  1. I'll include two. My brother in law passed away a few years ago and my sister asked me to make a box for some of his ashes. I had some hesitation at first because I knew that I would have to be the one that added his ashes. Cremation and ashes freak me the heck out! I figured with enough personal protection gear I should be alright! I was looking for some ideas for a nice box and never could find what I wanted. So I decided to think outside of the box. We are truck people, my brother in law always had nice trucks so I decided to make a truck to hold some of his ashes. This is what I came up with. The next one is something that I had planned on making for my Mom for Mother's Day. I bought the plans and bought the wood sometime early in 2017. But kept putting it off thinking that I had plenty of time. Well before I knew it Mother's Day was here and I never got around to making it for her. So I told myself that I would make it for her next year for Mother's Day. Mother's Day 2018 was coming soon and again I procrastinated and never got it made for her. She passed away 4 days after Mother's Day. This was the very next project that I made after she passed away. I have it sitting in my entertainment center. It is made with Walnut and Leopardwood.
  2. Nice job. That black pipe sure is expensive.
  3. Nice! Cutting that rope would drive me crazy.
  4. Cool, wonder where I could get some milk jug caps. Hmmm,, wait, I work at a milk processing plant! LOL
  5. Nice job finding that post. I haven't heard from Birchbark for quite a while,, he made several great patterns for me. Barry
  6. Great pattern, great cut, and great family story!
  7. Thanks Dan, Steve's site is the first place I looked and didn't see it. Then I checked Sheila Landry and Sue Mey's. Thanks for taking the time to look. I'm finishing up w sets of Cornhole Boards and then I can start on some Christmas stuff.
  8. Wow! Very nice set-up and lots of nice work. I could see why you should have some help working the booth. The Merry Christmas plaque with the 2 bells hanging below caught my eye. I have looked on several different sites and do not see it anywhere. Is that something that you created yourself or can the pattern be found somewhere? Thanks, Barry

    Thanks Melanie. I have made a couple of Santa portraits the past few years. But I am always looking for new Santa patterns.

    Nice job! Can the pattern be found here in the library?
  12. Nice work! I like them all. Toymakingplans?
  13. I have been deciding on buying that pattern and making it. We already have 1 or 2 "Christmas Countdown" items that she sits around the house. If I do make it, I'm sure my wife will want to paint it. Yours looks pretty dang good!
  14. Nice pattern, great video too.
  15. Very nice! Nothing like a new toy. I have its bigger brother, the 14" with the enclosed base. A guy at work made me a rolling base for it so that I can tuck it away when I'm not using it. Is yours light enough to move around or will it find a permanent home on a bench?
  16. Recently made some Jack-o-lanterns, the others are from past Halloween's.
  17. I have purchased some of their plans, they are very well detailed.
  18. Thanks for the "Shout-out" Frank. I like "Box-O-Lantern" for a name! Nice touch on beveling the top.
  19. Thanks Dick. The wife decorated for fall yesterday and set all 5 of these out on the front porch railing.
  20. Much appreciated!
  21. Thank you sir!
  22. I found them on Pinterest. There are tons of them, just do a search.
