I have had so many positive comments and feedback on the Celtic Knot Rolling Pin. Thank you for all of them. Many LumberJocks asked for instructions on how they are made- so here goes. I am a fan of “Cook Book” style instructions so if I miss any details, please let me know and I will try to flesh them out.

So I made a how-to video of the build:

1949 Reading Steam Freight Train
I started a new project. It is a steam train using Gatto plans. I currently have made the main frame, boiler and the display track.
I made a jig out of a strip of plywood with grooves spaced the right distance apart and then glued a fence on one side to line up the cross ties. I also made several spacers to go between the cross ties. This made it super easy to make the track.
Here is the main frame coming together.
The b...
