Comic Wall Display

Comic Wall Display

I wanted some shelves to display comic books on my office wall. There were a few requirements that I had: * No visible fasteners * Comics cannot fall off * Easy to switch out comics * Potential for future lighting The result is a French cleat system (no visible fasteners) with "lips"

Maple Scrap Pen Display

Maple Scrap Pen Display

This is starting to feel like Pask Makes' scrapwood challenge [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx4aVdqrbWc&list=PLuKoJWkcJCp4Kqw_bg6F73tQ5qpVm8YOf] . Much like the wands [https://wgb.me/wand-stand/], I had a bunch of turned pens scattered around. As any self-respecting woodworker does, I had a small offcut scrap

Wand Stand

I made a small handful of wands when I first got the ShopSmith as a lathe. Since then, the wands have just kinda been floating around the house on random surfaces. I finally had enough and decided to make some sort of display/stand for them. There's been

Red Wings Logo

This is a gift for a friend who sent us some stuff out of the blue after the tornado. The red wood in the logo is padauk (naturally red) on a maple background. Frame is walnut. Cut out using Hello Disco's [https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShopHelloDisco] laser

Comic Book Holders

Comic Book Holders

With my ever-growing comic collection, I needed some extra holders to keep my "loose" comics safe. The spines are made primarily from pallet wood (maple, red oak, and ash?). Sides are cherry ply. Made 12 holders but apparently have 2 extra "spines" so I need to

Bandsaw Box

My first real bandsaw box. Designed to fit underneath my middle monitor and around its stand. Made with alternating cherry and maple. Drawers are flocked (first time flocking). I cut off the cherry face of the drawers and routed new maple faces using a template bit. Drawer pulls are made

White Oak Mantle

White Oak Mantle

Just a simple, live edge white oak mantle. Started from a couple pieces of 8/4 stock. One piece was used for the majority of the mantle and the live edge, and the other piece was jointed to give an extra couple of inches for depth. Finished with semi-gloss, water-based

Ebonized Cherry Pens

Ebonized Cherry Pens

This is my first set of commissioned pens. 5 initial pens out of a total of 12 (the other 7 will be completed in the coming weeks). Ebonized cherry with gunmetal hardware. Finished with a mixture of 1/3 shellac + 1/3 denatured alcohol + 1/3 BLO and a couple

Desktable

I started out by calling this a "table", but I guess if it has a definitely front and back to it, I guess that makes it a desk? Most of the construction is 2x4s with half-lap joints held together by dowels and glue (no screws -- only screw-ups!

Wooden "Pixel" Flag

Wooden "Pixel" Flag

I had some off-cuts from a bunch of half lap joints and decided to make some "pixel" art with the kids. It was also a good excuse to experiment with making our own milk paint! [ wgb0.imgur.com [https://imgur.com/a/hcEXT] ]

Ash Segment Clock

Ash Segment Clock

I had cut the panels and fingers for this several months ago and never assembled it. I decided to go ahead and finish it to give to a friend for helping me move a ShopSmith across town. Cut and resawn from an ash turning blank. IoT driven by a Particle

Ash Pencil Box

Just a test of my new donkey ear for shooting miters. It worked pretty well on the short sides, but I'll need to make a longer ear for any longer stock. The long sides of the box hung off the ear, but I was able to get it

Donkey's Ear

Apparently, I picked up the knottiest, twistedest, unevenest piece of white oak you can find and tried to plane it down with no real goal in mind. After getting it mostly flat and settled, I decided to make it into a donkey's ear so that I could make

Lola's Poplar Box

Lola's Poplar Box

My 6-year-old had to do a Valentine's Day box with a theme of the state of Tennessee for a school project. After learning that the state tree is the tulip poplar, she asked me if she could build a box out of tulip poplar wood. Of course! My

Giant Segment Clock Frame

Giant Segment Clock Frame

I needed a frame for my giant segment clock [http://wgb.me/7-segment-clock/] that I built a while back, so I built one! The frame allows me to hang it on the wall a little easier, and it looks a little nicer. [ wgb0.imgur.com [https://imgur.com/a/HAtWD]
