  1. Birdhouse

    While shopping for Christmas gifts for my wife, I spotted a nice birdhouse at a garden center. I snapped a pic and went home and built something similar. All WRC from scraps I had in the shop. The gift was well-received. :)
  2. Display Stand

    I normally carve, usually my own designs, or unusual (interesting) "other" designs (modified) that inspire me. However, my Pastor requested that I come up with a way of creating a Christmas tree "display" for Poinsettias that could could be used for a Christmas sermon. He left it up to me, but...
  3. Toy Horse Stable

    I made this barn for my horse loving granddaughters. I looked at lots of pictures and came up with this design. The barn is about 3 feet long and a foot wide. The doors are big enough for the 9" toy horses. If you would like to make one for your kidsm you can see how I made mine here...
  4. Workbench for small workspace - extremely stable and strong

    I have a small space, a little more then 7 squared meters for main work in DIY carpentry. My motivation was simple: how to make a small workbench that fits that room and still be heavy and strong as a large workbench. The length had to be 1,34 m without vises. I wanted vises of my own...
  5. Tabletop Nativity Stable

    I completed this project last night. My wife and I wanted a nativity set for ourselves and the kids, as we've never had one. I looked in stores here in town. Junky or too expensive. Looked on line - eh… "I can make one of those". Famous last words. Right up there with "This will only take a...
  6. Carry Case for Spotting Scope

    I needed a carry case for my spotting scope. The original packaging included a resilient foam insert that fits the scope perfectly and protects it from bumps, so why not reuse it? The box is made from red oak with a few knots to give it character. The hardware is for a guitar case and was...
  7. Woodworking Skill Share
    I'm making a simple 6 drawer mid century modern dresser using 1/2" birch plywood. I used pocket holes to attach everything. I'm nearing the end and I've noticed it sways left and right very easily. It's as if my rectangle design can be turned into a parallelogram by just lightly giving some...

    I am looking for someone who can build a nice barn and paddock display for my daughter's model horses. I would like for it to be large enough to hold several horses and have several paddocks. I'd love to have it as a Christmas gift for her. It will be something that she can have and can have...

    Know your wood #1-Cherry Most people only talk about grain at the most superficial level of how it looks. We woodworkers enter the fibres. We tease the cells apart with the chisel's edge and search for weaknesses and strengths in the species. We want to know these intimate details so we can...

    Backwards teeth on blade ?!? Well, I'm REALLY new at the woodworking game, and I went out and bought myself a lot of power tools during the Christmas Holidays. One of which is a 15" floor model bandsaw. Today I decided I am going to start a bandsaw box. So I glued a bunch of wood together and...

  15. Wood & Lumber
    I broke the pins on my ligno meter and can't seem to get ahold of a replacement. I was never very impressed with the consistency of the meter so I'm looking for recommendations on a better meter to replace it with. I buy kiln dried woods and am a luthier, so stability on a small scale is very...
