I was inspired by Dusty56's weather station and he was kind enough to encourage me to try this fun project myself! With his advice I immediately ordered the kit from WoodCraft. I made the weather station for my mother who is an avid weather watcher. Just today she informed me that the...

Finally posting my first project! I made this for my Dad, who is a bit of a weather junkie, for Christmas. The idea was to make two boxes, one of which would rotate inside of the other to allow the instruments to be both protected and hidden (although really I just thought that it would be a...

So here is the first variation on the theme. Bubinga w/ ebony. Four coats of GF Satin Oil/Poly Top Coat, and one coat of micro wax buffed to a sheen. The wings on WS II are thicker, 7/8", wider, and on a 20 degree inward angle (versus 12 degrees). They are also further apart, 1 1/2", which...

I've seen a lot of these types of weather stations over the years. Seems like most are wall mounted, but I made this one to sit on a desk or book shelf. You can find a lot of plans online for these. There easy to do, and make great gifts. Here is my version. . I have more pictures...

To further the abilities of my weather junkie Dad, this year the weather station went digital… Made of spalted maple, the box containing the weather station is supported on a walnut stand by brass rods, which you can change the position of to change the tilt of the entire box. This is one of...

Here are some shots of Weather Stations III & IV. The one on the left is Mahagony/Ebony. The right is Jatoba/Ebony. In these versions the wings are 15 degrees inward and the tops and bottoms are symetrical. The middle space is 1 1/4" wide. Overall I think these dimensions are the most...

I made this gun cabinet for my son. Everything in this came from the farm. The old barn wood came from the back side of one of the barns here. I really need to put some new boards back on that barn. LOL The clock is a reverse clock, and yes, it does run backwards. I still aint got use to telling...

I hand carved the fishing lures out of pine and wood burned the anchors, clock,and corks .

My manager recently retired and this is the weather station I made for him as his retirement gift. The piece of wood is one that we actually cut down at some point last year at the park. I forgot to take a picture of the back before I gave it to him but it is still very natural on the back and...

Spalted maple and walnut were used to make this gift. The instruments were obtained from Lee Valley and the finish was satin urethane.

So here's the finished project (I need to update the blog). It stands about 14" and is made out of tiger maple with an ebony inlay. Two coats of GF Seal-A-Call, two GF Top Coats, and a wax finish. The magnets work great for holding the top in place, but thankfully they are out of range of the...

My mother-in-law asked me to do something with her old weather station. I hope she likes what I did with it. I built a new frame for it and used only the gauges from the original. It's made from solid oak and sprayed with clear lacquer. The key to this project was precise drilling of all the...

I picked up the weather instruments from Lee Valley a while ago and have been keeping my eyes open for a piece of scrap wood that would be suitable to house them. Last week I found this piece of birds eye maple. Being a cheap woodworker, I opted to not purchase a 2 1/2 Forstner bit to create...
