Where Are My Glasses? The Nose Knows!

Another great use of scrap wood from Steve Good, pattern designer. Have made several of these and sold a few. The tricky part is contouring the bridge of the nose to fit your glasses.

This one is made from poplar which is easier to shape than oak or Cherry or walnut. What do you think is a good price point for these? Love to see your comments.

Tiger Tiger Burning Bright

One of the ladies I work with is having a birthday tomorrow. She loves tigers so the other gals in the bay took up a collection and asked me to make this clock for her. I was blown away that they thought enough of my work to ask me to do this . Hope you like it Linda. I really enjoyed cutting it.

Oven Rack Pulls Anyone?

From a pattern by Steve Good, these are said to be big sellers at craft shows. Hope he's right.
These are made from 1/2 hardwood. The top one is oak and the bottom one walnut. Really neat thing is, they are made from scrap wood and only take about a half hour to 45 minutes to cut out.

This is My Scroll Saw

This is the famous Dewalt DW788. It is the saw most veteran scollers use to create thier work.

I got this one for Christmas from my wife and it has proved to be a wonderfull gift.

I had been using a Delta Q3 for the last nine years and it served me well and paid for itself many time over. But lately I had been having a problem with it cutting square and straight. When I would cut puzzles from 3/4 inch wood the pieces would slide freely one way but hang up the other. I also had trouble with blades breaking after just a short time of use.

With the DW 788 both problems were instantly solved. It cuts true and square and is also very quiet. About the only sound you hear is the blade going through the wood. I really like it and expect it will pay for itself even faster.

Taking the plunge...First shows of 2010 scheduled

Well I finally got around to booking my first shows of 2010. I heard about this guy in Lapeer who does pretty good craft shows that get good results so I decided to try a couple. The first one is August 28th in Clio. It's the Arts and Music Fest. It is out doors and will give me a chance to use my EZ UP tent. The second is October 16th and 17th in Davison. A friend of mine did this show last year and it was HUGE!

I will be booking more shows for the spring and summer in the near future. The problem is my hand cramps up severely every time I write a check or even think about it. It's kind of like the shooting pain I get in my shoulder whenever I reach for my wallet! But despite the pain, I need to get these shows booked so I can start working on projects that I can post here for you to see.

They will be coming soon.
