Arrowhead Boxes. I met a guy on one of our trips, and after a bit of chatting, he told me that he collected old arrow heads. After learning that I was into woodworking, he asked about getting a box to store his collection. The box in the first photo was the original, and then he wanted two...

I think I might be getting hooked on making my own tools. I cut a lot of rabbets and dados on the table saw, but the the dado stack usually leaves ridges. Then I have to use a chisel to clean out the channel. The easier way is to use a router plane. I had been wanting to get one for sometime...

This is a roll-around tool cabinet that is mostly done. It has been a work in progress for the last 6 years (get a little done here and there between paying projects). The only thing left to do is put on the upper doors and some door pulls. The dark wood is bubinga. The light wood is curly...

Well gang, thanks again to everyone for looking in on my blog series of the making of this handsaw handle. The final is here and I sure learned a lot. It fits well in the sawing hand and works better than expected. For anyone that has the interest and was unable to see the start to finish of...

This is my entry for the Nothing New But The Glue Challenge. I gathered up some scrap last night, did some random gluing and spent a pleasant couple of hours in the shop today making whistles. Four were turned on the lathe, and the other two were made on the router table. One is a two-note...

Wanted to play with overarm or pin router and since it was autumn why not a walnut leaf.

This is a quick and simple project. These are four large pot stands made from 2×6's. They were notched top and bottom so that they overlap in and "X" pattern. Each one is 26" by 26" and roughly 5" tall. I rounded and drilled holes in each end. The bottoms were cut in about an inch. They...

This is my bandsaw/drill press table. I like to use this smaller bandsaw for doing smaller projects because I like to leave my bigger bandsaw with a resaw blade installed at all times. I put a vice on the work table and I made it so I can pull the bandsaw in and out of the table by using 2...

This shadow box was a going away gift for our Major in my section. I wanted to do something different so we got the glass etched instead of putting a metal plate inside. It is made out of Cherry and has brass pins in the top securing the sides. I finished this in tung oil with a couple coats...
