    I want to buy a 2 3/4" forstner bit. Preferably one which doesn't need sharpening.
  2. Face Farame Clamps

    My wife has asked me why I get all those woodworking and tool catalogs when we don't have any money to buy the stuff in them. I smile knowingly and tell her that I get ideas for things that I can make to make things easier for me to make! This always makes her give me the look! You all know that...
  3. Fundraiser Item: Serving/Drink Tray

    I made this serving tray/drink tray for a fundraiser that we are having tonight for my wife, Lisa. She will be walking in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk for the Cure, in San Diego, in the middle of November. It is a 3-day walk that spans 60-miles (20-miles/day). She has participated in the Susan...
  4. Walnut and Maple Tealight Candleholder

    This 5-tealight candleholder was made from hard maple and walnut. The strips of wood were crosscut and ripped on the tablesaw before glue-up with Titebond III and 5-clamps. The maple was 5/4 and the walnut was only 4/4, so I ended up cutting a strip of the walnut to set it on edge so as to be...
  5. Ring Box

    I made several of these for a couple of upcoming craft shows. Made from some old oak true 2×4's. Finish is three coats of homemade wipe-on poly. Used Minwax polyurethane thinned with mineral spirits.
  6. Magazine boxes

    This design came from a Home Handyman online magazine. I modified the design to put a finger hole on front and back. I left them unfinished, but will probably use stain and wipe-on poly for the next set. I laid out the side curves with a compass, but a straightedge could be used to lay out a...
  7. Cedar/Walnut Stool

    Neighbor called me and asked if I had ever made one of these and I said no and she said she was reading GRIT magazine--didn't even know it still existed--and she copied and gave me the plans. Very simple and for the first one it turned out great. Cedar top measures 15" x 5" and the walnut legs...
  8. A Beer Balancing Act

    I made this for a friend, who is a Bud Light fan. I actually had him give me bottle caps, partly because I don't drink Bud Light, but also because he'd have a tiny connection to the project. This could obviously be made to suit anybody's favorite beer, although the screw off caps work well, as...
  9. Master-at-Arms Coin Display

    A gentleman approached me at a craft show and asked if I could do a custom coin display for a friend. He brought me the coins and I inset them into a piece of walnut flooring I got from an elderly woodworker who was closing his shop. I've never done a custom coin shape other than round so I did...
  10. Salt cellar

    Disney themed salt cellar made from cherry, accented with epoxy, sanded and finished with satin lacquer. I used forstner bits; the bottoms would have been nicer if I used a special router bit but I don't own one. Perfection Paralyzes. To center the Mickey heads I drilled a pilot hole through...
  11. Juniper Epoxy Experiment

    A huge "THANK YOU" to Rocky Blue for this one. He rode his Harley to my shop and showed me how to apply epoxy by coating the slab of juniper in the photos (I've always been a little intimidated to even try my hand at this process - now I'm much more confident). We decided to add a little...
  12. Simple clock

    Had a small slab of juniper - didn't know what to do with it. Decided to try my hand at clock-making (the earlier mantle clock I posted was originally made by my Dad with refinishing by me). Anyway, this is the result. Epoxy/resin finish, clock stands about 10" high. Thanks for looking. TZH
  13. Autographed Golf Ball

    I finally took a crack at the golf ball in a cage adventure. You would typically use a soft wood. But since I want to give it to a friend I chose some Mahogany that I had on hand. A hard wood makes the project a little more risky. It was nervous time inserting the golf ball into its new home...
  14. Live Edge Walnut Mantel Clock

    This piece of curly English walnut came from Talarico Hardwoods in Pennsylvania. I stopped by there over the summer and bought some odds and ends, the coolest of which, in my opinion, was this. It's a little over 2" thick, 25" long and between 5" and 7" tall. I knew what I was going to do with...
  15. More Lazy Susans

    These are the other Lazy Susans I recently made. The same mixture of Purple Heart, Hard Maple, Paela, Padauk, Ash and Black Walnut. Thanks again to dustbunny and everyone else for the inspiration.
  16. Serving tray and bottle rack

    The serving tray was a lot of 1st for me. The 1st inlay and reinforcing the miter joint in this style. The inlay was a huge learning experience for me. It takes time and I rushed the 1st atempt. I glued it up and left it for a few hours and started sanding it flush I assume the glue loosened up...
  17. Fishing Rod Holder

    Made from some scrap oak. I used a 2" forstner bit for the handle ends and a 1" forstner for the rod tip ends. The throats were cut using a bandsaw. The handle side has one opening with a throat also cut for one of my fly fishing rods. My router is pretty big, so I used my Dremel with 1/8th...
  18. Walnut and Hard Maple Tealight Candle Holder

    I made this tealight candle holder a few weeks ago out of walnut and hard maple, but it sat unfinished down in the basement. A couple of days ago, my wife was getting ready to send a 10th wedding anniversary card to some friends of ours out in Michigan. I said if she could wait an extra day, I...
  19. Hand-turned Exotic Wood Toothpick Holder

    Exotic cutoffs make the perfect treen for around the house. This toothpick holder was made from a piece for 2″ by 2″ cutoff. The blank was mounted in a 4 jaw chuck and then hollowed out with a forstner bit. Afterwards the piece was shaped into a barrel look to hold toothpicks at the dinner...
  20. carved indian head!

    I made this for a friend in Tenneessee! I carved it and then done the painting, I hope y'all like it thanks for looking!
