  1. Center Piece Candle Holder

    I ran across this candle holder in woodsmith magazine #182. My original thought was to make this out of a nice, figured, piece of curly maple that I had been saving for a small project like this. After getting the materials together, I did not think the 4/4 curly maple was thick enough to get...
  2. The Mean Grinch

    This little guy began as a sketch I did one evening and I decided I wanted to see what I could do with the epoxy inlays I have been trying. Then I decided to do it as a how to blog which you can find here http://lumberjocks.com/JoeyG/blog/series/4660. I am not going into the how to's here, I...
  3. Photos Transferred to Wood, with how-to video

    I found an easy way to transfer photos onto wood. The process uses something called Matte Gel Medium which is a paint base that you can buy at any craft store.

    Surface Preparation Ah… finally some woodworking at last. I don't really have any time or the mind space lately to focus on construction and creation much, and it felt like I was just collecting tools as of late. All with the preparation of 'one day' to be able to get to things. As it...
  8. Hand Tools
    I went a bit nuts on the Lee Valley Cyber Monday sale and picked up a PMV-11 Block Plane, Medium Shoulder Plane, and bevel-up Jointer. I also had the low-angle smoothing plane originally but decided to not get it. I then got into an email exchange with one of their CS reps (who was awesome at...
