    Some Christmas Gifts

    Turned these this morning. Most will be given to my co-workers, some will be given to my wife's friends. It only took a few hours to turn them, as I had the wood set aside already. Most of them are cherry, a few are spalted red maple, two are purple heart, and one is some stinky mystery wood...

    Crib (life bed)

    Well, I finally finished the crib that I have been working on (and off) for the last year, and delivered it last week. Today marked the anniversary of the initial design. Luckily the child it was intended for had a loaner crib for a couple of months, but has now moved into his new bed...

    A Sunday with Roy Underhill

    For Christmas, my wife got me into a class with Roy Underhill. It was his dovetail, and tenon joint class, where he teaches dovetails, half blind dovetails, and an intersecting mortise and tenon joint. The wood working was a lot of fun and informational. Having hands on access to just ask...

    Three questions about bandsaws (and stuff)

    So I bought a steel city 14" bandsaw (model 50100), and have it mostly put together in my shop. Now this is my first "real" bandsaw. (I owned a BS99 plastic piece of junk at one time, but felt it was better suited for my kids to take apart, after the aluminum tensioner broke, but that is another...

    Marking Knife

    Since it is the time of year that everyone seems to be doing "project" work, I figured I would post one of the projects that I recently completed. The blade came from http://www.czeckedge.com/, and the wood came from a field of the family. I hope the recipient likes it. :)

    Oops

    So I was working in the shop this past Sunday, and was cutting the corners off some walnut squares with my chop saw. Well, my second youngest came out to talk, and watch me work. That in itself was enough for me to make a mistake. I lifted the blade on the chopsaw while it was still winding...

    Disappointed with the Grizzly jointer

    Not so happy with Grizzly right now. Started using my jointer today for it's second project, and got 3 boards into it, before the motor gave up the ghost. I can turn the motor by hand (and it will turn the blades when I do this), but when I plug it in and flip the switch, it just buzzes at...

    Not so unexpected Gloat

    Well the grizzly jointer (GZ1182ZHW) showed up this morning at the UPS Freight yard. Took the pickup out, brought it home to the shop, and went to work. Wouldn't you know that today would be the first day in months, that I had to put in extra hours. I left the office and 8 and came home and...

    Bowl finish

    What do you bowl turners use for a finish, on a bowl that you know will have food in it. A friend has asked me to make a bowl for her 6 month old to have her first meal from, and I want to make sure the bowl, finish, and child will survive the meal. :) Not to mention the subsequent cleaning....

    Turning pens again...

    I got a chance to turn some pens today. It has been almost 2 years since I turned my last one (also first). I had forgotten how precise you have to be with these darn things. I went through 3 kits today, and ended up with 2 pens, only one of which I like. It is all good though. I am...
