  1. And yet another diy gripper pushblock

    I have been a lurker for several years now, and decided that it was time to come out of the woodworking closet and share a few of my own projects. Like many, I have admired the concept of the Gripper Pushblock, but have been turned off by the cost. There are several designs in this forum that...
  2. Rustic cabin gift box

    A rustic cabin gift box I made for a friend. She wanted something to like this to put a bottle of whiskey and a couple of shot glasses in for a gift. The roof lifts off and there is a box inside that lifts out that will hold those items. I made all of it from pine. A basic box. The log look...
  3. Another DIY GRR-Ripper

    I saw a GRR-Ripper demo at Leevalley and liked it a lot until I found out I could not afford something that was so simple to make. I went home and came up with this little unit. I still need to put on some router pad on the feet. Everything was out of scraps, 1/4" baltic birch for everything...
  4. Just like everyone else...only different

    Here is just another face grain cutting. This one is bubinga, maple, walnut, and cherry. It's finished with a couple coats of walnut oil followed by a couple coats of my proprietary walnut oil/ beeswax blend…and by proprietary I mean just like everyone else's :)

  6. Candle Holder

    I CAN'T STOP MAKING SCROLL SAW PROJECTS! Heres yet again, something i made on my scroll saw. It is a candle holder with a maple leaf background and has a semicircle shelf for the candle. This is another project from "Scroll Saw for the first time".
  7. Indian Carving

    Here is my newest Native American carving :) This guy is carved from a piece of Cottonwood bark. As you might presume, bark is very light and airy to carve. It is nice on the hands and elbow because there is very little resistance. But, one slight slip of the hand and the piece becomes firewood-...

    If you are like me you probably use the GRR-ripper more than ever now. It takes all the risk out of many procedures. I just noticed on the website that they show a simple modification for ripping small strips less than 1/4". Here's the step by step modifcation. It very simple and extremely...
  10. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    The center section of my GRR-Ripper recently stopped sliding smoothly in-between the left and right sides. I took the entire thing apart & cleaned everything. It didn't help. If it were made out of wood you could suggest that it expanded & warped itself out of true. That shouldn't and...

    Hey LJs, I am a beginning woodworker in my 20s who has a pretty strict tool budget. I bought a Gripper 200 (http://goo.gl/CHQxqM) and the 1/8" optional sidepiece (http://goo.gl/AhftfG) a couple months ago when I got my first table saw because I really thought it would be helpful/more safe. To...

    I have a Skilsaw 3410-02 with a heavily textured cast-aluminum top. Does anyone have experience with using a Gripper push block on this kind of surface? I am thinking it will not glide well, possibly be binding. I don't want to invest in such an expensive system if it won't work on this kind of...

    I saw the following post here and have a question… http://lumberjocks.com/projects/86346 The poster - Stelios L.A Stavrinides said he used 3mm "Ordex" non slip mat for the "Anti-skid grip" Does anyone know where to get this or is there a BORG, Hobby Lobby or ??? alternative? TIA, Hank
