It's always a challenge to make something interesting and unique for the beer swaps. This year was no exception. After considering and rejecting a whole host of ideas I settled on a multi-purpose board with multi-functional accessories. It is a cutting board, that doubles as charcuterie...

My effort for the 2021 Beer Swap (5th Annual!) and I was given the name of Keebler (aka Kevin)! Hmmmm… what to do? My inspiration came to me while grocery shopping. I bought a whole bunch of Keebler cookie packs but this one (picture 2) seemed to call out to me. What could be more fun than a 4...

I like to do a theme based on the beer. So this year I chose Voodoo Ranger. The box has a walnut top and cherry base. I used a scrollsaw to cut the figures. The skull is hard maple, blood is the obvious bloodwood and the hatchet blade is quartersawn sycamore the handle is hickory. The painters...

For the 2021 Beer Swap I put together a pair of can koozies. I started by asking the group which wood to start with and then I went and did what I wanted anyway. I selected some spalted dogwood with walnut and padauk for accents. I cut up the dogwood stock into a trapezoid with 30 degree...

I've been wanting to try making a pint glass sleeve and also wanted to do another basket illusion turning for a while and the beer swap was the perfect opportunity to do both. I decided to use an oversized pint glass because I thought a standard one might result in too small of a grip for most...

This is my entry for the 2021 Beer Swap. I couldn't decide whether to make a mug or bottle opener this year. But when I got Duckmilk's name, I decided on a bottle opener since I knew he had gotten a wooden stein in a previous swap. But what kind of bottle opener do you give a Texan? One that...

This is my entry for the 2021 Beer Swap. If you haven't joined a LJ Swap you owe it yourself to "just do it" I pulled HokieKen as a swap partner and he is a tough bird to make for and select beer. The center piece (after the beer) is a carrier. I'm sure he has two of three of these so I left...

I was trying to come up with a project for the beer swap and having no luck when I spied a a folding stool I had made years ago (picture 6). I thought why not make a drink holder for it like many folding picknic chairs have. The original was made of red oak and was plenty sturdy, so that is what...

My recipient for the 2021 Beer Swap was JD77. I like to spend most of my time at the lathe but decided on a simple flat work project in making a Beer Tote. The ends are red oak as are the dividers for the beer and the sides are burnt red oak. The handle is walnut. The dowels are a mix of red oak...

I just got a 3d printer and wanted to use it for the beer swap. I designed a beer mug and printed it out of walnut colored filament. Then I found a 4" pvc pipe and was barely able to fit the mug into it. The mug is a 4" diameter by 6.25" tall. I thought it was a tight enough fit that I wouldnt...

Sorry to the swap folks. I got busy, and then forgot I was supposed to post this thing. I jumped into a swap finally. I've thought about it before, but my shop is a mess, now it's under heavy reconstruction, reorganization, and rebuild, not the physical structure, just looking to get everything...
