Kitchen Sink Drain Board | Drainer Boards | Dish Drain Rack Board

These heavy commercial duty drain boards slant down to the sink.  Unlike the flat drain trays, these drain boards allow water from wet dishware to drain down into a home style kitchen sink and not run out on to the counter and floor.

These hard to find drain boards are Amish made and used by the Amish in their own homes.

Since the Amish have large families with no mechanical dishwashers they process mounds of dishes, pots, pans and utensils after each meal.

The large Stainless Steel drain board not only holds a standard drying rack it allows room on the side to also dry long cooking utensils.   The large 20-1/2” x 18-/4” foot print provides ample area for large sheet pans that tilt out of a drying rack to catch the drip off.

Remove the rack and dry those over sized commercial style pots and pans.

Drain board also serves as an extra work area to wash off vegetables and other food items when using a colander.

The mill finish stainless steel fits in even the most upscale kitchens to match other stainless cooking equipment.

Rolled edges provide a smooth metal edge for daily use and cleaning.

Standard size ships quickly, custom sizes are also available with a 3-4 week build time. 

These drain boards are also being used in commercial kitchens and food trucks to satisfy the health department requirements for additional air drying space.

Stainless Steel Drain Board 

A smaller powder coated all aluminum drain board is also available.  Measuring 14-1/4”  x 20-3/8” size this economy drain board still provides a good drain off underneath standard size drainer racks.

The powder coated all aluminum drain board is  also small and compact for limited kitchen counter spaces.  Perfect for apartments, RV’s and summer cottages.

Standard color is white, you can even have them made with custom colors for bold retro décors!

Powder Coated Aluminum Drain Board

These drain boards are only available at Cottage Craft Works.com.  Cottage Craft Works is a unique back to basics general store that searches out these hard to find  functional products to offer to the general public. 

White Mountain Ice Cream Freezer Replacement Tub Center

If you've been pulling your hair out looking endless on the Internet to find a replacement tub center you can find them at Cottage CraftWorks .com

Many with perfectly good white mountain ice cream freezers are unable to use them simply because this little but critical part has deteriorated  away and no one seems to have them except Cottage Craft Works.

Replacement tub center fits the older white mountain freezers.  This is the small part that sits in the bottom of the tub  for the  canister to spin on.

The original tub centers were made of cast metal that over the years rusted down from repeated  contact with the salt water.

Even better the new replacement tub center can’t rust.  It has been designed out of a tough durable delrin poly and comes with stainless steel screws.

This is the same poly material that is being used in commercial food processing equipment for bearings and glide blocks.

Cottage Craft Works .com also has most all the other replacement parts for the White Mountain freezers including electric motors, gear housings, wooden tubs, dashers and the stainless cans.

Cottage Craft Works .com is a unique general store that still carries many of the old fashion products and replacement parts.

Hand Push Garden Cultivators | American Made Garden Tools

In this day of cheaper imported products it sometimes becomes difficult to find good old fashion American made garden tools.

If you’re a weekend hobby gardener or a serious homesteader who depends on the garden for food the tools that you choose can make a world of difference in the work that it takes to have a successful harvest.

As we all age and have more time to spend in the garden the tools that we use also need to become more easier for us to handle.

A tool might look sturdy enough when you purchase it in the store but the facts become very apparent soon after you’re in the garden putting it to work.

When we look for great garden tools we go directly to the people who build and use the tools to sustain large families just as they were doing in the early 1900s.

We’re talking about the Amish communities who depend on garden tools to get the job done year after year.

The Amish depend on large garden harvest to sustain their families throughout the year.

The Amish use sturdy well made tools and if they can’t find them they begin to build or find someone who will build reproductions just like they remember from generations past.

Although a trip to Amish country is fun, for those who are not able to make the trip seeking these alternative garden tools you can find them at the back to basic store Cottage Craft Works http://www.cottagecraftworks.com

You will find a large selection of old fashion push hand cultivators and garden tools that you won’t find at your local hardware store.

The Classic Garden EZ-Till Cultivator is a favorite of many Amish women who like a small maneuverable garden cultivator to push.  It uses a 16” ball bearing rubber wheel and has the traditional hardwood handles that can be adjusted to heights.   It has standard 19” wide cultivator tines and optional furrowing shovel and cultivator blades.

