Well, here goes. I started out with some really big cottonwood rounds (that’s my son in the first photo): I cut them into 5” to 6” thick slabs and had to figure out a way to plane them down to 3” to 4” thick to use as table tops for TV stands and coffee tables. That’s when I came up with the Big Boy Router Planer below: I just hap...  Legacy MillI have a legacy ornamental mill model 800 (I believe) and I am looking for a .25x gear set for it.

Chip carving patterns #5: Fans 1I based this on the form used in a cross pattern from myChipCarving.com  camphor tray thing #1: Camphor Laurel tray thingA while ago I picked up a Carbatec carving miner, then of course promptly got buried under a bunch of other projects and forgot all about it.

This photo gives a good look at how I pegged my circles to the melamine ba... Chip carving patterns #8: Test PatternI don’t know, it just looked like an old style TV test pattern.  YAPPING inloud #2: Uncle Joe Died, Wish he was closer to me when I was younger so I could learn from him..My Uncle Joe Dies a few days ago and while I can’t say I knew him well I wish I did. His hobby was “Chip Carving” and he was up in ” Master Land” Doing it… here are some examples of his work He will be missed.. Last year he sent me a package with a chip knife and a Video Tape (that I couldn’t watch)and a small pile of wood that he had taken the time to layout and cut several designs into over and over and over.To help teach me the...  Virtual Pinball Machine #4: The Finished ProductI thought it would be cool to follow up and post the finished product of my Virtual Pinball Experience. It actually turned out so good that I got asked multiple times whether we gutted an actual pinball machine to build this. There’s also a short video so you can see it in action. Thanks for looking!
