  1. Ice Cream Scoops

    A couple days before Christmas Deb stopped by woodcraft to pick something up for me. She also brought back an ice cream scoop kit (very nice stainless kit.) She suggested I make a handle for it from dunnage to give to our daughter in law (that gets the dunnage for me.) So I grabbed a pre-cut...
  2. Ice Cream Scoops from Dunnage.

    I made a couple of scoops for Christmas presents and posted them to Pinterest To my (pleasant) surprise it generated a request for more. I have the process down to 30 minutes from grabbing a handle blank to ready to glue the scoop on. Pinterest a pretty nice site, it lets you price items...
  3. Master-at-Arms Coin Display

    A gentleman approached me at a craft show and asked if I could do a custom coin display for a friend. He brought me the coins and I inset them into a piece of walnut flooring I got from an elderly woodworker who was closing his shop. I've never done a custom coin shape other than round so I did...
  4. Cup holder for the pickup

    My favorite insulated coffee cup keeps falling over in the pickup cup holder. So I made an adapter from an old scrap of 4×4. Quick, easy, effective. Sanding and finishing not required.
  5. Cane handles

    At our Christmas craft show a gentleman took my card who was interested in getting a set of custom handles made for one of my dunnage canes. He brought a slab of curly maple to the shop and we discussed the types of handles, one long grip and one ball end. He wanted a military challenge coin...
  6. Lots more Ice Cream Scoops

    I made these one afternoon. I make handles for several things, so I have lots of blanks cut and ready to turn. The one with the pointed handle is an off axis turning. I made the scoop end on axis, then shifted about 1/4 inch in one direction, then 1/4 inch in the other. But I didn't turn the off...
  7. Shipping Skids

    I got a contract for 26 shipping skids to carry Launching Engine Cylinder Covers for the USS Enterprise (CVN 65)) as part of her decommissioning. Each Cylinder Cover assembly is 12 feet long, 15 inches wide, 5 inches tall and weighs about 900 pounds. The skids are designed to carry 2 covers...
  8. Wands

    My Grandson, Bryan, came to visit for the week and wanted me to make a Harry Potter wand for him. The crooked wand is Crepe Myrtle. The straight wand is an old venetian blind rod. Details of the build with more photos are here.
  9. 3 Tier Coin Display

    A customer at one of the craft shows asked if I could do a 3 level coin holder. She didn't want anything fancy, so I made three standard 2 slot holders and epoxied them together. Indian Don't know wood. Sanded to 320 grit, sealed with 2# shellac, polished on the Beall buff system. I think the...
  10. Candle Holder from dunnage

    The wife and I go to the thrift stores looking for things I can incorporate into my woodworking. We picked up the glass cylinder for a couple of bucks. I used a pre-made bowl blank to make the base. In use the candle sits on a glass plate. Base is about 8 inches in diameter. Base and cylinder...
  11. Candle Holder, colored plywood

    We picked up a wire-framed candle holder a couple months ago. It held 3 floating candle holders. Then we got a couple of pieces of color laminated plywood. So I thought I'd make a holder. Sanded to 320 grit. 2# shellac buffed off while wet. Buffed on the Beall System.
  12. Work...not art, shipping crates

    I do some subcontracting for the US Navy building shipping crates. These were for the Improved Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System (IFLOS) for an aircraft carrier. IFLOS is part of the equipment Navy pilots use to land their aircraft on aircraft carriers. This contract was to crate up one...
  13. Hanging Challenge Coin Display, from Dunnage

    I made these a while back and just realized the only picture I'd posted was when I tried cutting my finger off a Trepanning (circle cutting) bit. Made from scraps of dunnage left from squaring stock on the tablesaw. Each hole is cut to fit the coin. But in requiem, the wood is so thin, (about...
  14. 5 1/2 inch saucer in Curly Movingui (dunnage)

    As I posted in a blog article a small bowl I was experimenting with flew apart at 1300 RPM. No injuries, minimal damage, lesson learned. Not to be intimidated, I glued the pieces back together and finished the bowl. This is one of the few pieces of dunnage I feel comfortable naming the species...
  15. Uncle Perry's Crosscut Saw Display

    My namesake, Uncle Perry, was a blacksmith, farrier, and general farm equipment repairman for the small town he lived in in Northeast Texas from the 20's until the early 60's. His shop was in the middle of town, right next to the general store. My father inherited some of his tools, and I...
  16. 9" Butcher Block Bowl from Dunnage

    Decided to try something different, a butcher block bowl. Tablesaw wasn't set properly so there was some gap in the "square" sections, so after turning I had to fill some gaps in the bottom with shavings and superglue. Due to the nature of superglue on open end-grain I actually finished the...
  17. Balusters.....(now I KNOW I'm not a production turner)

    A former boss asked me to fix/replace a baluster/bannister/spindle from his house. I guess it was a year ago, maybe longer. I finally got around to making him a couple. The first one was a practice piece. It had a knot hole that was half the thickness of the spindle. I turned it with the piece...
  18. Business card and Smart phone holders from dunnage

    I had some scraps of wood left over and was trying to figure out what do make with them. The wife said she was going to go buy some business card holders for her cards at the craft shows we go to. BINGO!!! I made a few and they worked great…one more thing in the repertoire. We sold some so I...
  19. Harley Davidson paperweight, from Dunnage

    I got this Harley Davidson gas cap cover about 18 months ago to make a paperweight to sell at a Harley festival. I didn't get it done before the show, so It's been riding around in my craft show box. I dug it out this afternoon and made this using a bowl blank I made up before Christmas. Just a...
