Boy and Girls, No, it's not a coop for me when the missus throws a wobbly though it may offer up a coup for the puzzle adversaries. I was inspired DevinT's plane article to post another plain puzzle to keep pace with pottzy bowl turning statistics. While I have already published a box puzzle...

Boys and Girls, Yet another victim of this C19 albatross (sorry to all the albatrosses reading this). Because of the lockup, I have been spending an inordinate amount of time sitting on my rrrs without moving and playing a video game to the point that my ankles were swelling and I was...

Boys and Girls, For once I cannot blame this project onto C19, however, I can blame it on a 106 times removed, distant cousin C125. While assembling my previous project, I came across some loose pieces left over from a 1 more previous project … I assembled it and suddenly realised I had too...

Boys and Girls, It's unimaginable how much negative vibes I got from trying to give away my mini Wooden Knot Puzzles by all those Karen citizens… It seems people prefer their pockets lined, rather than their brains stimulated by freebies. Being disenchanted, I have slowed down my public...

Boys and Girls, This is the 3rd. and final puzzle instalment… (at least for this stint… however, there's always another corel125 around the corner)... holding your breath for the next wave might not be as long a wait as the predicted, inevitable, forthcoming, 2nd. C19 bomb-shell. If you've...

Boys and Girls, I take a sadistic pleasure in dishing up my puzzles to those squatters that inhabit my planet without an explicit invitation, however, with over 220 days of C19 lockdown and 72 years of gracing this Earth, I finally managed to get diagnosed with ADHD (mind you, by a questionable...

Boys and Girls, When the missus met me she thought if I kiss that frog he'll hopefully turn into a prince. Well she didn't kiss me and at 72, I'm still that rickety old amphibian croaker. Searched the Internet for the family tree, bypassing some French relatives that were legless even without...

Boy and Girls, After getting a canning from yazall dog lovers after I posted my dim sim recipe I felt that those turd generators needed their presence be felt, other than by depositing mine fields on the footpath, to the chagrin of most petless pedestarians. ..... also did it as a...

Boys and Girls Nothing like resurrecting old projects… It's like going back to Dr. Plastic for that touch-up on the previous face lift. Who said "the duck just buys the tools and jigs that he can afford but don't use?"… Well it wasn't me, as I always finish saying, "don't need!"…...

Boys and Girls, While trying to take my projects a tad more seriously, I tried to post the last project without my typical BS… I tried but failed… at least failed to continue in that tempo. After splinter's quote… I just couldn't keep a straight face any more, and decided to take up the...

Boys and Girls, just a quick dirty little project to ensure dust doesn't settle in the workshop… no long narratives (planned) nor videos taken (also not planned). C19 has coerced me into the purchase of another tool/jig that came "loosely" shoved into a tubular package. (Click on the link and...

Made this stage sign for our local TEDx event. Most of the work was done using a laser cutter, where I sized the image up (using Adobe Illustrator) for the maximum size of the cutter. Each letter has a "tab" on the bottom of it that fits inside of a kerf cut in the lower rail. Floating X...

Boys and Girls, ZCI is an acronym for Zero Clearance Insert, however, consider yourself pardoned when I say "ZCI Insert" and you accuse me of stuttering. While toying with some comments on ZCI, Marpel enticed me with this titillating comment, "… rather than replace the full zci, the hardboard...

Boys and Girls, I tried to warn you in the title, so all you masochists read on. Looks like this bloody C19 has taken another scalp… and this time literally. After 6 months of hibernating with the compliments of self-isolation, it was costing me a small fortune in hair shampoo per wash and...

I went looking for a wooden back panel for my iPhone and was shocked to see the two companies selling them were charging $90-130. So, I decided I could easily make the same (maybe even better) for much less. Here are a couple of prototypes I've made so far. They are both walnut, and the second...

Hi Lumberjocks and Jockettes, As with my previous "Wheel kerfing jig" I was in two minds whether to publish this article as it is primarily centered around laser cutting (or one of those radical CNC machines). The missus advised me against it so while her back was turned, I took a couple of...
