  1. Live Edge Charcuterie Board

    This is the second live edge charcuterie board that I made. I used my Shaper Origin to engrave the "A" and my router table to create the undercut finger grip areas on the left and right sides. Of course I added my "Handcrafted…" brand on the bottom. After sanding to 400, I applied four coats...
  2. Shop tip - Signing your work (Branded name tags)

    I came across this tip in a magazine, and finally took time to use it. Once branded, the name tags can be cut to size/any desired shape (scrollsaw work), holes drilled, and tags nailed onto the finished projects. They add a touch of class to your pieces.

  5. Backyard Playset

    I'm new here, and I thought I'd show off a couple of projects, so I don't look like a total noob with all the stupid questions that I will probably ask about an upcoming built-ins project. :) I built this playset for my kids in 2006 from scratch. This is probably one of the most satisfying...
  6. Lidded Box

    I got bored last weekend so I decided to break out the Jet lathe and turn a lidded box. I had some scraps hanging around so I laminated some purple heart to maple to goncalo alves. Not the best but every now and then you just need to start and finish a quick project to kickstart you into...

    Got this branding iron at garage sale, it was a county tire branding iron. Took the EMS letters off and cut some new letters off of a brass hinge leaf . Silver soldered the letters on small brass plate and Install on iron . Works pretty well. Found another garage sale branding iron this...
  8. Wood & Lumber
    Hey I have a question. I am making some bottle openers out of Roman olive wood, and I took a fire brand and branded them with some print. The branding worked but the heat changed the color of the wood around the brand (made it darker). I can't really sand the darkness away without risking...

    A last minute gift - dovetail box I realised my last couple of posts were actually woodwork projects rather than workshop projects so I've started a new series. Anyway onto the actual post. In the run up to Christmas 2015 I realised I didn't have much for my dad (a print out of a voucher...

    I'd had the notion to fashion my own branding iron for my projects. Anyone else attempted/accomplished this? If so, did you go with a design or legible text? I've seen the hobby-irons with brass letters, but just curious if anyone else has thought of an alternative to the $80 custom-made irons...
  13. Finishing
    I'm looking into getting a custom branding iron to put my logo on my work. Electric ones are more than double the price of the ones you heat up with a torch, but are obviously more convenient as you just plug them in. What's the quality difference between these two? Are the non electric ones...

    Hello Fellow woodworkers! There are so many options out there for wood branding. From what Ive seen online I can spend anywhere from 15 to 300+ dollars on a branding iron and accessories. I'm looking for a cheap branding iron with interchangeable characters for under 50 dollars. Anybody...
  15. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    This is my first post and I am glad to be a new member to the site. Last year I went to a auction of the estate of an older deceased cabinet maker. I acquired this man's table saw, which reads 1991 on the manufactures plate and is in great shape. The manual, that was with the saw is for the...
