A spin on the classic advent calendar, and as you might have guessed it is a non-lathe design. I actually wanted to make something on my mini lathe, too, but I do not think I will get it done in time. Anyway, I give you my Advent Puzzle, and the template to go along with it. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!

Due to mild weather in October, this year’s pumpkins, carved at the beginning of the month, succumbed to mold a measly two weeks later. In order to have something decorative to put on the front porch for Halloween, I made this wooden pumpkin that certainly will not go bad. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!

The Bangle Bowl is an event initiated by Kyle Toth and Zac Higgins for the sheer fun of woodworking and making sawdust. There are two categories, turned and unturned, i.e. with and without the lathe. Since I do not own a proper lathe or the skills to go with it – yet – I opted to make an unturned bangle. It is my first bangle, and thus I learned a lot from it, including not to make them too flimsy. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!

a group of Youtube woodworkers conspiring to make projects from their scrap bins? How cool is that? then again, I may be biased (or voreingenommen), but still, it is a great idea April Wilkerson, Steve Carmichael and Peter Brown came up with.

Whether as a replacement for a metal contraption or to make better use of the space behind a door, these versatile door hooks are always a good idea. Not only for the bathroom, where they hold bathrobes and towels, but for other rooms as well. For example, you can hand your brooms in the broom cubboard. And you can even practice making half lap joints on the table saw as you make them. Enjoy, and remember to be Inspired!
