That’s going to be a hard entry to beat, Gary. Talk about creative joinery!

Wow! That’s cool as all get out.

-- It must be jelly baby, cause jam don't shake like that...

For not having much shop time, Gary, you sure haven’t lost your talent for beautiful work!!

Looks like the winner to me.

THAT is really neat. Great idea, and knowing you, giving up would be the Last thing you’d do. They look perfect.

Gary, I think this is the most creative entry I have seen from anyone, in a very long time.

Nice job!

oh I was SO hoping you’d enter this Awards event.
Now THIS is “joinery art”.

And that last picture—really shows off its beauty :)

Extraordinary Gary. I guess we’ll have to wait for your second one to see the progress photos – it must have been EXTREMELY challenging to design and to build.

two thumbs up!

Cripes Gary. That is just incredible.

Sorry, but you are going to have to recreate some of how you did this. It is not fair to tease us with the “I didn’t have a camera” excuse :)

Dude, these are hand cut??? Very impressive. I’m with Steve, cough it up – everyone’s got a camera!

I can see one of these frames as a clock face! Nice!

Good grief…just mind-bogglingly awesome!

I think I’ll stick to rectangles and dovetails, thank you very much!

Very nice Gary. I was hoping someone would do a simple project with innovative use of joinery just like this.
Very nice work.

This is what the contest is about. To encourage others to think outside the box by viewing the Best. All I can say is wow.

Good to hear from you Gary. The site has been missing your artistry. As usual beautiful work. Don’t stay away to long.

-- Bill - If I knew GRANDKIDS were so much fun I would have had them first.

Very nice! I’m assuming that the “pegs” (some square, some round) are added after the joint is made, more or less as inlay, but I haven’t a clue how you did the joint at “12-O’Clock”. We’ll just have to take it as a puzzle!
