Brag Forum / New Bank design
« on: March 19, 2018, 08:44:52 am »
Had a customer that wanted a Dinosaur Bank for her 5 year old.  This is what I came up with.








Made from 5 layers of cabinet grade plywood, shaped and sanded then sealed with tung oil and then stained with a watered down acrylic paint to allow the grain to show through.  Finished with shellac.  The bank is ~14 inches tall and ~ 11 1/2 inches long and 3 3/4 inches wide.

I have been seeing handles for drinking glasses but had not seen one for the standard sized Dixie Cups.  You know those Red, Blue , Yellow ones.  The ones you see a lot at parties.  Well I designed a holder for one.  I made it out of some scrap 3/4 BB ply.  Sealed it with Teak Oil and then shellac.

Brag Forum / Custom Piggy Bank Order
« on: July 29, 2017, 12:22:44 am »
There is a new barbecue place near me called the Proper Pig and one of the stores wanted me to make them a tip bank using the logo as a guide. 



I made the hat and monocle with my 3d printer but the moustache and bowtie were compound cuts.













I have not show them this yet.  I think that they will be happy with it.

The Coffee Shop / New Toy

I just purchased a Rikon 10-305 10" Band Saw.  This saw replaces the 9" Ryobi that I was using and it is heads above the Ryobi.  Being all metal it is very stable and it uses roller bearings for its blade guides and followers.  Well worth the $285 paid for it.

« on: February 12, 2017, 07:12:51 pm »
Steve Good made this pattern.  I liked it so I cut it 2x one at the regular pattern size and once at 40% of it.
The bigger of the 2 is cut from 1 1/8" Black Walnut, had a cut off laying around, and was finished with Tung Oil..  The smaller one was cut from 3/4 red cedar.and was finished with shellac.

I received an Email from ETSY the other day about potential massive delays if shipping to Canada due to a very possible mail carrier strike. I have looked this up on line and they have said that if there is a strike it will not be before 7/5/16.  Just thought you might be interested.  This affects everything going there, UPS, Parcel Post, DHL and even regular US Mail headed there.

Brag Forum / 2 sq ft planter- ( Late Mother's Day Gift )
« on: June 05, 2016, 09:00:26 am »
I know that this is not scrolled folks however I thought you might like to see it.  The planter idea I got from Steve Ramsey's YouTube channel.  Since I do not have the same tools he does I improvised a bit and did my own interpretation of his project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYg9jJS4cgw







 The planter is easy to make if you have a miter saw, drill, router and a screw driver and a planer ( hand plane will work as well just a bit more physical work than I can do :)).  Since I do not own a table saw I used a miter saw to do my cuts. 

You will need (4) 8 foot 2x4's that are nice and straight as well as good looking as they will be seen.  Cut each 2x4 into 24" lengths,  You should now have 16 pieces of 2x4 24" inches long.  I glued up (4) 4x4's using 8 of the 24" 2x4's.  I then planed and sanded them and then cut them to 22".

Next you will need (7) 8 foot 5" wide x 3/4 " thick boards.  I chose cedar ( it is more expensive than pine but it lasts longer ) I planed it smooth with my thicknesser.  I then cut them to 18" in length.

Next I set up my router and routed a groove into the remaining 8 sections of 24" 2x4.  I only did this on ONE side.  So each 2x4 section has only one groove in it.  I cut these to a final width of 22".

I set the height of the bottom part with a piece of 2x4 .

The top and bottom rails on each side are 2x4's with a groove routed into one side. 
I pre drilled the holes in the 4x4 corner posts then used 5 inch galvanized screws to hold everything together.
The side panels are cedar plank pieces 2 foot long and they just sit in the grooves, no glue holds them, not needed. They float so that the wood can move as it swells and shrinks with the weather.

Watch Steve's Video and what I did will make much more sense.

Brag Forum / Pine and Mahogany Inlay Bowl
« on: May 01, 2016, 10:20:10 am »
This bowl was cut from Pine and Mahogany.  The inlay was cut out of the pine and then filled with the polymer clay and baked at 275 F for 20 min.  The mahogany layer was added to provide a backing for the inlay and for visual interest.  Instead of a smooth sided bowl I chose to make it a stepped bowl.  The bowl is 7 3/4 inches long x 5 1/4 wide x 2 inches tall.  I used pure tung oil with no thinning as a finish.
