One can easily buy plastic knobs for jigs & fixtures for a dollar or two a piece. Or, for a more classy touch, one can easily make their own, using designs no commercial versions can match. I made a few wing nuts (in under an hour) - just bandsaw / scrollsaw some scraps, drill holes for the...

With Seven grand kids between our two families it takes some thought as to what they would like that we can make in the Wood Buddies Shop. Since they all like to be around water whether a lake or pool we came up with a two part chair that each could carry and was compact enough to fit in the...

I got Dave Polaschek as the recipient of my handiwork. I included a few things that I find useful in my shop. Magnets seem to be the theme. First is three simple gages for thickness checks and marking. Under the mount block is a small magnet that will hang a 6" pocket rule so it can all be...

I made this frame for a picture we had drawn of the kids this summer. The frame is maple with some walnut dowels I made. It is finished with paste wax. The picture was drawn by a lady at Stanley Park in Vancouver, she charged us $35. I thought she did a great job. The picture now hangs in...

My parents built their house in 1962. That summer my Father bought a redwood picnic table. It has been outside till the spring of this year (2011). The metal garden bench was my Mothers that I had got for her quite a few years back. I figured that old picnic table had another 49 years left in...

In my on-going quest to organize my home shop, her's my lastest project. I have several of the Stanley organizers, and was constantly pulling all of them from the shelf they were stacked on to get to the one I needed. Since that got really old, I came up with this. There are individual strips...
