Build An Heirloom Grandfather Clock Using These Pre-cut Clock Kits.

These pre-cut ready to assemble grandfather clocks will leave a stunning impression and a heirloom legacy.

Kits come complete with all the wood parts, beveled glass and a high quality German made 8-day triple chime movement.

The clock will chime with the three most popular chimes, Westminster, St. Michael and Whittington chimes.

No worry about keeping the household awake at night with an automatic night shut off.

You will need the carpentry and woodworking tools and basic knowledge of glue up the cabinet.

One of the secrets in glue up construction is to have a large assortment of wood working clamps to properly align and apply equal pressure across the glue joints.

The other key to a successful finish is to be sure all the excess glue squeezed from the joints if completely washed off the outside wooden parts.

Once excess glue dries it seals the wood and leaves blotch marks when the stain is applied.

Wood cabinet parts are made in the USA by skilled craftsman. Some minor small trim cutting may be required.

Keeping grandfather clock completely level is critical; the pendulum will not swing correctly to keep the proper time.

If the clock is tilted toward the front or back the pendulum may rub on the case and cause damage. The clock kits include leveling legs.

A locking door keeps helping hands from messing up the chain and weight system.

Two models are available; both have the option of oak or cherry.

The traditional St. Paul and St. John models have carved finial and keystone raised crotch top. The York and Nottingham models formal have tiered bonnet arched tops with raised book match panels.

Complete grandfather clock kits run $2000 in either oak or cherry. These clocks sold completely assembled would cost up to $4000.

Hunting | Waterfowl | Decoys | Tangle Free Riggings

Now imagine my fears working with decoys, rigging cords and weights

That makes me the official untangler! I spend hours sorting out the knots and kinks left after my husband tangles everything together.

It doesn't matter a ball of twine, fishing line, strings of Christmas lights, rope or extension cords he can put them away carefully, but when it comes time to use again just one pull out of the box and it’s a mess.

Now imagine my fears working with decoys, rigging cords and weights. Yea, the weights get wrapped around other lines, duck heads and who can imagine what else.

Now imagine how happy I was to find these tangle free rigging's made in the USA.

They are made heavy duty using a PVC coated cable that won’t crimp or stretch and best of all they won’t tangle together.

Traditional rigs are made using rope or monofilament line. As we know rope tangles and monofilament line acts like it has come into contact with a curling iron, twisting and curling around just about anything that it can.

Rope and nylon materials also absorb water and have to be replaced often when the fibers begin to break down.

You can throw the decoys in a bag with these rigging's attached, dump them at the edge of the water and pull one by one out free of tangles.

Picking them up after the hunt is great as well. Using the old rigging's keeping your hands out of the cold water was virtually impossible as you round up the decoys.

With these rigs you simply lift the decoy out of the water by its head and slip the rigging loop on to a “D” Ring clip.

You can hang them to dry using the “D” Ring and then just pick them up and drop them in a bag for the next outing.

They even come with a camo carrying bag.

The innovated rigging's have a slip lead that allows the decoy to automatically adjust to the water depth.

The rigs clip on to the decoy keel, there’s no knot tying needed. The strong cable will never rot or break so decoys don’t drift away.

The PVC coated cable also stays flexible even on cold days.

The standard 48” long rigs come packaged per dozen all made up and equipped with 4 oz teardrop weights.

Custom rigs can also be ordered shorter, longer, or with heavier weights.

A dozen rigs with the "D" Ring and camo bag will run you around $35. Not bad considering these are ready to snap and go.

Sorry guys this great idea is already Patent Pending.

Tangle Free Decoy rigs can be order at Cottage Craft Works .com

American Made CCW Concealed Carry Gun Holsters

Our Quality American Made Hand Crafted Leather Holsters vs. massed produced and the Imports.

Just like a custom made pair of cowboy boots, our leather craftsmen make each one of our leather holsters and products one at a time. They use only the best heavy-weight, premium leather harvested and tanned in the United States. Unlike other leather imported from foreign countries such as Mexico, leather tanned in the United States utilizes a vegetable oil tanning process. Many of the leather products imported still use urine, some of it Human, in the tanning process, thus when the leather becomes wet it will actually give off a foul urine odor. This will often occur with Mexican and other imported cheap leather products. The leathers used in our products are also much thicker than the imported leather, and will hold up to even to hardest use and abuse to someday become a family heirloom.

Using thicker leather means the stitching has to be thicker; our craftsmen use a thread thickness very similar to cord. The thicker the leather the better the holes punched during the sewing process will not pull through on the edges after years of hard use. Also the thicker the thread, the less likely it will break at the corners and other stress points in the leather product. Our craftsmen also double and triple stitch stress points such as belt loops, to provide years of use.

Our fancy tooled leather is actually hand tooled the old fashioned way. A tradition passed down from generations of leather craftsmen. The imported and many American mass produced leather products use a process of machine stamping to simulate the look of hand tooled leather.

Each of our handcrafted leather holsters are cut to the exact fit for a specific pistol and the exact barrel length. Massed produced holsters are cut to one size to fit multiple pistols and then machine molded to fit a specific range of pistol sizes. This process may vary on how a specific pistol and barrel length will fit into the holster. Too much play and the pistol may easily fall out when a concealed carried weapon individual bends over, or the weapon may fit too snug making it difficult to draw when time is critical.

Machine molding can actually thin and weaken the leather around the profile of the weapon, this area is also the most common wear point during the life of a holster, and thus the potential for wear tear through in a short time is very high. The stress points on our leather products are riveted together using cadmium plated rivets; Cadmium protects the metal from corrosion and blackening around the rivet and or rusting when the leather becomes wet. Many cheap holsters are made with inferior rivets that blacken the leather or will rust and eventually separate.

On the leather holsters using a belt clip, our craftsmen uses only the best quality heavy duty stainless steel clips. The clips are full enclosure device to lock securely around the belt. Others will use a short clip much like on a tape measure. These often pop off the belt during bending and kneeling. When carrying around a loaded weapon, the worst thing that can happen is for a clip to easily pop off or the clip breaks from stress allowing the weapon to fall out to the floor or to a hard surface and potentially discharge.

Sure you can find cheaper holsters online, but you won't find any at the quality that we provide her at Cottage Craft Works.
