Popular Post Chestnut Posted November 30, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 Starting this for everyone. Share you small Christmas projects if you like. If you want to keep them secret post them after Christmas. I used a thread like this from a couple years ago to try and get good ideas for this year. I made my mom a few spurtles, at her request. My shaping of them was noobish (left) to start and got slightly better (center) but they are still far from perfect. Also made my first cutting board so i could truly join the woodworking community. The cutting board was to match a serving tray that i made for her last hear. This year she wanted it refinished because she mucked it up. My dad liked my purple heart mallet a lot and wanted one similar but smaller. I have a couple other gifts I'm working on I'll post later. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post gee-dub Posted November 30, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I make these these and tie them on packages along with the name tags. This gives everyone a little something from the shop even if they're getting a fruitcake. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Tom Cancelleri Posted November 30, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 I never buy name labels for my gifts, usually I just write on the wrapping paper in a gold marker. I figured I'd just engrave names on some scrap 1/4" curly maple I had. I stepped it up a notch and had the CNC add some holes to put some silver rope and make ornaments as name labels for the gifts. I just got started on some gifts yesterday. Cajon is in the works. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the pattern he used in some of his old stuff. I think it came with the bandsaw he bought. Some time in the early to mid 90's. Amazing find. You sir, win the internet!

Llama Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Very similar to the pattern I started with. I didn't know it was ever in a book Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed ;-) I found that pattern once upon a time too. The little ones are just a modification of that approach. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
