This is used for pulling out and pushing back in oven racks.
"Put warmth back in your home"

like open/close signs.
which he outlined here on his blog.
Ross provided me with some great answers to my interview questions:
1) How does your art practice fit in to your life?
It's actually vary hard to fit my wood working into my life. I have a wonderful wife and two perfect little children. I love to do my wood working, but don't get much time to do much work in my shop. Most of the things I make are for family members who need something made.
2) Where does everything come together?
I have a small shop in the basement of my home. I get most of my ideas from magazines. I put ideas together to come up with my own design.
3) Do you have any specific goals for your Etsy site or art practice?
I would love to have a bigger shop outside of my home and make more items and expand my Etsy shop.
4) What would be your super power if you could have one?
If I could have a super power, I think I would stop time to give myself more time to get things done and spend more time with my family.
5) Recommend a good book and movie
I don't get much time to watch movies or read books. I am a guy, so I any action or car movie. Not many people like them, but I kinda like the Fast & Furious movies. I know, lame.
6) Where do you live in the world? What do you like most about it?
I currently live in Dekalb, Il. I really don't like it here, except for being in close driving distance to everything. This is where I can afford a house. I grew up outside a small town, near a bunch of farm fields and would like to go back to that area some day. Hopefully Etsy can help me get there.
