This is my local country church. A church in town had decided to donate their old bell to us and we went to work installing it. At first, we thought it would be a no brainer, but lugging that 200 lb bell up there was quite the challenge. After that was time to enclose it and after some...

Turned a Bell out of Holly (ringer) and Brazilian Cherry (handle). Added a small decorative band using the Sorby spiralling tool (390A). As wood does not resonate well for a bell I stole…er…borrowed one of those little jingle bells from one of the cat's toy for the clapper. Finish is friction...

This is my Scale Bell 407 model. I started it in January and finally finished it today. The length of the body (not counting the rotor blades) is 44", with the blades it is 52". The body is made out of cherry, if you're interested on how I managed to make it, check out my blog entrees here...

When we moved into our new home, it was time to choose a place for the paper towels and dinner bell. I built this vertical paper towel holder that is mounted on the end of a cabinet for easy access. The ceiling was too high to just hang the triangle bell as we had done in our last house, so I...

I used birch plywood and Keith Fenton's pattern to scroll these bells. I painted them using a gold metallic paint from DecoArt and added rhinestones from Rhinestone Canada. Thanks for looking

This is a murphy bed that was completed in December 2010. It was Euro style that was built in maple with some Cherry Accents. The finish was just a few coats of Pre-Catalyzed clear lacquer. I added 24" bookcases to this one and started doing something a little different. The bookcase and...

Hi all, this project takes a bit of explaining to occur… first, I was perusing LJ last night and noticed someone had posted a box that he had built for his grandmother. Well, I thought to myself, I have never made anything for my grandmother and I should make something to show my appreciation...

This is my most recent project, just finished this past week, I've been working on it since January, mostly on weekends and the odd evening after work. This was made as a birthday gift for my older brother. Everything is made out of spruce 2×3's for home depot. For this project all tools were...

This is an Old engine bell that we were able to recover as a gift. I did not have the mounting hardware for the bell, so I had to improvise. I laminated some 2" construction stock for center of the base. on top of that I mounted a 1/2" piece of plywood. I used a drill press to drill through...

my first wood shop was built on a treated lumber base (sitting on blocks). i guess in theory its movable. i have outgrown it and now use my garage (still unheated) to house my tools and equipment. since i started out with hand tools and a circular saw, this space initially fit my needs...

Marines (Yes, I am one) have many traditions from their Navy Brothers in arms. One is the use of a ships bell at some of the military functions. For those of us that went through TBS, the Marine's Officer School (Hotel Co., '75 for me), this bell was often used for Mess Nights celebrating many...

Dave,the park electrician, asked me if I could make a dinner bell for his sister. She collects them. I chose a pecan log and made the bell and handle all out of the same piece. I centered it a little off center with the pith of the log and the dark color of the pith came out in the handle in the...

These are the Christmas ornaments I made for family this year. They are bells from Kathy Wise's book "Intarsia Woodworking Projects" (ISBN: 978-1-56523-339-3). The bells are made with yellowheart, walnut, and bloodwood. One ornament is made with redheart instead of bloodwood. Jim

This end table is made out of one piece of oak. This board was from the flare of the tree next to the ground. Got several bell shaped pieces from Dorchester Hardwoods in Dorchester, Wisconsin. They were going to be chipped but my buddy called me up and told me to pick them up.

The story may be better than the project on this one.. I'm known amongst the jocks and throughout my family for searching the sands of various beaches for rescue lumber. This last summer was no different as my family foursome visited Corpus Christi, Texas and the beaches of Port Aransas...

When the Bell rings, it's time for a round of cheer

I made this Victorian Christmas Bell today for one of the upcoming craft shows or to be placed in one of the craft stores where I sell product. It measures 3 and 1/4 inches tall and 3 inches wide. There are two halfs which are the same except the slot and the top hanger. Made from 1/8 inch thick...

A couple of years ago we lost a great neighbor and my wife's best friend, Julie, too early (53) to Multiple Myeloma. Julie and my wife spent many hours together raising our kids and enjoying the outdoors. Julie was about 15 years older than my wife so she was also a teacher, mentor, and...

After almost 10 months and 500 hours of work, this 1/8 scale Bell 429 model is finally complete! Last May I began drafting the plans for this model using both measurements from the real helicopter and many pictures from the internet. At first I designed it to be to scale with my previous...
