Hey Guys, Over the last couple of weeks, I have been collecting “pallet” wood from work. The reason I say “pallet” wood is that it didn’t come in the form of a pallet but most of them are pallet grade wood. They are pieces 40” long X 3.5” wide X 3/8” thick. I don’t have to spend time tearing apart the pallet. So far all I have made with them is this display. Anybody have any other ideas? -- While teaching a class, a gentlemen once asked me: "When chip carving an intricate design, what do you do when you are almost finished and the wood breaks off?" I replied "Cover the kids ears." |

I’ve made a few sliding top Japanese boxes over the past few weekends. Fore larger sizes, edge glue your boards. They are fairly quick and easy to put together and take no hardware while maintaining a cool sliding top feature. This is a pile of projects made over the past few weekends that finally made it into the house. One of the mid-sized boxes has already been shipped off as a gift to my son. I think the square and marking gauge went with it. -- Sawdust Maker |
