  • Bow Front Table
    by Teo Oruc / Lawrence Peterson

    Teo was determined to make a bow front table from a design by McLaughlin at https://www.epicwoodworking.com/product/be/.  Teo is a subscriber to his channel. This relatively small table is a real jewel, packed with stimulating design treatments along with more advanced woodworking techniques. The table’s contemporary design features the bowfront form, sculptural legs, and creative uses for dramatic effects.

  • Kumiko Lamp
    by Gary Means

    Gary Means created this unique Kumiko Lamp using Hinoki (Japanese Cypress), cherry and white oak. This pattern uses three different angles to fit the pieces together (22.5, 67.5, 45 degrees). Several jigs were constructed to help cut the different angles. It was a fun, and time consuming piece. Nice work Gary!

  • Angry Chicken Cutting Board
    by Gary Fox

    Gary saw this mural on the wall at a restaurant and it inspired him to make it into a cutting board.  So he snapped a photo on his phone, went home and converted the image into a computer file for his CNC machine.  After gluing up some maple boards and waiting 45 minutes for the machine to do its thing, he filled the carvings with epoxy resin.  The results are better than expected!  You can almost feel the contempt the chicken displays for the cutting board.  Fun project.

  • Remember 5 cent Candy
    by Gary Fox

    With a nod to yesteryears, Gary made a nickel candy dispenser from poplar, walnut and plexiglass, as a birthday gift.  The machine stirs nostalgic best wishes with good and bad news.  The good news is there is no coins required to get a few of your favorite candies.  The bad news is you must fill the machine yourself and the few candies dispensed used to cost a nickel, now cost about a dollar!  The back of the machine has a birthday reminder carved into it.  A fun gift and easy project.

  • Breadbox
    by Guy Raymaker

    This is a breadbox Guy created from scrap wood from another project.  He decided to experiment with rabbet joints, which he had not used before.  It would not have turned out nearly as well without the invaluable help he got from the monitors, foremen and officers working in the shop when he did the project.  One interesting note is that, when fitting the interior of the lid, it ended up being so tight that Guy ended up just leaving it in place without glue rather than risk cracking the wood removing it.
