    Federal Influenced Serving Tray

    Hey guys! I haven't been over here too much lately, but I thought I'd show my latest project. It's a serving tray I've been working on for the last couple weeks. The fans were done a few months ago with no project in mind. LOML said she wanted a serving tray which gave me an opportunity to try...

    Carved Turning

    Thought I'd share what I've been working on for the last couple weeks. My dad showed me a lidded box he turned a couple weeks ago and I loved the basic shape, but I decided to take it a step further and carve it. It is walnut and the carving is supposed to be walnut branches. I hope you like it!

    New DT Saw

    Here is a pic of my "new" dovetail saw. This is something I started making a couple years ago. Alan DuBoff offered me some very nice saw nuts.

    Saw Till

    I needed a saw till for the few hand saws I have. Still needs some modifications for shorter saws, but it is much better than what I had. It also gives me a little space for the planes! I made about 80% with hand tools. Decided not to bother finishing it since I may built a better one (also...
