Re: Band Saw Bird House

That is a neat bird house/project!

Coincidently I am building bird houses right now and if I may, I might try this in the future. I have some small apple and elm logs that are from trees cut on our property a couple of years ago.

I'll try to post pictures when I finish my current house.

Re: 1st Box attempt

If you hadn't shown the close-up I would have said it looks perfect. :)

Seriously though it looks good for a first effort and your mistakes are why I have yet to try a nice box.

Good job.

I can relate to having a large family and how the grandchidren and great grandchildren keep you busy, but then that's what they are here for and they keep us going. I also switched to le...

Re: Rocking Chairs

Nice looking chairs!

Re: Best woodworking project of yours

Both nice projects.

Nice to see projects, finished or in progress but I notice we don't see as many photos of projects as we used to.

Have fun and keep on creating great things.
