  1. Hyperbolic Paraboloid (from toothpicks)

    These have always fascinated me. The hyperbolic paraboloid is a surface curved in two directions, but composed entirely of straight lines. The finished surface is very strong and has sometimes been used for roofs. I made this one of toothpicks and hot glue as a sort of proof of concept, and...
  2. Wooden Hair Clips

    First, I started by re-sawing some cutoffs and turning blocks I had around the shop. This was mulberry, walnut, sycamore, pine and some dogwood. I passed each piece through the planer to give it a good gluing surface. Then arranged the pieces and glued them together. After the glue dried I...

  4. Inside Out Christmas Ornament

    An inside out Christmas ornament I turned for my wife. The wood is pine. I cut four pieces of pine 1-1/4" X 1-1/4" X 8" in length then used hot glue and painters tape to put everything together. The inside snowman ornament is fairly flat, so I didn't have to worry about adding the ornament at...
  5. Making "initial" art from applewood-or what happens when an apple tree falls in my backyard

    Video Here! This was made as a gift for my wife's brother's family with their last initial. Initially I wasn't thinking of doing a backing and got a bunch of dowels to join the pieces of wood together. I abandoned that idea partially due to complexity and partially because I thought having a...

  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Sometimes I will read a post and they will refer to "Hot Melt Glue" and after consideration I decide that they are referring to Hot Hide Glue. Other times I decide that they are referring to the glue sticks that run through a gun to liquefy and then harden on cooling. These guns are usually a...
  9. Joinery
    I've got a M&T/grooved breadboard end (5 tenons all with a haunch or groove between them). It's a bit snug up to the last 1/4" or so then it wont go anymore… Except, it feels like I can get either of the two ends almost closed - meaning that the problem is probably in either the groove or the 3...

    I have a bad Quill in the tailstock, I need to remove it and order a new one. It will come out to the 3" mark and move in to the 1" mark. It takes 2 people to get it to move this much. I think it should keep on coming out to be removed? Have any of you done this? How do you remove the quill...
