The Woodshop Shed

Wooden spoon / ladle

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


There was a need to replace the favourite porridge ladle. After a session in the workshop I replicated the original one. The wood is linden (harvested from a big tree that we took down in our garden several years ago) and is finished with food safe mineral oil. Note the flat front which makes it easy to scrape the bottom of the pot.

Picture frame support

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Every time I made a picture frame I ended up cobbling together a some scraps to hold the frame for finishing. I finally decided that was a waste of time and made this holder. It'll adjust to any size frame up to 2' x 3'. It could be any size if you use long enough threaded rods. Construction is pretty simple and should be obvious from the picture. I goofed at my first attempt and didn't leave enough room from the top of the support above the rods. So I just glued on some pieces to raise it up. I should have done that in the first place since it was much easier to glue on a thin piece of plywood rather than cut a rabbet. Drill the holes on a drill press with a fence so that all the holes line up.George

BROKEN WING

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


This box had a broken wing and a few other damage issues that needed to be addressed so a bit of debating about the solution .
Well the answer was remove the original wings and come up with a new and different design and make new
faces for the lid and do some caving on the lid and refinish areas that had slight damage .The repair turned out just nice and also changed the look of the box .The comment about the damage was , it was on the desk and when i came back it was on the floor it may have been the cat .
