In my first Adventure with the Minilathe I said I would be making a roughing gouge, but as many of you saw right away, it turned out to be a scraper. A good tool by my standards, but not what I promised you. So here I try to deliver on that, and make a proper roughing gouge. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!

If you have watched some of my past videos, you might know that I like tealights (For example here and here). So I decided to combine that and my fondness of ridiculous long project run times, and this is the result. Tealight holders with an endgrain element, made in fall 2014 and finally finished. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!

Seeing David Picciuto talking about the Birdmouth Joint I remembered seeing one in an image on Pinterest a while back, and I thought while it might be a good idea to get a dedicated router bit if you plan on making many of them, the table saw should work just as well.

This is my entry to Sterling Davis’ Pallet Upcycle Challenge. The idea is to make something nifty out of a pallet, and I decided to build a toy kitchen for… Continue Reading The Pallet-Kitchen – Pallet Upcycle Contest Entry
We all have it – this piece of furniture that you do not like and want to get rid of in good conscience – because the landfill is already big enough. So why not upcycle it? For the cheap stuff from particle board that might not be the best option, but for furniture made from good wood, the options are limitless. Here I turn an old serving cart into a rustic tray. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!
I like the “new media” for taking down ideas and accessing them from virtually everywhere as much as the next person who likes them, but taking down notes on paper has something liberating, and offers a lot more options than a keyboard does. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!
In one of the episodes in season 8 the Doctor activated the “siege mode” for his Tardis in order to make it impenetrable. Combining the basic design with a mechanism seen in one of Steve French’s videos, I am making a little treasure chest reminiscent of a time lord’s vessel – the poor man’s siege mode tardis.
