It's me. I carve these when I'm not in the mood for complicated stuff.

I would love to be there when your wife sees her Christmas pressie.

John, you are doomed....doooooooooomed I tell you.

Very elegant indeed. Lovely work on both pen and box.

David,

Here's a video of a trencher being made. It's called a 'trough' in the description but it's the same thing.

I use that non-slip router mat stuff, no marks.

Another vote for peanut butter and conventional spring traps here - Irish mice love it too and it's the only bait I use now.

Hi Keith,

I'm a lefty but I decided to learn to turn right-handed because everything is geared that way. Now I find it very natural and I feel a bit awkward when I use my left hand but I'm doing...

Hi Burt,

I subscribe to Woodturning magazine and one of the the highlights of my month is when it arrives.

Thank you Frank.

It's not the most elegant storage unit ever built but I got exactly what I wanted. I was going to close in the area at the bottom but there was no point because I would seldom,...

Here's a tool trolley I built for my turning tools. It's nothing like as good as others here but you might get an idea.

Thanks for that Mike,

I'm in Ireland and everything here costs a fortune so I'm looking at other ways to achieve a buffing set-up than buying well-known systems.

Hi Mike,

Are all those wheels part of standard sets you bought or are they from suppliers other than the well-known ones? I'm thinking of making my own buffing station and I was trying to find...

I'm almost positive that there is a law expressly forbidding the cutting of quality wood to fit a smaller lathe if it already would fit on a large lathe. I am also pretty sure the fines for breaking...

Hi Andrew,

Allen,

The TV stand works great because it is on castors and rotates within it's own footprint. I purposely didn't utilise the area between the brackets and the base of the stand because I have...

OK, the trolley is done. It's approx 48" x 16" x 16". It is fastened to an old television stand so I can rotate it in a small footptint. Not exactly a work of art but it's what I wanted and I'm...

Well, my tool trolley project has taken a bit longer than I planned but that is because I had to clamp everything and then bring the boards into the house to let the glue cure as it is too cold in...

I would go to see Jimmy Clewes because I saw him demonstrate here (Ireland) and I had a 3 hour class with him the next day which was just brilliant. He is straightforward, honest and demystifies...

I am building a tool trolley-thingy right now and should have it finished by the end of the week. It is very cold here (Ireland) so I'm having to clamp the pieces together and bring them into the...
