No more Christmas Eve shop sessions trying to get the last minute presents done for visiting friends and relatives. Now I can relax and get some of those good cookies.
Thank you to Scott Smith for the idea. http://lumberjocks.com/SASmith/blog/20704
Once you get your set-ups dialed in, you can batch these out pretty easily.
And the variety you can achieve is almost endless.
I added a few process shots below.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.

Thanks for the kind words “G”.
I have a bunch more blanks glued up, but I think this batch should suffice…lol
Working on & off as time allowed, a couple weeks from start to finish.

Nice job at mass production. Good to have the gift list well in hand.
Hope you folks don’t get hit by the cold weather moving into the South, we are getting warm weather. The lower 48 and Alaska usually have the opposite weather due to quirks of the jet stream….....

You have been very productive. They look great.
Nice work on the alignment in pic 3. It is more difficult than most think.

There’s something about doing production work that is fun. Doing a set-up takes the same amount of time whether you do it for one or 100. I’ve been doing this with pens of late. People really appreciate the fact that it’s homemade.

Thanks for the process pictures, A picture is worth a thousand words, took me awhile to figure what the drill press was for, a very necessary step though. Will have to show this to the local wood shop teacher, his first year, Ideas like this are priceless.You are a great teacher too.
