    MC Escher - Man in the Reflecting Sphere

    This is an oldie (for me) that I took to the 07 Carving show; but I failed to post it because I'm a dork. Given that mikel called me out on it, I figured I had to share before I permanently earned the dork title. It's a Basswood block that's 16x20x 8/4 (if memory serves). View image in...

    old man cane

    My son, Collin, made another cane. He has passed me by on the lathe, I guess I need him to make one for me so I can hobble down to the retirement home. :rotflm: He sold this one and has an order for at least one more. I need him to teach me marketing too. :dontknow:

    Tree falls on man, kills him

    http://www.wral.com/news/news_briefs/story/4603893/ I know Duke as do a lot of people from the area. He's a local sawyer and sold my Son his first rifle. Duke was a good honest man, always willing to help however he could - he will be missed. Thanks

    Tom the Freud Man!

    So Tom, what's the destination of your "first run?" Maybe some of us could arrange to make it "memorable" for you!! :rotflm: Just kidding! Sorta!

    Po' Man's Carving Vise

    I ran across the details for this vise the other day and thought I would try it out. Got everything needed at Lowe's for $16.35 including tax. As you can see, it's not for heavy duty stuff but if you have something small, just screw it to the bottom of the small flange and your good to go...

    Nuke the Trojan Man

    Well.. although, I got a giggle out of the post, I removed it. May be somewhat out of line for some of our younger site members. I sent out PMs to the 2 member's post I deleted, as well as the Moderators of the Off topic forum. I think I copied Tracy as well.. but I can't remember if I copied...

    Here's one I started last night and just finished. Decided to just paint the eyes and use Watco Satin Wax on the rest. What da think? As always, comments and suggestions welcome. Thanks for looking Chuck

    as much a test of man and machine as a project...

    I got the "fine" pinned blades that I will use with this saw: to cut sound holes in sound boards for instruments. I figured I should do some test cutting to see how well they worked and to brush a little rust off the operator. My oldest daughter had given me a paint palette to "clean off" and...

    Jimmy C, U da man , man

    Jimmy C has done it for me again ! :notworthy: First it was the BB ply , this time it is a Dewalt scroll saw :mrgreen: Jimmy gave the heads up to another member who decided not to pursue it for now . Long story short, a drive to Dunn today yielded a practically brand new saw with less than...

    A Good Man

    I've been reluctant to post this, because I know he isn't looking for any recognition, but, I feel this bears telling. I have a friend in Indianapolis who has been diagnosed with lymphoma, Stage 4. Family man, good moral human being. He loves to trout fish, and last summer he and his dad...

    Poor man's RT Lead Screw

    Here it is, as promised, my lead-screw for my homebrew T-square RT fence : The main components are a piece of common 1/4-20 rod, a brad-hole T-nut (Servalite brand from the hardware specialty fasteners bins which I found at our California-based Orchard Supply Hardware), a piece of 1/2...

    Just to show off some of the detail on those &$%#^ half-scaled leaves.

    The Green Man Puzzle

    Thought I'd be clever and shrink a 8-1/2 x 11 puzzle pattern down to roughly half size "to make it challenging" - so it's on a 1 x 6 and maybe 8 inch long piece of pine - not really a "past" project as I'm still deliberating how to paint/finish

    The big man has a chair!

    We launched our Holiday Light Show this weekend and Santa had a new Chair. When we pulled out the decorations for our Santa tent last week, his chair had seen better days. I needed to make a replacement fast, I was able to knock this out in just under a week. I wish I had some extra time to add...

    Old man, new turner, maybe new idea

    I took the plunge into turning. I bought a cheep lathe off the back of a Cummings truck. I turned a spindle first just to see how it worked. Then I wanted to jump right into a bowl. So I went to the firewood pile and picked a 3" diameter piece. Then it hit me. It is already round. So I mounted...
