For this year's Beer Swap, I thought I had a great project idea and plenty of time to execute it. I was going to make a "beer". What kind of beer you ask? This kind: I had this brilliant (dripping with sarcasm) idea to carve a "beer" for my recipient. I did pretty well at carving the bear...

I love BEER swap, and this year it was dubbed Beer BBQ swap, 2 of my favorite things, and what a great bunch of guys. If you haven't done a swap, I suggest you give one a try, lots of fun, and friends just sort of happen through them. Thanks guys for making this so fun. This year I drew Nathan...

This years beerbq swap is ending today. I made a mig, a tray to carry things to the grill or patio and a bottle stopper. The mug is my first foray into segmented turning. It is made with goncalo alves, walnut, and rosewood. After gluing the rings together I filled it with liquid diamonds epoxy...

This year started with high hopes for something I had been wanting to try for awhile. I've been thinking of the best way to make a nice set of tongs from laminated layers of contrasting woods and figured this was the perfect chance. Unfortunately my two attempts didn't pan out and by then I was...

For this year's BeerBBQ swap I decided to make a briefcase for holding beer or BBQ fixings or whatever. But since I had already done a BBQ Briefcase back in 2020, I wanted to make this one more beer specific, as well as upping my game a bit. I started with some butternut I had on hand, resawing...

I've made a couple of games for the past couple of Beer swaps (dominoes, checkers) so this year was no different, but I really wanted to go all out so I made a tic-tac-toe game with matching coasters. The grid is white oak with dado notches to hold them in place. The tiles are curly maple with...

This was my wood project for the Beer and BBQ swap that is wrapping up today. I was inspired by the large metal forks used for pulling pork. I considered making the fingers from steel but decided to try making it entirely from wood. I figured that if it is not an effective meat shredder, it...

I made the box out of maple and walnut. The walnut is extremely dark. I snatched it up when the woodworking club was unloading the kiln. The three Floyds design was cut from maple for the wing and skull. The crown was made from quartersawn sycamore and the 3 Floyds cherry was used.

For this year's BeerBQ swap, I decided to go with a bottle cap plinko game and a bottle opener/back scratcher combo. Both the cherry and the walnut are local to VA here. All wood was milled from either firewood or rough lumber from the lumber yard. The walnut dowels for the plinko game were...

I was trying to come up with an idea for this swap when I came across a video by Kent Rollins cowboy/chuckwagon cook talking about his favorite cooking tool, the cowboy hash knife. Wow! So I went on a long search for the proper steel, found a now useless timber saw plate badly rusted, decided to...

For this year's Beer (and BBQ) Swap, I built a kit to make hanging out at the grill a bit more enjoyable. In the top compartment is a BBQ Multi-tool that is essentially a big set of spring-loaded tongs that breaks down into a BBQ fork, a spatula and a large folding knife. I also turned a pair of...

My contribution to this year's Beer Swap (or BeerBQ Swap? I'm so confused…) I pictured in my mind a large 6-pack of beer and went from there. I created a 3D model for the ends of the tote and used cedar to carve them due to their thickness and the weight. I didn't want the user to get a hernia...
