SPEED BAG MOUNT

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


One of my sons-in-law recently outfitted his basement with a workout room. He was able to buy the bag for a reasonable price but the mounts were several hundred dollars for something that would hold up.I had a 10ft.+ length of 5/4 X 9 oak laying around so I cut, jointed, planed, and glued up 2, 26” blanks.Glued the blanks together with the grain at 90 degrees to each other to minimize the chances of it splitting from repeated banging and finished it round with a jig on the router table. It finished up at 24” diameter X 2” thick.Made the brackets from a 4' piece of perf. angle iron and 2 ft. of 1/8 X 2” steel strip.To mount the frame to the platform I inserted 6 threaded inserts and attached the frame with 5/16-18 hex head bolts. It's rock solid with no bounce at all.

knockdown display shelf

my grandson wanted a small display for his lego creations. since his mom needs to pack up the project in her car when they head home, it needed to be easy to take apart and put together.found this design and it worked out great. each shelf is held in place by slipping in between a pair of 3/4” dowels near the top and bottom of each leg. as the legs spread at the bottom and close up at the top, the shelves are pretty much locked in place.had to take out a 2nd mortgage for birch plywood :/

I found yet another use for my trusty speed squares. Just clamp one or two of them inside the corners of a cabinet when you're gluing it up. This guarantees that the corners will be square. –Charles Mak…Source

Few more crosses

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Two more crosses. The smaller one is cherry with walnut for the contrasting color. The larger one (about 2 foot in height) is a piece of walnut with amazing color variations. I finished both with Odie's oil and I'm loving what that finish does to deepen the beautiful color of the walnut, and the cherry as well. The smaller will likely go toward my friends' St. Jude's fundraiser. My husband liked the larger so it now is in our home, between the entry and the kitchen.
