Boxes are good, 5 lengths of that cedar to 12 inches glue them side by side and you will have a panel roughly 12 in square and 3/8 thick from that you can make many different types of bowls. Just a few ideas. It's always fun to create DW

Those look great. Thanks for sharing these with us. DW

Very nicely done Larry. Thanks for sharing this with us. Looks like making nameplates is contagious. DW

There be wood out there.... look for pallets, shipping crates, look at Home Depots trash pile near their saw, same for Lowes, drive around on trash day and you see wood everywhere.... old cabinet doors, furniture ( dressers, etc ). I just had a neighbor that redid her flooring and gave me 3/4 of a box of 9/16 in. thick 4" wide, 36 in long bamboo flooring that she had left over. Once your neighbors realize that you use wood it will start showing up for you to use I bet. DW

I have found an easy way to make the halo's for those compound cut Angel Ornaments that folks were doing a little while back. 1) a piece of 3/4 inch in diameter ( 19mm ) dowel rod 4 inches long 2) a 1/2 inch ( 13mm) Forstner bit. 3) a 3/4 inch ( 19mm) forstner bit. 4) an X Block 5) drill press 6) a piece of scrap wood to make the tool to find the center of the 3/4 inch dowel. Chuck up the 3/4 in. forstner bit in the drill press drill 90% of the way through the scrap piece of wood. Make sure that you do not go all the way through with the bit or you will have to start again. Using a smaller bit drill a hole in the very center of the hole you drilled with the forstner bit. The insert the dowel into the hole and mark it with a pencil. It will look like this: I made an X block a while back. For those that are not familiar with what an X block is it is real simple. Take two 3 inch by 3 inch boards that are 3/4 inch thick and find the centerline of each. Cut a 3/4 inch wide slot 1/2 way across each of the blocks so that you have something that resembles a fat square C. glue and fit the blocks together so that you have 90 degrees on each side and it looks like a big fat plus sign. You will need this or something similar to ensure that your dowel is perfectly vertical when drilling it with the forstner bit. It will look like this: Take your 4 inch long 3/4 inch dowel and place it in the x block like this and clamp it in place then carefully locate the center of the dowel and drill it as deep as desired with the 1/2 in. ( 13mm ) forstner bit: Then it is just a matter of cutting the halo's from the dowel at the thickness you wish to use. Hope this helps folks DW

Looking good Kevin. I seriously hope that you have an active and good back up scheme going. I have been doing IT for nigh on to 35 years now and THE number one problem is lack of back up. Anyway.. not going to get on that soapbox Phyllis is going to be happy with that. Great work Kevin. Thanks for sharing these with us. DW
