lildesertwoodshop Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Sooo as the Holiday season is approaching fast, I assume many other Wood Workers build gifts for those on the list to receive. In the past I have done Cutting boards , boxes , serving trays and such that always are received well to those of whom have been gifted as I will do again this holiday season. So rummaging around my scrap bin today waiting for glue to dry , I seemed to find a lot of strips of material that I think most folk would have as well. It came to me that this was the perfect stock to make some nice picture frames. Easy to make and with an insider to help with the appropriate picture for the frame for the receiver makes a nice holiday gift. I put this together today and think I will do a few more as I already have the material waiting to be used. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmaichel Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Both of your scrap projects are really nice. I have been thinking about doing some scrap projects myself. I want to do a couple picture frames. Thanks for the inspiration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lildesertwoodshop Posted October 31, 2013 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Soo my friend hooked me up with these clearance tray and domes for $1.99 a piece from big lots and with a handful of scrap strips , a drawer pull or two leftover from past projects, put together some cheese trays. A few more “scrap” holiday gift ideas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodger. Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Nice ideas! I always get hammered with requests for cutting boards. I just can't get away from making them every year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I must admit, I hate building the same thing multiple times. However, it is Christmas and there was some great time with my boys. And, they're done now so, don't have to do that again for another year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer_J Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Ipad holders. Anyone who owns an ipad needs one of these! The perfect scrap / cutoff gift. I have been working on the design for several months and it has paid off. I use my ipad way more since i made one. I also made an ipad out of wood to bring with me to the market to display them.

TheFatBaron Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Spencer - I made a couple to mess with different joinery techniques a while back. Those simple monitor/laptop stands are great for practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer_J Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I make two passes with a 1/4" dado. First one is at 15 degrees. Second pass is at 20 degrees. It allows some room to adjust the viewing angle to reduce glare. It took a lot of trial and error to really dial in my master template but once you get the two angles you can figure out the ideal depth and width. I went to the apple site and downloaded the case specs from their developer website to get the exact dimensions of the ipad. The ipad blocks are 6x8 and the ipad mini holders are 4x6. Most of the ones i have made are 2" thick but thats just what i chose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinScottDeVico Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Thank you, I'm working with a galaxy tablet which is similar to an iPad. I'm gonna try and build some sound amplifiers on one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpt life Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 The plastic iPhone holding molds that contain funnels for audio came to mind as soon as I saw the first post. Post a pic or two if you beat me to it Justin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
