  2. Super Mario Bros. question mark block box

    I made the question mark block from the original Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo Entertainment System as a Christmas gift for my brother. The structure of the box is maple. The question mark design is cut from yellowheart, padauk, and chacate preto turning blanks. It is finished with shellac...

    Little wood turning going on- firewood to a votive candle holder :) Details in the video on wood and my beginning lathe skills
  4. Small bowl (4 inches) from dunnage

    Yep, yet another bowl design from the dunnage pile. I made a lager "inverted" bowl a couple weeks before Christmas and thought I'd try it out on a smaller scale. Indian dontknow wood, sanded to 320 grit, one coat of 2# shellac buffed off while wet, then about 3 or 4 applications of superglue on...
  5. 9" Butcher Block Bowl from Dunnage

    Decided to try something different, a butcher block bowl. Tablesaw wasn't set properly so there was some gap in the "square" sections, so after turning I had to fill some gaps in the bottom with shavings and superglue. Due to the nature of superglue on open end-grain I actually finished the...
  6. 3 Bentwood Rings

    First off, let me give full credit to fellow Lumberjock "Heavy" (http://lumberjocks.com/Heavy) and his post on how to make your own bentwood ring (http://lumberjocks.com/projects/91767). I don't know how to "tag" him in the project, if anyone else could, I would love for him to see my first...
  7. Custom straight razor in Bloodwood

    I finished this set of razor scales a while ago. The blade was ground by a guy I know from some straight razor meetings (yes, they exist). He ground it too thin to hone by normal means, so I got it for free and threw some bloodwood scales onto it. The finish is cyanoacrylate (Gorilla Glue Super...
  8. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I'd like some advice on a 14" bandsaw on CL. The owner says it needs a new guide. How big of a job is it to change out a guide? I have a 12" and would really like to move up to a 14". The price is right if it won't cost too much to make it run. Also, was this generally a good model...
  9. Hand Tools
    I recently got 5 hand planes and would like to restore them all. I have instructions on how to clean them up and give them a electrolysis bath and everything. The only problem I need help with, is what's the cheapest way to sharpen the blades? Should I use wet stones? sandpaper? find a shop to...

  11. Blogs
    Cyanoacrylate wood finish? I thought "What if I coated the whole ring in cyanoacrylate finish?" ...and I tried it. The rings have since been through regular everyday wear including dishwashings, handwashings and showers. END RESULT: This finish is holding up better than both Waterlox and...
  12. Blogs
    Celtic NOT - a journey This is the blog of how I built Celtic NOT. The design is one of a recent series of overlapping circle designs. Originally there were two possible patterns These are the original paper models. As you can see the more complicated of the two had an interwoven line on the...
  13. Safety in the Woodworking Shop
    My head is just a jumbled mess with all the topics on Dust Collecting and it's getting to the point of frustration to look for answers without doing another post. As my garage shop comes together, I am nearing in pulling the final trigger to buy all the duct work to go to my DC and Super Dust...
