  1. Wooden Toy Truck - Play Pal - Monster Truck

    The second Play Pal Monster Truck I have posted here. I made this one from pine. I'm experimenting with materials and these are only 3.5 inches long. I just about always have shot pieces of 2×4 laying around. I think the mystery lumber they sell these isn't really a good choice most of the time...
  2. Wooden Toy Car, Hot Rod Freaky Ford, 27 T Coupe, MDF, Lavender

    I painted this toy car with a coat of rattle can automotive primer, Behr Oops house paint from Home Depot and a top coat of Rust-Oleum Triple Thick Glaze. I found the Rust-Oleum, Triple Thick Glaze difficult to apply and had to sand and respray it way to many times. However, if you want a glossy...
  3. Cardinals scroll saw sign

    This is a sign I made for my father last year. He is a great man and this thing doesn't do him justice, but he really likes it so that is all that matters. Thanks for looking. (I guess I need to learn how to size photos to post here because the top of the birds' head was not cut off in...
  4. Seeing Double

    I finished up a batch of double clothespins this week with a design I finally feel is satisfactory. It took over one year off and on prototyping the design. These are made of ash and full coiled stainless steel springs. They are tumbled to soften the edges and then finished with boiled...
  5. Cypress Timber Table

    A Cypress timber with an authentic hand hewn tip that measures 9"x13-1/2"x 46" is used to make this table. This timber was reclaimed off a bridge, circa 1880, located just north of New Orleans. We wanted to preserve the original integrity and character of the wood by leaving it natural with an...
  6. Custom Tall Cane #144: Macawood, Black Walnut & Cherry [A Gobsmacker of a Cane]

    This is an extra tall, extra LARGE cane made for a client who is 6'4" tall. He originally purchased a cane of a similar shape but it was cut much too short for his stately stature, so I needed to convince him that I could make him a cane suitable for his needs. His original response to my...
  7. Marksman Shadowbox

    This shadowbox was done for a friend of mine. It is the best barter deal I have ever made with someone. The deal was that I build a shadowbox that would display medals won by his Grandfather in numerous NRA shooting matches prior to WWII. It also needed to display a copy of an old picture and...
  8. Chevron Platform Bed

    This is our Chevron Platform Bed. It is made from Antique Heart Pine reclaimed from the warehouses of the Mt. Vernon Mill, circa 1896, that was located in Tallassee, AL. This bed does not require box springs, only a mattress. This is a queen size bed.
  9. Twin Table

    This piece has incredible strength & a powerful, bold look. It is made from reclaimed heart pine. Applied is a finish composed of a series of oil and varnish mixtures that give this piece a deep, glass-like surface. Mortise and Tenon joinery - no screws or bolts used.
  10. Hickory & Steel Ball - American Made

    I was lbrowsing the projects about an hour ago when I came across this really nice mallet by Joey. So I went out to the farm and ranch supply looking for a brass bushing but found nothing. Instead I found this hitch ball made in America, put it on a hickory handle also made in America : ) and...
  11. Woodworking Skill Share
    I am attempting to stain a pine crib white. (pine to preserve the bites and bangs of a special infant) So I need a safe white stain and protective coating product. I tried white wash pickling from minwax on a test piece and it's simply not white enough, even after 4 coats. I'll tell the...
  12. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    I'm purchasing items for my shop and I am frustrated that our market has dictated that items should be made cheaply abroad. Every one of us is responsible for this. What are your thoughts?
  13. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I just read a challenge for putting together a shop for under $5,000 with all made in America components. Unfortunately, no one realized the opportunity at hand. I lost almost all of my shop tools in a move and am having to start from scratch. I have made the commitment to as far as possible...
  14. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I'm really thinking a mini circular saw would be a handy tool for sheet stock cutting. So the big question.. Which is the better tool: Rockwell Versacut or Dremel Saw Max? Anyone have experience with these tools?
