Well…here is my submission for the scrappy contest. The large piece of maple was from a box I messed up. The maple piece already had the miter cuts on it so I didn't need to cut that piece. I brought a bunch of scrap wood into the house and started thinking. The top darker wood is Dalmata. I was...

Well this is about as far as I got for making these tall skinny wine bottle holders. It does balance by its self. This was done for the contest thing for balancing. It holds four bottles. Made out of scrap wood. I used purple heart and red oak. It took a while to get the angles right, but it's...

I recently noticed that Martin had posted a contest blog seeking projects that are #1 made from scrap #2 are made in 1 day and #3 balance. When I read that it had to "balance" I immediately thought about some sort of circus act. The scrap wood choice was easy too as these pieces have been...

I have had these two pieces of scrap for some time now and have moved them from one place to another in the shop.I was going to throw them in the burn barrel on Saturday when I saw the challenge from Martin to make something that balances from scrap wood. That gave me an idea to make my second...

A bit of an odd one for me…but here you have my entry for the "Scrap It Out" contest. The Rules are to make your project out of scraps you have laying around, and with a day (or less) time in the shop, create something that balances. Most are taking it literally and making wine bottle holders...

this pen was made from scraps laying around the shop I use this pen daily.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear the word balance is balanced life. We weigh up our options in search of a balance between work and leisure; between individual and community needs; between what we take from mother earth and what we contribute back to our planet. For me the...

I have been meaning to put a bigger top body on this hardware I bought from Penn State. They had a design for a small diameter top that was very hard to get started and it would not run long when it did. I tool some scraps from the burn barrel and fitted them together, tapped a 10-32 hole in the...

This is my entry into the "scrap it out" contest. It's a rack to hold bills or other mail with 5 stepped slots so I can see the due dates, which I have a habit of writing on the outside of the envelope so I won't forget (hence the "balanced budget"). It's a block of hickory made from a 3×3/4"...

My entry in the 'Scrappy' contest. Balance your earings on a stand made from scrap wood. Segmented Pine offcuts & plywood flooring with hardwood veneer. Finished with wipe on poly.

Well here is my entry in the "Scrap it Out" contest. I used a small cut off of Padauk that I had, and decided to try iron on lettering. Printed out the words as you see in pic 3 and then used an iron to transfer them to the wood. This idea served as a test for some other projects I am working...

i made this today for the scrap contest. i have a union brother that dropped/destroyed his favorite level friday. the bubbles were still good, so i took them and promised him a new level for monday. i'm interested to see his reaction. he likes to make fun of my "wierd wood obsession" (i...

Just my entry in to the scrapwood contest. I'm doing tealights for Christmas this year and practiced with some glued up scrap - a little (very) birdseye maple, a little sapele, and some walnut. All saved from the I-don't-know-what-to-do-with-it-but-I-can't-throw-it-out box. I got some LED tea...

This is a very common design for a top but I tarted it up a little. Screws decorate the perimeter for a bit of flash and drilled holes make it whistle. The wood is bubinga with a maple axle. It was easy to come in on time with the one day build budget (Lumberjock's Scrappy 01 contest) so I set...

Well, I've been planning on doing this small project for some time… Actually, I am improving on another project that needs to be upgraded. Thus, making another project… It ALL uses SCRAP materials & thus far has not used any wood UNTIL NOW! The White Wooden Dowel at the rear of the mailbox...

This is composed of 37 pcs of spike shapes wood cut individually and glued to each other using a masking tape. Gluing and cutting is the difficult part. Without a base board, these 37 were glued by pairs, thereafter 3 pairs were glued. As you can see, the original plan was 36 pieces which...

So as I stated in my latest blog post of the Spalters Inc series, I managed to get some time to build an experiment to determine the temperature at which the pigment produced by Chlorociboria loses its color. Here is the wooden clamp I made to hold a test tube above a flame without it being...

This is a hair stick, usually balanced in a woman's coif, i.e. pony tail, bun, etc. My wood supplier was closing his business so he gave me his scrap wood. This piece of wood came from the rockers of an old rocking chair. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the wood species but will tell you it...

This was fun . . .what a great idea. I wanted something both creative and useful. I've needed a place to keep my chisels (and keep them safe and handy.) One piece of 5/4 oak for weight, one piece of 3/4 oak, drilled 5, 5/8" holes to fit hilts, and one for the base, then 3/8" oak on the face to...
