This is the last maple pencil holder that I finished up last week. I built a set of 10 pencil holders over the last few months. I put out a video episode on these pencil holders back in April.

Well, the contest stated that Gorilla glue must be used. I kinda took it to an extreme. Other than the glue itself, the only other ingredient is different kinds of sawdust. Yeah, sawdust. I had three flavors to choose from. a) Very fine walnut dust from the sander. b) Table saw rip curls of...

I made a simple stone holder for my water stone. It was glued together and nailed, but after couple years later It fell apart. I believed the wood is Pine. Which is horrible wood for this. I knew nothing years ago. So I install dowels and glue, clamp together. For finish, I've used oil based...

After a long time of no shop time I finally was able to put together several short sessions to get this one made. I finally feel like a real LJ! During school I always doodled, and esp. in math/physics classes I used to play along with the squares in the notebooks. In particular I used to draw...

This project was dual purpose, 1-make a coffee table for my grandma-in-law, 2-enter in the glue only contest. I also like to reuse wood, so I found a nice pine pallet up the road (about a 5'x12' pallet). There was a lot of work and some new trial and errors I had to go through. Every piece of...

Little things can make a big difference. I didn't have a good system for storing bits for my Dremel tool. This is made from red oak scraps. An hour and a half well spent. I rough cut the blank on the bandsaw, and cleaned it up with a plane. Drill presses are made for jobs like this. I...

I had no idea what I wanted to do for this challenge when I first heard about it. I just knew that I wanted to start participating more in the community so I'd feel more connected and less like a young person cut off from all the usual wild young person activities. I'm pretty new in general to...

"Amazing Grace" Cross done on the scroll saw. My future mother-in-law is a devout catholic. Lately I've been showering her with gifts like this…..only because I've gotten the scroll saw bug (not for brownie points)......well maybe. :) I started out with a piece of maple and a piece of walnut...

I recently bought my 5 year old her first set of (Real) tools so she needed a tool tote to carry them in. I started with a 4 foot by 8 inch board and ended up with a tool tote that is 16 X 8 X 8 inch. It is assembled with only Gorilla Glue and clamps. I also added a wooden 1/4 inch dowel into...

I needed a very flat, hard surface to perform my current version of "scary sharp" for my chisels and my few (for now) plane blades. I am currently using 3m Trizact 5" film as my sharpening media. Since I have a small garage shop / man cave, I needed something just the right size to hold up to...

My daughter's school has a bench near the front office where they attach small engravings to the top rail as teachers and staff retire. They include the person's name and the dates they worked at the school. The top rail of that bench is now full, and with 6 more retirees this year they asked me...
