So as I sat there drinking my Red Breast trying to figure out what the hell to make for the swap this year… I looked up and saw the hops wall art I received in last years swap from Tom Regnier. It then dawned on my that I should figure out how to cast hops for a bottle opener handle. I had...

This was my woodworking item for the 2019 Beer Swap. I made them for LJ Steve . I decided to use my Ringmaster to make a can koozie and made a simple prototype using Douglas Fir that I re-sawed from a 4×4 with a bradford pear rim (4th and 5th picture, right koozie). The quarter sawn vertical...

A simple stubby bottle opener in Pink Ivory finished with Hutt PPP High Gloss hard wax. It's short and meaty so easy to use. A fun little project for the 2019 LJ Beer Swap

Ok for the 2019 LJ Beer Swap I pulled together a Wood 'n Leather Beer Chest. Black Mesquite and Angelim ends and Tooled veg tanned leather front and back/top. The button is turned from Applewood provided by a fellow LJ'er. The handle is Aluminum and American Elm. Finished with 3 coats of poly...

I wanted to do a beer tote that would be kind of undercover, so you could carry it around without drawing attention. People would see a fellow carrying his wife's make-up case like a good husband while said husband was smiling to himself with the secret only he knew. I searched Ebay until I...

I really wanted to participate in this year's Beer Swap since I sat out last year. Unfortunately, I've been without a shop for 6 months while we are in an apartment waiting for a new house to be built. That meant I needed to finish my swap project in February, before I packed up the shop. I...

Decided to participate in my first LJ swap and it turned out to be a lot of fun. Of course I decided to not make it easy on myself and picked something that definitely stretched my abilities. With the exception of the bottom of the tankard, all wood came from rough timber. Materials used for...

Hi all, I was travelling during the reveals of the swap so this project is a little late. My recipient was RichBolduc. I was scratching my head trying to come up with something interesting to make. My wife and I went into a local quaint little bar that had some of these games and people were...

This was my project for this years beer swap. I made it out of oak. Originally tried making a star at the top with my jigsaw but I had to put so much pressure on the wood to keep the jigsaw from bouncing that the star broke so I cut it off. I got to thinking about the project while driving one...

I sent my beer swap package to Bill up in MI and I put together a good selection of local beers that he can't get in MI. We've got everything from a sour to a stout here from Tampa to Atlanta! I put together a cool little graphic to mark the occasion then used my laser engraver to burn it into...
