another growth chart ruler done, this one they requested something firefighter themed (my friend who commissioned it, her husband is a firefighter). My wife found a fire fighter decal that I really liked, so I scrolled it out of paduak with plans of just inlaying that into a red alder ruler...

finished another growth chart, really fell in love with this one. Went more overboard on the carving because I was having too much fun, planning on reusing that carving or similar carving in another project because I liked it so much. My wife found this unique cherry board, actually looks more...

My lovely wife is a teacher and I wanted to make her a going back to school present. I drew A LOT of inspiration from http://lumberjocks.com/projects/98209 . Thanks to jordanp for the idea. I am not too confident with the woodburner so I decided to not include the numbers above the hashmarks...

Before I created the Kid's Growth Ruler, we would measure and mark the kids heights inside the closet door. This is a much better option to see how fast they grow without having the pencil marks all over the doors. This is a very simple project to do for a beginner. You just need 1×6 board...

Every year I make a few handmade gifts for family, and every year I try to come up with new and exciting ideas. Not always easy! - The first year I tried to keep them very basic; things that can be made fairly quickly and easily (watch the 2019 holiday gifts here) - The second year I went with...

After a couple months of focusing on skills, I feel like I'm starting to make some small progress. This Ruler Gauge is the latest tool I've made myself, it is a simple project yes, but it was a fun one, and it will definitely be a useful one. I had a spare steel ruler, and also a thin, 1mm...

April, 2010-I think I am now subscribing to six wood working magazines. One of them had a project of making band saw boxes out of burl. Well, that inspired me to do these. This is a cut-off of a trunk of a bush that was in my front yard, which I pruned way back. Once I had the bottom square...

I made these growth charts for my nephews kids. I have seen these online but all of the ones I had seen up to this point were made with painted numbers and lines but I made these with a router bit. I even routed the names of the kids into the growth charts. I managed to get the names and...

Started making this big ruler with the grand kids last weekend but run out of time and thought today would be a good time to finish it . Started with a laminated pine shelf 16" x96" and cut it in half lengthwise so we could make two rulers 6' 4" and have enough material for the numbers at the...

Still have some organ pipe wood left over for an old church organ. This is 1870's English pine and as clear as it gets. Had to laminate the legs which are 1 1/2" square. I tapered two sides of the legs and glue and screwed them to the frame. I used pocket screws to make the frame. The table...

As with everything I work on, this took longer than I wanted it to, but at least I managed to finish this height chart for my daughter before she is able to stand! I made a custom adjustable jig to cut grooves every 3 inches for the ruler portion and I am quite happy with how that turned out...

Pintrest, we all know that name and it affects us all differently. Some, browse through looking for ideas, others like myself have ideas given to them through additions of the honeydew list. No matter the source when we all hear the name spoken we expect the sky to darken and lightning to...

One of the nurses at the hospital asked me to make her a growth ruler for her (she was pregnant at the time). I had already made one basic ruler so I wanted to spice it up a little. Out of a spare red alder board I beveled the sides, and inlaid some rosy quartz and malachite flowers on the top...

Another growth chart for a friend, since he only had one child left at home that was still growing he wanted his initials on it, so I grabbed a curly maple board, inlaid his initials with malachite and obsidian, and inlaid all the numbers with fumed curly eucalyptus veneer.

Another growth chart done for a friend, she wanted something farm/country themed so I picked up a nice aromatic cedar board. I decided I would try an intarsia, since it was my first try I searched high and low until I found one I wanted to try, I borrowed a image from Linda Couture (give credit...
