Bend an odd number of layers of thin bendy ply around a form (including a piece of veneer with marquetry as the front and back layer). Cut the formed piece to shape using a scroll saw. Secure the clear acrylic photo holder with hand made (and threaded) nuts and bolts made on the metal lathe.

My wife has a craft room and in that room are boxes filled with stamps and punches that she uses to make cards and such. She told me that she always has to dig in the boxes to try and find a certain stamp or punch and that she needs something better to organize. I mentioned that she has lots...

Merry Christmas fellow LumberJocks! I had a lot of fun making these ornaments. More precisely, I had a lot of fun figuring out how to make these ornaments. If you are interested in seeing how I went about it, you can check out the video below. I did expect the thin spindle to be challenging...

Back in 2019, I created a thin strip jig as a way to cut thinner stock in a repeatable fashion. Thin strips might not seem desirable until you need one. The one I originally made wasn't well documented, so I started a new one. I'm going to run through it here. First I created a base by...

Venturing into thinner territory. Found a live larvae while turning this, filled the holes with malachite and continued. 10.25"x3.25" and 1/4 thick. Weighs 15 ounces.

I built this out of SHOPNOTES and I love it. Very simple but very effective. I am not sure which issue it was from. Maybe you know? I modified it a little. I found that a steel rule cut to size works great for the gauge. Just scuff/scratch one side and epoxy it on. Get a scrap of clear packaging...

I got this idea from Captain Eddie Castelin (see ) for this great tool. Basically all you need is a hardened piece of steel and that's what edger blades are ! So scrap the paint of the blade, cut it with a grinder or a hacksaw, grind the tip to the profile you want, epoxy some wood for the...

I've been working on learning how to do this box for a at least a year. After about 3 test boards and a couple of extra gouges I was happy with the results and ready to make the box. I first saw Peter Follansbee make this box on the Woodwright Shop...

Well the bark fell off in about 30 seconds but the natural shaped edge still looks pretty cool. The grain has some nice dark streaks and stuff. Managed to get the walls nice and thin though as you can see in the shots on my chandelier. This was made from a cedar log that a neighbor had from...
