The Woodshop Shed

Order Up!

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Been busy the past two weeks after our only Spring Craft Show. One of our regular customers asked if I could make a selection of Inertia Pens and Key Chain Screw drivers for them to use as gifts during the holidays.The Inertia Pens were recently put on Clearance at Woodcraft so I ran over to the local store and grabbed what was left to add to my small stash. Wound up with a full dozen in various color finishes. I was able to match the woods to the finishes with stuff I already had on hand and pretty happy about how they turned out. If you are not familiar with these pens they retract and drop with a flick. Kind of fun type of pen.The screwdriver kits are from Penn State (not a huge fan of their pens but like their little kits) Gun Metal was the chosen finish and again I matched up stuff I already had on hand. As you can see in the last pic they have a selection of tips stowed inside and then are held in the stem with a magnet. Great for glasses or small electronics.Now I have some other project I need to get done and then it on to the BBQ Swap.Hope you all have a good weekend in or out of the shop.CtL

My new truck

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Well last time I was here someone let me know that I need to add more details . I am not a writer so I will do my best. This truck started out as plan # 207 from Aschi's Plans. Well I tried to make one of Peter's truck , but as usual I could not stick to a plan. His plans are fun and easy. I just seem unable to follow a plan. All hooked up it about 36” and for me it's about a week to build. It has a lot of pine, oak, maple, ash, and little mahogany here and there.

Floating Clock

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


I made this clock using cherry and zebra wood. The pattern is featured in the latest issue of “Wood” magazine.
They used walnut and a zebra wood veneer glued to mdf. Since I had some zebra wood scraps, I used them. The clock mechanism is from Klockit. If is finished with a satin urethane.
This project was an enjoyable change from the Scrollsaw.
