    Lamp Base from Plywood

    March 1, 2018

    Last year we made a round stacked plywood lamp base and it turned out awesome. I’ve been thinking about it lately and decided we really needed two of them.

    DIY plywood lamp base, build it yourself, made in Nova Scotia

    Tight quarters in the workshop

    I completed this race car bed last week for a customer. All I need now is for them to pick it up so that I can continue with my projects.

    Milling lumber with Chainsaw today

    May 7, 2016

    Spent about 4 hours or saw making lumber today from the fir and spruce logs I had piled up behind the workshop. The logs were cut in summer 2014. The bark still on, they are starting to get buggy. So I slabbed some up to get some 2×4 or whatever I could get. The scraps and small logs were cut up for firewood.

    This is the type of chain I use for slabbing the logs.

    I keep forgetting that the GoPro camera damn near needs to be on top of the action to get some decent footage. View the video in full screen for a closer look.

    Make your own pegboard hangers

    January 17, 2016

    I had a bunch of retail packages to organize recently. Luckily I found a pegboard cabinet locally for a good price and snapped it up. But I needed a couple dozen hangers. Not wanting to go the consumer route, I opted to see if I could make my own and see if it would work.

    pallet boards on the bench

    August 20, 2015

    Today I picked out some old pallet boards from the wood pile out back. Pulled out most of the nails and staples and sanded them down. Glued together now, I’ll let this set up overnight for a strong bond. Not sure what I’ll be doing with it, I might cut out another wood map.

    Too hot to be outdoors, the coolest place today is the workshop. Kept busy cutting out the wooden maps that are on order by a few folks.

    RyobiSC162VS-2 Looking for opinions on scrollsaw machines, in particular, your opinions on what blade mounting system you prefer (and why) for working with small blades #3 or smaller. Anybody?

    Experimenting with router bits

    Freud straight bit 1/8 inch

    While making my sliding garage screen door I got the idea for making use of some scrollsaw patterns I own. Maybe I could decor the door, you know, dress it up a bit. And it starts with router bits, what to use based on what’s available.
