  1. Northwest License Plate Frame

    I figured since I made the first, I needed a second for my car, and to help promote myself. I originally was just gonna add "West Coast Woods" and maybe a phone number or website on this, but then thought I should show off a little more creativity than that. The logos are of my favorite sports...
  2. RipCity Rearview Mirror Ornament

    The Trailblazers are starting to finally get some respect around the NBA especially after Mr Dame Lillard's series ending 3 point buzzer beater a few days ago! With that, I'm constantly pumped up 24/7 and wanted to make a little something inspired by it. So here's a little photo transfer of the...
  3. Got Wood?

    My dad really liked the two frames I made for myself, and he really wanted some with the phrase Got Wood? on them. He has quite the humor lol. So I decided to give cedar a try and see how it works for these. I think overall they'll be solid as long as all 4 screws are used to mount. You can...
  4. Shop Rates Sign

    People keep asking me how much I would charge to build or repair something for them, so I thought posting a sign by the door of the shop might help. This is just a pine panel (8 1/2" x 11"). I did the graphic in a publishing program, and reverse printed it on a piece of slick paper (the backing...
  5. Protecting your fanhood & Tabletops

    Just a quick little project from that same branch I made the iPhone dock out of. I'm really liking the easiness of the photo transfer through laserjet printer and lacquer thinner. For those who have done this method, what seems to work best for you?! Sometimes I get a flawless transfer the...
  6. Heirloom Cribbage Board (I hope)

    I finally completed it!! I was busy before Christmas building suet feeders for family, but I had really wanted to make this for my wife for Christmas. It's a little late but it turned out very well. It is made with Walnut, Cherry, Bamboo, and has a plywood bottom. I built it almost entirely...
  7. Minecraft Exploding TNT Prank Bank

    I made this fun Minecraft TNT Prank Bank with my oldest son (the Minecraft addict/expert in our house). The bank "explodes" when a coin is put in it, and it's a lot of fun to make and use. I just used some scrap 1/4" MDF I had laying around, but it would probably be better with a plywood (I...
  8. Lord Of The [Bentwood] Rings

    After making my first 3 attempts at bentwood rings, I soon realized what my next would be… And here it is! For those Lord Of The Rings fans, I hope you enjoy! For those that don't know, this is meant to replicate the ring from the movie. I, in know, think that I am even near as good as other...
  9. Photos Transferred to Wood, with how-to video

    I found an easy way to transfer photos onto wood. The process uses something called Matte Gel Medium which is a paint base that you can buy at any craft store. The medium goes onto the prepared wood like a paste, spread with foam brushes, then the photo gets smoothed on. After drying overnight...
  10. a Honey do project

    My wife said one of her other ladies was quitting where she worked and wanted a going away present for her. I said when and she said tomorrow. After losing the following discussion I set out to see what I could throw together. Luckily the lady is someone I have made live edge furniture for so I...
  11. Tigerwood License Plate Frame

    I had the idea to make a wooden license plate frame for a little while now and finally had the perfect opportunity to. I went ahead and used some Brazilian tigerwood for a few reasons: I have it on hand, it looks awesome, it goes very well with black, and since it's typically used as a choice...
  12. Rams Themed Table and Coaster Set

    My buddy gave me a call requesting a Christmas present for his dad, a big Rams fan. He wanted a big logo, the phrase "The greatest show on turf" and "Love Dakota 2013" incorporated, as well as a set of four coasters honoring the four greats; Kurt Warner, Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, and Tory...
  13. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Today I was finishing up the carcase of a base cabinet of a two piece china hutch. I decided to add a subtle detail, a lambs tongue, to the outside corners of the face frame. I grabbed the Dewalt 621 plunge router and chucked up a 45 degree chamfer bit, set the depth just right and began...
  14. Designing Woodworking Projects
    Someone has to have done this before… I am trying to transfer a design I created from the computer to a piece of wood, with the end result being that I will carve (or very carefully route out) the design. What are my options?

  16. Hand Tools
    I went a bit nuts on the Lee Valley Cyber Monday sale and picked up a PMV-11 Block Plane, Medium Shoulder Plane, and bevel-up Jointer. I also had the low-angle smoothing plane originally but decided to not get it. I then got into an email exchange with one of their CS reps (who was awesome at...
  17. Finishing
    Hello all, I'm refinishing my living room table copying the project in this link, http://www.instructables.com/id/Ouija-Coffee-Table/ . I used the 0000 steel wool in vinegar staining method the author of the article used and really disliked the resulting color, so I applied One coat of the...
  18. Woodworking Skill Share
    I'm almost embarrassed to post this, it seems like such a simple question that I should know the answer to but I don't and so thought I'd ask all of you. I am in the process of trying to make a rocking horse for my grandson's first birthday. I got some plans out of a "Readers Digest" book...
