Business card holder

Business card holderNothing fancy, but I had some scrap cherry around my shop and needed to make myself some business card displays/holders for my retirement planning & investment management business. I'll be using these for my booth at the upcoming The Woodworking Shows in NJ in early-March.I made five of these and gave a few of out as gifts; kept two for myself. Not shown in the pics, but there is dark blue peel & stick felt on the bottom. And the joints are #4 dominos w/ glue. Thanks for looking! And if any of you will be at the Secaucus, NJ stop of The Woodworking Shows, stop by and say hi!- Andy

A Mitre-BOO

Furnished content.

A Mitre-BOOBoys and Girls,On the bandwagon of my Woodpeckers aircraft grade aluminium love fest, I was hesitant to review these mitre clamp sets and thought I'd just brag about the box I made for them.As always, ho-hum, designed in SketchUp
and battling the urge to laser cut, I decided to try out my finger-joint jig and the proverbial PVC/clamp glue-up
Finding my fingers in joint, I carved a box out of 10mm pine now that is a feat in itself. growing 10mm pine trees!
Well it worked and I got a reasonable pine box. I have always had issues joining top box half to the bottom, I put a contrasting merbau rim around the join
which I thought looked flash… and so did the termites… hey just gagging… personally, I hated it!Why A Mitre-Boo, rc may ask rc, Why a Mitre-Boo? pretending I heard him when I designed the engraving for the box top I intended to call it A Mitre-BOX, however, the effigy of the mitre jig looked like a ghost image to me add 2 + 2 together and even for large values of 2 you still get 4 DOH!
Finished…. and then put 3 lathers of tung oil on it… after removing the jigs.How do you use it? You don't unless you have a set, however, this is how I use it/them
Now I shall attempt not to condone my extravagance towards these jigs, however, another alternate in my arsenal are these end clamps by WP,
though not the pretty, pretty aluminium, but rather boring plastic!File this under another one of the duck's fantasies and save yourself the trouble of reading it!PS. I posted this to prove that there is life for a box after MDF.
