  1. Journal Creating (Slightly) Better Thumbnails for the Showcase

    To put it mildly, the thumbnail images this website generates for projects and journal entries are terrible--small, fuzzy, and dull. I don't know exactly what the site does to generate the images, but it appears to scale them down to 150 pixels (on the longest side, I assume), then scale that...
  2. wooden shipping box recycled

    This piece was made of a wooden box recycled. the box brought in a machine from Europe, I decided to remove all nails from it and turned into this piece for my daughters. it took 1 coat of water base fluorescent yellow stain, a couple of Danish oil and beeswax mixture coats, burned with a heat...
  3. Minecraft Exploding TNT Prank Bank

    I made this fun Minecraft TNT Prank Bank with my oldest son (the Minecraft addict/expert in our house). The bank "explodes" when a coin is put in it, and it's a lot of fun to make and use. I just used some scrap 1/4" MDF I had laying around, but it would probably be better with a plywood (I...
  4. Renderings and drawings

    We often work with blueprints. We also work with renderings, which I prefer. Sometimes we're working with a sketch on a napkin. My least favorite form of drawing. Blueprints are often sterile and difficult to understand for many clients. Often they have no clue what their agreeing to. In this...
  5. Wooden Crate

    Take a look at my YouTube Video on how I made this wooden crate. I split the video up into two sections ( 1 and 2). In the video I start with a 4×4 reclaimed pine and turn it into this lovely crate. Video - Part 1 - Video - Part 2 - My channel -...
  6. Site Help and Suggestions
    just an idea - I think it would be a good feature to implement to show images when searching through projects. example: I just searched for coffee tables as I'm trying to come up with a design that will work for me. I wanted to see what's out there, so I searched "coffee tables" in the search...
  7. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    I'd like to share this video, of Fred Cogelow, who I think is one of the greatest woodcarvers in the world. I put this in a blog comment, but I thought having it in a topic would give it better exposure. He lives in the Wilmar, MN area. My sister, & her husband met him in a coffee shop once...

    Found a way I like to cut straight-end, non-through rip and crosscuts in plywood This is probably a common technique, with a name, but it only occurred to me today. I gave it a shot, and it worked out really well. I'm going to use it from now on for non-through cuts, and by that, I mean rips...

    An amazingly unusual picture, by Barb Barb is always taking pictures of Mushrooms, insect, weeds, & flowers. I uploaded some of her pictures to the computer today, & discovered this one. A poodle dogs face in a puff ball. Nature can sure do some wonders. We now both agree that it looks more...
  11. Sweating for Bucks Through Woodworking
    Update from 12-15-2007: Skim Readers: I am learning in my computer-based writings, that folks seem to "skim" read, not fully comprehending what I am saying, as they miss details moving quickly down the screen. I haven't figured out how to stop this, other than to write in shorter sentences...

  13. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    I'd like to share this beautiful deer picture. We were on our way home from the cabin, & she was on the edge of the woods along the highway. Then she nonchalantly walked across to our side of the road. This was taken through the windshield.
