For the Fourth Annual LJs Beer Swap I got EarlS as my recipient. Earl mentioned at some point that he and his wife and daughters were all fans of the Lord of the Rings movies. I just happened to be working at learning to carve and looking for an idea of what to make for this swap at the same...

I had a lot of fun stressing over this. Each time I was hit with a unforced error I had to make the tote progressively smaller. I had to draw the line when any smaller it would not fit beer any longer.

For the 2020 Beer Swap a collection of various local and regional Michigan brews including a tart cherry libation. I packaged it in a Japanese tool box sized to hold 8 16oz cans or a fat roll of Japanese chisels and a brass mallet. As with a Japanese Tool Box the wood is simple Western Red...

I had the pleasure of drawing Dave Kelley for the 2020 Beer Swap and just thinking about the heat in Arizona makes me thirsty… Perfect solution for thirst? Beer! Lots and lots of cold beer! I envisioned a dried up well with the sun-bleached skull laying in the sand… OK, I'll admit it! I was...

For this year's beer swap my recipient was my good friend mikeacg. We recently worked on a project as a joint effort where I used some 12ga 304 Stainless so I thought it fitting for a special bottle opener! I cut out a rectangle, milled the elongated hole, experimented through trial & error to...

For the 2020 LJ Beer Swab, I was given Keeble1's name. I looked around for some inspiration without success until my wife asked if I was planning on saving some scrap 2×4's I was pulling out from a small remodel. She said they just looked nicer than usual and assumed that was why I was pulling...

Here's my submission for a the Beer Swap 2020. One of the local breweries, Wild Heaven, sells a pils-style session ale called Emergency Drinking Beer. Because it's 2020, I thought this was a fitting beer to send to Kenny (HokieKen), the unfortunate soul to draw my name in the beer swap. I...

For my beer swap project, I was inspired by my biggest issue when drinking beer in the shop: I take two sips, get focused on the task at hand, then return to a warm beer. I could have just sent my recipient controlfreak a normal beer koozie, but that wasn't nearly elaborate or unnecessarily...
