I built a new computer this past weekend to let me process photos and videos better. However, my desk space is very limited because I also have my work laptop, docking station, and dual monitors taking up the real estate. So I also bought a Keyboard, Video, and Mouse (KVM) switch box to swap between the two systems and not have to use multiple peripherals. I didn’t like the idea of it sitting on the floor so I made this to mount it to the wall. KVM Bracket front by Scott Baker, on Flickr KVM Bracket Rear by Scott Baker, on Flickr

Thank you Slasher. As far as mounting the TV on the wall - yea, not happening as I live in a mobile home and do not trust the walls will hold it very well. I know some people have probably done it but I just don't trust it.

I'm designing an entertainment center for the house and thought about incorporating some scroll work into it but not sure what or IF I should even do. Part of me is thinking of using any of the trivets I found in the pattern library for the area directly behind each drawer handle. Additionally, a person I knew suggested incorporating something into the top of the structure which again, I'm trying to figure out if I should or even what I can use. I also don't want whatever I do to look out of place so I'm not decided. Would anyone be willing to provide their thoughts or recommendations? Here's my current design using either White Oak or Maple. The center is 100" wide by 65" tall and 16" deep. Entertainment Center by Scott Baker, on Flickr

Good job

To offer another source, Klockit.com sells clock movements and parts. I have put their stuff into two of my clocks and will do so again for the face I made once I return from my business trip next week

Thank you for the compliments. I drilled them with just holes first but they were definitely not in any resemblance of a line. So I just made them look closer to what the wheels on my two bikes look like. But even with that, I kept touching the pattern with the chuck of my hand drill so it would mess up the marks. I need to pay more attention to how far in I go with the bit

Howdy from another Scott in Ohio - although I live over in the Dayton area

Using Grampa's pattern as a base, I sat down tonight and cut this out of some plywood. I say base as I had to modify the wheels a bit since I can't seem to not mess up the pattern around the smaller areas when I drill my holes. Threw some shellac over it and will get the clock parts after I return from a work trip to Chicago. Motorcycle Clock Face by Scott Baker, on Flickr

Very nice

Looks great but what are you counting as the 51st state since there are only 50?

Wow; I'm jealous of the patience you had to have cutting that. May I ask how long it took?

Great looking dreamcatchers

I like that; I may have to go find that pattern and give it a try

Great job Kevin; I like your version better than mine

Thank you everyone

Yes, I'm also on Lumberjocks

Scroll work for my wife and daughters (21 and 18). The basket is one of Steve Good's patterns while both of the animals are out of a Pattern book I bought from Woodcraft. Although the horse was very challenging and not perfect, I think the tiger was the hardest for me. But they seem to like them. Cut from red oak and used the Danish oil Natural finish on them.

What is really sad was after being in my friend's place after 4 years I actually cleaned my workbench in front of the bikes (taken in 2018) Cleaned Up Workbench by Scott Baker, on Flickr too bad it only lasted maybe 4 days and devolved to what you can see above

Thank you for linking to that. That also explains why I didn't see it - my search terms weren't working (pictures of shop) so I didn't find it. I love what pictures are here so far and thank you all for sharing them.

Great job on that; where did you find the pattern?

That is very nice; great job

I'm sure this has probably been asked a thousand times but I find it interesting to see where people work out of whether it's for their vehicles or wood projects. If you are willing and as long as it's suitable for work, what does your shop look like? Here's mine. My shop is five miles away from the house in my friend's pole barn where we have the wood shop and I store three of my motorcycles along with his. Until this year, working out there during winter time just really didn't happen much as we didn't have very good heat sources. However, we finally insulated the wood shop area and I bought a torpedo heater which makes it way more comfortable now. I've done more winter time projects this year than any of the previous 7 years I have had access there combined.

Wow, very nice job

Thanks all

Please know I tried to search for this first but I think I wasn't using the correct terms so if this has already been answered please let me know where to look Now that I am almost done with the remake of a display case project I messed up on before Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of making some Valentine's Day gifts for my wife and two daughters. As I have a lot of scrap oak, I figured I'd use it up but one of the scroll patterns looked to be larger than some of what I have laying around. Consequently, my first thought was to edge glue two boards to make a wider piece for the pattern. Although I have since decided on a different pattern that will fit what I have much better and still look good (or so I hope ), I am still curious if cutting across a glue joint would cause any problems? Is there anything I should consider before tackling something like that? I know there are a lot out there that say just use plywood but I personally don't care for the look of plywood as the main piece. I'm sure I will change my mind some day but I really do prefer actual hardwood instead and will use plywood as a back or a bottom
