burner (remember when we played with them as kids and burned our fingers?) and leave the brand in the wood.

There are other really interesting ideas at the Rockler site. For me, I'm going to get the American Revival drawer pulls for a favorite dresser, and give it a facelift!