The Weed & Till Rotary Garden Cultivator is equipped with the traditional cultivator tines,  but instead of having a front wheel the cultivator has a rolling metal drum made with sharp blades that helps to chops weeds forward of the tines.  The handle is made of 1” square tubing with a hardwood handle like the old reel mowers.  This cultivator also has an optional furrowing shovel.

 The Flip and Go Wheeled Garden Cultivator works well for those who don’t want to waste time taking attachments on and off.  This unique cultivator has the traditional garden tines as you would expect to see on a garden cultivator, but on top it has also has a garden plow attached that can be engaged by simply flipping the handles over.   The cultivator also has T screws to easily adjust the handle height between different users.

Wheel Hoe Cultivators are probably one the most durable user friendly garden cultivators on the market today.  They also provide the most options in attachments of any cultivator ever built.

These are actual reproductions of the famous Planet Junior Cultivators that dominated the market when almost every home in America depended on a backyard garden to supply their annual food source such as the Amish still do today.

The basic models begin with the Standard Single Wheel Hoe.  It uses a single wheel like most push cultivators.   The wheel is much smaller, thus it easier to maneuver around in the garden than the traditional.   

The attachments range from the traditional tines, plows, with the additions of various widths of slicing blades, sweeps, harrow disk and even a garden seed planter.

The plows can be purchased in a right and left hand set that allow you to hill up planting rows or open up the row to plant potatoes. 

The Double Wheel Hoe model uses all the same attachments.  It allows you to straddle the rows of  new plantings to cultivate both sides at the same time.

Ice Cream Freezer Parts | We Stock All White Mountain and Country Freezer Parts

If you have been searching for repair parts for your White Mountain Freezer you have probably clicked on a lot of sites that end up saying the parts are no longer available.

Even White Mountain will tell you they don’t carry all the old replacement parts.

We may just be the only supplier where you can get the replacement parts for the older cream color or new green color freezers.

Cottage Craft Works .com  carries many Amish made products and since Ice Cream Freezers are used extensively in the Amish communities for large gatherings they need to keep their old freezers in working order.

If they can no longer get the parts the Amish will re-manufacture them to fit.  Such as the White Mountain tub centers.   When the Amish build things they build them to last.  Instead of reproducing the old cast iron tub centers that rust out from the  salt water the Amish developed a replacement tub center made out of UHMW food grade plastic that is used in commercial food processing equipment.

In fact the new  hand crank White Mountain Freezers sold at Cottage Craft Works  have had the gears replaced with USA Amish made gears.

Cottage Craft Works .com also carries  The Amish built Country Freezers and the all new insulated Immergood freezer along with all the repair parts for those models.

Cottage Craft Works .com is a unique back to basics general store catering to the self-sufficient and sustainable living lifestyles.  With over 5000 products for the home, farm and garden you will find old fashioned products mostly USA made in Amish shops and small family owned businesses.

Country and Immergood Ice Cream Freezers are all Amish USA made.

Quilter Featherweight card table | Reproduction | 221 | 301

New reproduction Featherweight folding card table for Singer 221 and 301 sewing machines.

As a real bonus the 221 Featherweight machines will also fit into the 301 reproduction tables.

Per customer request Cottage Craft Works .com has added Amish built replica folding card tables that will fit the Singer 221 and both short and long base Singer 301 machines.

Cottage Craft Works .com already has an established line up of custom and reproduction sewing cabinets including Singer reproduction treadle cabinets to fit the old Singer Class 15 machines and the newer Janome 712T treadle machines.

The 221 Featherweight and 301 machines were made by Singer in the early to mid 1900s and are prized possessions of quilters everywhere. Up until now those who have not acquired one of the original folding card tables continue to only dream of finding one at an estate sale or remain leery of purchasing one that is listed online.

The 301 tables are so rare that most 301 owners are not even aware that a folding table was even made for these machines as well.

It’s not uncommon for quilters to have both the 221 and 301 machines and now to have a folding table option that will hold both machines is like having icing on the cake.

The 221 Featherweight is a small workhorse perfect for light weight materials.  Quilters love them because they are compact and portable yet they remain a real work horse unlike anything built today.

When it comes to stitching in heaver materials the old 301s are hard to beat so having the two different models just adds to the quilter versatility arsenal.

The reproduction Featherweight tables from Cottage are made to the same size and height of the originals.  The new tables may even be built stronger than the originals as they use ¾” plywood cherry veneer tops with a full ¾” cherry hardwood edge board.

