  2. Talking welcome sign

    I have a new small camper a Teardrop camper and wanted to have a sign for it when I'm parked at camping areas. I made one and embeded a recordable talking module into it. Kind of novel I think.
  3. Box #3 - Leaf

    I've been making all of my boxes out of the same leftover flooring I found in the garage, and while it's fairly nice red oak it's nice to have a bit of variety. My background is mostly in textile arts, so the first thing that came to mind was using some sort of batik technique to pattern the...
  4. Wing Chun Dummy

    A few years ago, my circle of friends embarked on a free time draining life stage called parenthood. One of my best friends and I decided to take on a woodworking project together, so that we would have an excuse to hang out (child and spouse free). Since my friend had taken up wing chun, he...

  6. Wooden leg

    My old Antique (Junk) dealer friend called me with a request for help the other day. It seems a fried of his needed a wooden leg. I replicated the missing appendage with half inch and 5/16 inch dowel rod. A few cuts on the band saw and he was dancing again. This toy was widely product around...

  8. Off Topic Coffee Lounge
    OK, looking for some direction here. I am trying to find a way to sign my work that can be used on a variety of projects. Where I am coming into trouble is finding an effective, and yet attractive and unobtrusive, way to sign smaller pieces like pens, stoppers and small boxes. On these...
  9. Woodworking Skill Share
    I would like to sign and date my projects, but want it to last. Not sure of the longevity of the "sharpie" approach and not even sure if I like the look. What would be a possible tool that I could use to engrave(?) my name, like a router, but with much more detailed control for something like...
  10. Woodworking Skill Share
    Hi everyone, I am really new to the woodworking environment and am currently working on my first project using hardwood, and I absolutely love the way it handles and feels. So much better than the pine that I have used in the past. I am making a couple of small gifts and was wondering if putting...

    Sketchup Model I had been planning on entering the LumberJocks Halloween Challenge. Anytime the prizes are given away randomly, instead of based on skill and craftsmanship, I'm all over that! But my wife didn't particularly want me spending a lot of time in the shop merely for the chance at a...

    Branding Irons Recently I had a logo drawn up for me. After years of just simply signing my initials in sharpie and/or inlaying a Montana quarter, I was going to finally bite the bullet and have a custom stamp made (not like a rubber stamp, but more of an embossing imprint). The starting...
  15. Designing Woodworking Projects
    This may be the wrong place to ask this question, but I'm just going to go with it. I have been making quite a few cutting boards lately. I have been debating on somehow engraving or burning a signature or my initials onto the board to show that it was made by me. I'm not sure how to explain...
  16. Woodworking Skill Share
    There is an old forum topic on this subject, but it is out of date now as some links to a product to sign work by having a medallion for inlay isn't valid any longer. The medallion inlay idea is nice though. I have found several places online that make small thin brass plaques. Some are self...
