Unlocking Scroller's Block







Was sitting around last weekend wanting to cut something but didn't know what. I wasn't real thrilled with the latest offerings in Woodworiking and Crafts magazine so I began looking around the shop for some wood and found a half inch thick piece of wood about 7 inches square and a quarter inch piece of bloodwood. Valentines day was coming up and I seemed to remember Steve Good had a pattern for a heart shaped basket and so I went to his on line catalog containing hundreds of free patterns for the downloading and I found this little beauty.

About two hours of cutting and another one sanding, gluing and finishing and there you have it.

I went back to Steve's catalog and looked for some more fun things to cut and there were several to choose from, but what caught my eye this time was a neat little stand he designed for the I-pad computer. Well I don't have an I pad but I do have the Kindle Fire and this project works real well for that too as you can see.


Found some other things I hope to cut in the near future when I get some time. Right now I have a couple of orders to fill. More on that in a future post.