The folding table legs are the same legs used to build large heavy game tables used for table top tennis and ping pong.   The legs have been adapted as some of the original Featherweight tables had the fourth leg made to fold in order to clear the table bracing.  Cottage uses a telescoping snap lock end to accomplish this.

The Singer 301 machines were made in both short and long bed models.  The reproduction tables can be ordered specific to just the 221 model or for the 301 models. 

The 221 sits in the 301 tray at the same height and just slides over to the left to compensate for the difference in the 301 machine length.

A table ordered for the 301 long bed will also fit the 301 short bed and the 221 Featherweight.

Equine Oat Crimper | Oat Roller | Hobby Horse Farm Oat Roller

Crimped or machine rolled oats have been reported to provide better Equine nutrition while making the Equine digestion process easier over standard oats.

The rolling process breaks open the hard protective outer shell allowing the nutritious soft inside to be better absorbed before passing through the digestive system.

Freshly rolled oats allow the nutritional value to be consumed when it’s right at the peak.   Oats rolled in a processing plant and then bagged for shipment will lose some of the nutritional aspects.

For those who have been purchasing crimped or rolled oats to feed to horses, you will be happy to learn of the new oat crimpers from Cottage Craft Works that can be used right in the stable or horse trailer.

Those who are currently purchasing rolled oats in the bag are probably paying an additional $2-$3 for a 50 lb bag over a year’s time that can really add up.

Rolled oats go further as well.  Those feeding rolled oats have noticed up to 30% less feed consumption.

Whether you have one or two horses or up to 30 head of horses the oat crimpers at Cottage Craft Works will do the job.

A hand crank portable unit will sit on a 5 gallon bucket.  It’s the perfect solution for a one or two horse hobby farms or to haul on the horse trailer.  The hand crank can even be removed and replaced with an electric drill.

A wall mount electric crimper is also available.  Equipped with a ¾ HP electric motor this compact crimper mounts right on the wall in the stable or horse trailer to crimp 30 lbs of oats in as little as 6 minutes.  The hopper will hold 5 gals of oats at a time.

This unit can also be mounted on to a bin with an overhead hopper for continuous flow operations.

CCW-3 stationary oat crimper also handles corn and barley!  This is a heavy duty crimper for larger ranches.  Unit will crimp 50 lbs of oats in about a minute. 

CCW-2 stationary oat crimper is ideal for operations up to 12 head. 

Oat crimpers are USA Amish made and are being used on Amish and non-Amish farms and ranches.

Rental Bikes | Scooters | Tourist-Resort-Beach Income Rental | Push Scooters

These cute kick scooters will likely be a hit to add to an existing rental fleet or to start a new  rental revenue stream.

Bike rentals are a great seasonal income for resort and tourist areas. Adorable scooters are fun to ride, provide a better workout than a standard bicycle and are very rental friendly.

Push scooters use the same tires and wheels as a standard bicycle but do not have a seat, peddles or chain and sprockets to get messed up.

Having no chain or pedals means less maintenance and up keep for the shop owner.

The rider stands on the platform and gently swings one foot and leg down to propel forward.

Scooters come in all sizes so that and entire family can rent scooters together.

With the front baskets riders can stop at shops along the way and purchase souvenirs that they may not be able to tote back on a standard bicycle.

Scooters are not new but not as common in the US as they are in European countries where they have been used for years instead of a standard bicycle.

Those looking for the exercise benefits, especially seniors are finding that scooters are easier to mount and ride than a traditional bicycle.

They also provide a great core work out as the body is more in action. 

By adding scooters to your rental fleet, you may find more senior couples renting them than families. 

Even seniors  who have suffered strokes are finding  adult kick scooters to be very easy to balance and ride.

Most of us as kids learned to push along on a scooter before we graduated to a bike with training wheels.

The low center of gravity and ease to step on and off takes the fear out of climbing back on a traditional bicycle.

Push scooters are USA Made in the Pennsylvania Dutch Amish communities, where they are used in rental fleets in tourist towns as well as widely used by the Amish in those communities.

You may have even seen them in use on some of the recent Amish shows.

Cottage Craft Works .com sells many different types of scooters made in the USA.

Quantity discounts are available.  Shop owners may also earn additional income by selling or referral of sales of scooters.

Unlike bicycles that are widely available everywhere these scooters are not easy to find and purchase at a local bike shop. Once they are ridden the desire to own one is very high.
