    Fun with Dados (the 1 gift I made this Christmas)

    My BIL asked for a small utility shelf from Santa he could store his small paint bottles on ( he does some kind of model painting) He gave me basic dimensions and I took some creative liberty from there. I will be giving it to him on Saturday. The strips of wood in the drawer are to keep the...

    Simple project: High fun return

    For the last few years I have made and hung nesting blocks for solitary cavity nesting bees. This nesting is geared towards Blue Orchard bees. They are only active in the spring for about 6 weeks, but I get a lot of enjoyment watching their progress. It allows me to somewhat satisfy my urge to...

    Fun Project

    A friend of mine sent me a link on making these and I thought I would make a few as Christmas gifts. This one is for my friend who is a minister. My iphone is for scale. I lined it with green felt. I paid a dollar at a used book store for it. I screwed a piece of cheap 1/4" play to each side of...

    Fun with PTP

    I'm not sure if this is belongs in general wood working or not but here goes. Haven't had much time in the shop lately so this project for a friend ( big time dog lover ) was a nice way to ease back into making sawdust without the stress of trying to create joinery beyond my limited skill set...

    Oh the Frustrations, but what fun when it works

    Since trying my hand at the Goodwill Lathe one thing that has definitely happened is the frequent utterance of many words in the shop that just can not be repeated on this site.:gar-La; I'll be cruising along thinking all is going well, then wham, a bad catch, followed by the piece being flung...

    Because POLLS are fun!

    Of course, I'm not the one having to program and implement them:gar-Bi The idea of adding a poll to create a North Carolina Woodworker Tool Favorites came to me as I read the opinions on the DeWalt planer. I'd like to suggest that we take a specific tool like a bandsaw, tablesaw, router, etc...

    Should have tried this sooner - its fun

    I bought a used Jet lathe awhile -actually years ago and I finally brushed the dust off and tried to create something in the round. I had done a bunch of pens but little else. I was pleasantly suprised how quickly a 3" chunk of cherry turned into a goblet. In the photo the left goblet was my...

    Fun Contest idea.....

    What do ya'll think about opening up a "Rename FlashChat" contest? The winner gets ________. It'd also call attention to that feature of the site. Maybe foster some sharing and show folks they have a say in the site (touchy feely junk). We could also use it to also introduce the new...

    Joining in the fun

    I'm a college professor at Appalachian State University, and have taken up woodworking in recent years to satisfy my need to see the end result of my labor (something that educators never really get to see). So far it's just a hobby, making things for family and friends. I took a woodworking...

    Fun with Cherry Burl...

    So y'all have read my inquiry about turning rough Cherry burl to maximize the figure. Thanks for all the advice, I actually followed some of it :) I had a piece that had been chained sawed flat(ish) on both sides. So I decided to pull the largest core out of it that I could to miss the voids and...
