A few days before new years eve the door on my snowblower shed finally broke. Now I know what you're thinking "A shed just for a snow blower? Tha'ts just crazy… brilliant, but crazy!". At my old house I could drive the snowblower out of my garden shed door up to the driveway, but when we...

The sled is built for a friend to pull his kids around behind his quad. I used 3/4" plywood to make the body of the sled and painted it with the brightest outdoor paint I could find to stand out. It rides around on two snowboards and works great.

I built this for some friends that live in the mountains. My thought was that it would be nice to have something that was multipurpose, so I the bench seat folds out of the way for more room and it has a removable headache rack. That way it can be used for hauling firewood or people of...

I built this sled for my nephew to be pulled behind the snow machine. I used some skis for the runners that I purchased at the thrift store. Most of it was built with scraps that I had laying around. The roll bar is actually the end of an old futon I was getting rid of. For painting the deck...

Laminated oak frames, rawhide lacing. Oak strips steam-heated & bent around a form, clamped and laminated. Oak cross pieces with tenons fitted into mortises in the frame. All glued with resin glue. Laced with wet rawhide which dries super-tight and 'tough as rawhide'. 7 coats of spar varnish -...

I would like to think I finally mastered cutting the floating rings, considering there are 9 just between two of the pieces in that pic XD. The funny thing is that little one in front is probably my favorite. I call it the 'Randall'. If you mix 'rose' with 'candle', you get 'randle' (which...

March, 2012-Another box made from a solid block from Woodcraft. I have worked with walnut before but this was a first with "Claro Walnut." I'd say it is a little harder than ordinary walnut. Fun little project. I think the knobs were some left-over hickory. Tung oil finish. By the way, I...

This table is a new design that I am going to be showing at the lake home and cabin show next week. The trim on this thing took more time than anything so I'm thinking that I may have to get me a better sander. Thanks for all the great comments on on my other pieces.

I glued up these two cutting board a while back to get rid of some of the collection of exotic scraps that accumulate but I didn't finish them. Last month I glued up more scraps for 5 more smaller boards to be donated at my 45 hs reunion. The boards were a very big hit and one of my...

So one of the local clubs does an ornament swap at the Christmas party. For me, I didn't want to do the typical tree hanger…so I went with a snow globe. If you hit the light just right, you'll see glitter in it that makes it looks like it is snowing. It's maple burl painted with a white mica...

My first shot at turning Christmas decorations. I used tupelo which is a little rough, but they sanded down nicely. The tree is "painted" with acrylic markers.

Cut this little guy from more olive wood. It stands about 3" tall and is smooth as glaaaasssssss. I'm going to make quite a few of these guys for the fam.

I've been a long time lurker and learner on LJ and figured it was time to start contributing. I'm an engineer by training and profession, and general tinkerer by nature. My background to wood working comes from many fronts from construction grade builds (cabinets, decks, barns, etc.), antique...

Another bridge in snow scene. I really thought it was a pretty scene, and I love the way they turn out on red cedar. This one is 11×14 1/2. I had a heck of a time trying to get a good photo of it. Lots of glare. Finally had to settle for one of them. Anyone out there have any suggestions on...

We have been plowing ourselfs out of this stuff for less than a week now, and still exspecting more. looks like we have about 16" and who knows how much more we are suppose to get. Dont get me wrong, If I was in any better of condition, I would be right out in this myself. I have always enjoyed...
