Candle holder

January 2009

I filed one of my chisels into an end scrapper, then tried it out on this candle holder.

  Snowman head

January 2009

This is my second effort on this one. The first effort started from firewood, then became firewood again.

Turning blanks

January 2009

These blanks are from reclaimed firewood. It's good practice and provides stock for projects.

  Tophat Snowman

January 2009

This was a fun little project and I was very pleased with the result.

Wood rounds

December 2008

I ran a lathe blank through the chop saw to produce a stack of wood rounds to be painted as ornaments.

  Nail Station

December 2008

Marie needed something to keep her nail polish from tipping over, so I zipped out this little workstation.

Hurricane lantern base

November 2008

This hurricane lantern base is now ready to be decorated by our resident artist.

  Lighthouse blank

October 2008

Marie wanted a little lighthouse to paint and I managed to turn these without too much trouble.

Mallet

October 2008

The mandatory wooden mallet.  I'm looking at my firewood with different eyes now.

  Little lathe do-dad

October 2008

First time ever, so I took a chunk of old 2x4 and trimmed it to a 2x2 then just started shaving to see what would happen -- and shortly this little piece appeared.
