  1. Stabilized Wood Bookmarks

    My 11 year old daughter and I teamed up and made these bookmarks for her teachers at the end of the last school year. They're made from some scraps of stabilized wood we had left over in the shop. We cut them at 1/16", sanded them to 320 grit and then wiped them with a bit of tung oil. They...
  2. Salt and pepper shakers

    I decided a while back to try my hand at a craft show next Christmas. I thought that I could do small production runs of various small items that can be bought inexpensively. These salt and pepper shakers (7 sets), bottle balancers (12), and bookmarks (over 40 so far) are the first projects that...
  3. Support Your Wood Addiction

    Here are instructions to create a unique contemporary bookmark project. It is easy to make, perfect for scraps and easy to sell for a nice profit. Hope you like it. (The photo doesn't do it justice. I have to take a better one) I am just getting my site going and will be adding new projects...
  4. The last of the archived... really!

    Ok, this is the last of the archived pieces. I've got some new 'stuph' coming out of the shop hopefully tomorrow. The first bowl is wenge with a factory inlay, the second is is myrtle. A wing box out of boxwood (center opens to small compartment) (lucky numbeer 13 and daughter's name starts with...
  5. Wooden Exotic Hardwood Bookmarks

    Here are some more bookmarks I've made using scrap pieces of exotic hardwoods. They are made from (in order left to right) Zebrawood, Bubinga, Purpleheart, and Curly Maple. The finish is nothing more than mineral oil and wax. Instead of ribbon (which seemed a little too froo froo for my...
  6. Bookmarks

    Thought I would post these as well….......... this was just a fun project that I wanted to see how they would turn out. I'm actually quite happy with them. Dimensions: 6.25×1.5×1/16 Yeh, you guessed it…........... Watco Danish oil and Black Bison wax. Thought about drilling a hole and putting...
  7. Blogs
    I'm doing it again As the year comes to a close I realized a lot of stuff has changed in my shop and the work I have been doing in the past 3 years since I posted my ""52 Weeks Blog"":http://lumberjocks.com/clieb91/blog/series/3490 in 2011. I also realized how much I enjoyed doing that blog and...
  8. Blogs
    Slice and Dice A while back someone asked a forum question about what everyone does with their scrap wood and cutoffs. The overwhelming response was for inlay pieces, or firewood. I also do the same thing, but last fall I gathered up some scrap and made up bookmarks for gifts at Christmas...
  9. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    So I frequently cruise the local Craigslist looking for a table saw that has a Riving knife and cast iron. I am currently using the Bosch contractor saw which is a nice saw for what it is. When I got it i had the intention of breaking down the shop after I was done for the day so that a car...
  10. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    I accidentally delegated my bookmarks on a different computer and recently synced the two together. Now about 5 yrs of woodworking book marks are gone on my I pad. I can't seem to find a way to retrieve them . Wonder if you all might have a fix? The dumb ass.
  11. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Watching the excellent, well known video, "Band Saw Clinic with Alex Snodgrass" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGbZqWac0jU), several things stand out for me: 1. His rejection of the importance of getting the wheels co-planar. 2. His straightforward, almost casual approach to setting blade...
