Can you make a sign for the Cub Scouts - Sure. Well actually two signs - OK. Four kids, two signs each, total eight signs - alright, what am I getting myself into? For those that think CNC is a push the button and forget it hobby, I give you exhibit A. I spent more time on these damn signs. It...

These were all done with my scroll saw. Used oak, cherry, Pine. All were special order. Most of what I make is form a person asking me if I can make. So far I have never told any one no. It make take some thinking, but I some how find a way

Wooden sign, 90×32cm, made of 25mm oak board, with natural edges on long side. I made some fake live edges on short sides. After I transfered letters form paper on wood, letters were carved by hand guided router, some 3mm deep, with 6mm straight router bit. Letter grooves were torch burned, than...

Continuing with the Handmade Christmas theme here is a section of signs and frames (clip style) that are going out soon. the stenciled sign i built the pallet out of more scrap I had around the shop then my DW took over from there. Love it when we can work together on a project. The frames I...

These panels were a commission for the Big Lynn Lodge, in Little Switzerland, North Carolina…a great place if you are in the area. Some are of Oak and some are of Ash. They measure 3'x5', with the exception of the tree, which is 2'x3'. For this job I paid a friend, Kevin Wadell, furniture...

A few months ago I found a good deal on a 100w co2 laser. I have thoroughly been enjoying adding a new skill to my woodworking.

Here are a couple of signs I made for Gracie Barra. If you are unfamilier with what that is, it is a school for Brazillian Jiu Jitsu. The signs are made in maple. The Black sign was routed out using a template. The red sign was hand carved. The Taz is also hand carved and is attached...

So, I ruined this sign~ I need to switch how I paint/ finish these. This would have bee a decent sign, but I tried to use ink instead of paint…..and it bled. (I DID take precautions to eliminate potential bleeding~~~It failed) It bled and then I tried to 'fix' it…. I completely ruined it…this...

Signs I made for a Karate fundraiser. I messed them up by trying to spray them with a water based paint (Liquitex) and just about ruined them. I ended up 'route planing' them over and basically starting over. If I didnt commit to doing these, I would have prolly scraped them all~ I sprayed the...

So, I did this sign because I did one that I royally messed up and it made 'Top 3' on here. (here is that link) I did 2 signs in response and I think that they turned out very well. This one is about 6"x 26"~ish long. I think it is hard to see on the pictures, but I used Gel Stain (emory) on...

Previously I added a project that showed signs for Gracie Barra. Here is the last one I have carved. (I added one picture to the last post too.) This is hand carved in maple and my lady and I painted it with acrylics.

This project started almost a year ago, but I have been very busy with the Navy since it's completion and am just now getting around to posting… I hope you all enjoy! I started working as the EMT at a summer camp in upstate NY several summers ago, and at the end of last summer they offered for...

It's that time of year again for decorating. After a tie in last year's competition because of a technical victory, my students were ready for a good old fashioned "snow ball fight" if that's what it came down to. This year's theme was decorate by subject and you must creatively use the DECA...

I love to do custom orders, it is always fun to see what the customer can think up and then trying to find the appropriate pictures to match their ideas.

Two Camphor Laurel wain edge slabs… gothic font… the lack of colour in the camphor is a perfect foil for the words… Nice quick job.. Just got to love that laser…. Small sign is 600mm wide and the larger on is 800mm…

Ok they are not all Cedar, the Zombie one is Cherry Wood

As I've posted previously, there is a furniture shop about a block from my house that leaves it's cut-offs out for who ever wants them. The question I got from my wife tonight was: "Don't you have enough"? She was asking because I had just announced that I was going to head over and see what...

Alas it was time to redo the work shop. ..something new and improved. ..fresh. ..clean. .fitted. ...made for purpose. ... so after many years checking tool boxes in and out a simple yet bloody obvious suggestion was made. .so after banging my head on the wall for many days for not coming up with...

A few days ago, Bill sent me a Private Message challenging me to make a small wooden box using glueless joinery. This is the result. The joints are held together with pegs made from bamboo meat-skewers. I soaked the bamboo in water overnight so that when pressed into the holes drilled slightly...

Over the weekend, I made a couple workshop signs for my shop (it's actually a garage for my cars but it does sound better to call it my shop than my garage, doesn't it?). Here's one of them. I'd like to make a huge sign like the New Yankee one may be like 14" x 20") but until one day I have my...
