  1. Another Black Walnut Candlestick

    This is the first hollow spiral I have done with my Craftsman Router Crafter. This was made from a piece of black walnut from a 100+ year old sill log from an old house I tore down. The first photo was taken without the flash and captures the true color. The second photo taken with the flash...
  2. More Eastern Red Cedar Items

    I continue to "play" with my Craftsman Router Crafter and try some different things. Pix #1 is a 3-flute, open center candlestick. Pix #2 shows two short candle holders with no special ornamentation. Pix #3 and #4 are of a mug tree. I used shaker pegs for the "limbs" and I think something...
  3. More Candleholders Made on the Craftsman Router Crafter

    I finally got back into the shop and spent some time with the Craftsman Router Crafter making some more candleholders. In the first photo, from left to right, a set made from carob wood, a set made from olive wood, a single piece made from black walnut and lastly, another one made from Eastern...
  4. MORE CRAFTSMAN ROUTER CRAFTER TURNED CANDLESTICKS AND HOLDERS

    I've turned these over the last few months, just not gotten around to posting them. The first pair are 6" tall Eastern Red Cedar. The second and third ones pictured are made from black walnut, 9" and 9-3/4" tall. The first of the two is made to hold a tealight candle. The fourth one is also...
  5. Eastern Red Cedar Candlesticks

    Here in South-Central Kentucky we have lots of the Eastern Red Cedar trees. The dead trees and downed trees often get cut up for firewood. I pulled out some of the pieces to use for my projects. The two candlesticks pictured here were turned on my Craftsman Router Crafter. The larger one is...
  6. Spalted Maple Candle Holders

    These candle holders were turned from a couple of pieces of firewood. The maple tree was a blowdown that my son and I cut into logs a few years ago, intending to saw into lumber. But, we just never got to it and this winter found that the logs weren't quite what we wanted, so much of it was...
  7. Eastern Red Cedar Walking Stick--My First

    I hadn't tried anything quite this long on my Craftsman Router Crafter, even this had to be in two parts. I learned a few things so maybe the next one will be a bit nicer, although I'm not unhappy with this one. The finish is spray shellac with polish wax after going over it with steel wool...
  8. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hello all, the new guy here. I've only been poking around in woodworking for a couple of years and just recently managed to make a few things the wife will display in the house. My question, if you're willing to help is about a maple bench I'm making for my wife as a 20 year wedding...

    I recently purchased a used Craftsman Router Crafter on eBay and would like to explore its capabilities further. I was impressed by the beautiful pieces produced by GDPIFER, and noticed that there are others also interested in using this machine. In my initial endeavor, I did produce a hollow...
  10. Blogs
    Using the Craftsman Router Crafter I recently posted the Black Walnut hollow spiral candlestick as one of my projects that I had made using my Craftsman Router Crafter. Among comments left was whether this was made just using a router and a couple of suggestions that I do a blog on how it...
  11. Woodworking Skill Share
    I got a job recently building a small custom side table for a client in Santa Fe. There were some tricks involved in building it, so I decided to write a short article about it (with lots of pictures) on my Furniture Blog.
