Making a Beer Flight
Here’s a quick and simple woodworking project that can be made in a day without a lot of fancy tools. This display could be used as a candle holder, beer flight or whiskey flight. Whichever one suits you best! In the example in the video I’m using hickory wood but I’ve also made them in red oak and walnut and look just as great. This is also one of those woodworking projects that can be easily modified to your own style.

Making a Whiskey and Shot Glass Display
A real simple woodworking project that involves turning the shot glasses on the lathe and displaying your favorite bottle of whiskey.
Whiskey Display Details
This was a very special project for me as it was used in my wedding ceremony this past October. A real simple woodworking project that involves turning the shot glasses on the lathe. The top pieces are suspended using dowels and cut out using a printed pattern and spray adhesive. The four holes that hold the wooden shot glasses were drilled on the lathe using a forstner bit. I chose spray lacquer as my finish as I needed something that dries quickly and protects the wood. A very simple woodworking project the focuses on design. The tutorial video above takes you through the entire process from beginning to end.

How to Make Lincoln Logs from 2x Lumber
In this woodworking tutorial I show how to make homemade Lincoln Logs from inexpensive 2×6’s
In this woodworking tutorial I show how to make homemade Lincoln Logs from inexpensive 2×6’s from Home Depot. I used to love Lincoln Logs as a kid and thought I’d recreate those memories by making my own. If you go to the store to buy this classic toy you may be shocked by the prices these days. This is a quick and simple woodworking project that can be done in a weekend or even a day if you plan it right. You will need a few basic woodworking tools to complete this project. I’m using a tablesaw, bandsaw and a router mounted in a router table but like any woodworking project there are many ways to accomplish a task. You could use a dado stack in your tablesaw instead of a router and many of the bandsaw cuts could be made on the table saw.
In this example I decided to make my Lincoln Log house permanent by gluing the pieces together and pin nailing on the roof and base. I plan on using mine as a birdhouse after the stain and paint has had a few months to off-gas.

Making a Bangle Bracelet with Walnut, Maple and Rare Earth Magnets
Making a Bangle Bracelet with Walnut, Maple and Rare Earth Magnets
It’s a pretty simple process that starts by gluing up some contrasting wood and ripping 2” pieces on the tablesaw. I will then cut a groove on one piece and a tongue on the mating piece. After that I’ll drill a quarter inch hole with a forstner bit on each end a then glue in a rare earth magnet. Next I’ll take my printed template and attach it using spray adhesive and cut out the bracelets on the bandsaw and do some final shaping with the disc and spindle sanders. This is a quick project that can be done in a couple of hours.

Thrift Store Lamp Upcycle. Trash to Treasure Woodworking Project
Upcycling a thrift store lamp and giving it a new life!
I find myself going to thrift stores and antique malls quite often these days to find gems for upcycling. Today was a good day! I found an old “New Home Sewing Machine” and table for only $10! On the same trip I found this desk lamp that I thought would be perfect for a new upcycle project. We’ll save the sewing machine for another article.
I only want the guts and the lamp head so I tear apart this lamp and discard the base and gooseneck cover. I’m using mahogany wood for the base and I cut it in a way that’ll hold Post-it notes and a pen. This was a fun project that only took a few hours to complete. You can bet I’ll be doing some more mantiquing in the future. As always, be safe, be passionate and Make Something!
