Oh For Keepsake!
Its that time of year again: HOLIDAY PROJECT TIME! So this year, I decided to make a few little keepsake boxes, thanks to some advice from The Great WOODini. I also took inspiration from a box Nicole keeps on her nightstand and developed a new design that is much more practical for the average woodworker to make. The boxes feature a secret locking pin. Once removed, the lid slides off on a sliding dovetail. And as always with these holiday gift projects, you can modify them by trying diffe...
Kite Camera Reel #1: Day 1: No Rush...
I have a buddy who won a sailboat charter in the British Virgin Islands. I started off promising him to teach him how to sail well enough to go on his own. Long story short, we ended up chartering a sailboat too. The other night (over a few adult beverages), he said he wanted to build a camera kite. For those of you that don’t know what the heck he’s talking about, it’s a contraption that allows you to literally fly your expensive, digital camera, usually over the Pacifi...

Shop Setup #1: Before...
I recently finished with a summer sales job out in Indiana and moved back home to good ‘ole Az! My wife and I were planning on buying a house this year and capitalizing on the tax credit thing. The 2 car garage was going to serve as my workshop to start building cabinets and furniture part time while I go back to school… But as things often do, plans changed. We decided that while owning our own home would be nice it just isnt the right time for us now. So, we are renting a li...
Back to better video
I’ve been having problems with my video feed lately. I keep breaking by good cameras (shop not a good environment). Then I crashed my computer. After waiting almost 2 weeks for a recovery disk. I think I have things going again. I also replace one of the camera. For building pictures and recorded video see my Current Projects link at wwbeds.com or poggyskids.com. See what we are doing live: <div></div>
The Zen of Card Scraping
I was making some veneer panels in the shop. I had resawn the lumber, matched the grain, and glued up the 1/8” thick pieces. After all this I had to scrape the excess glue from the joint in the middle of the panel. Outside was a cool but sunny autumn day here in Billings, MT. The double doors face south and I had them open. I started scraping the veneer panel glue joints and all you could hear was shhhhhhck, shhhhhhck, shhhhhck. The veneer panels are made of curly maple and th...
How to Cut Burls with Pin Up Video
Hey everyone, I was asked by a few of you from my blog “How to find legal burls” “once I get them how do I cut the burls”?

October 2009 Shop Tour
I’ve been getting a lot of questions lately about my new shop. As I explain in the video, the sale of our old house fell through and we are now dealing with two mortgages. So I have what I am hoping is a temporary shop setup in my 3-car garage. So here’s the tour! Enjoy.
