 Kody's Bed #2: LegsHere is a dry fit of the legs. It is a deviation from the plans, which called for laminating 2 boards together. But it would leave an unsightly glue line.

Celtic Knot Pens #1: One way to do itThis was requested from multiple sites, so I did one for everybody. Here’s some photos of my process;I only had enough time to do a two-ring knot, but it’sall the same to make a four-ring knot accurately if you follow these steps.
