Today I wanted to show you how I turned tiny porch posts on the Micro Woodturning Lathe. I'm still building one of my tiny houses and I thought this would be a nice addition instead of just a plain wooden dowel. Let me show you how I made them.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Supplies:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://proxxon.com"> Proxxon</a> Micro Woodturning Lathe DB 250</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <a href="http://proxxon.com"> Proxxon</a> Scroll Saw</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> <a href="http://proxxon.com">Proxxon</a> Five Piece HSS Chisel Set</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Wooden Dowel</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> Sand Paper</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">First, I determined the length of the posts and cut two pieces using the <a href="http://proxxon.com">Proxxon</a> scroll saw.

Get the blade over to one of the edges and saw to the corner. then back up a tiny bit aur curve the blade to the next corner. Once you get all the way around the center blank mill be able to pop out. I just lift the piece up and it falls out. Next, I turn the piece the opposite way and cut down to the other corner. This does take quite a while to cut each window, but it works well.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK3IgD1x5dF6aithN9xtouGmFgjwiSAbc3h-3sdhB0QjdKMY-LTBVgiuVapueh94IlRacEg_cz6GwB0FhUT8IfXi_2hTnu27uB6vDgYwPG5U2UFWn2GLL1G7dDzICE_CCw5qcSnebwtxYLTg_0I-3Pg1GtpKo1ECIRf8N1VlTMxsmu341mGCI9jOFdaEg/s640/IMG_9208.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK3IgD1x5dF6aithN9xtouGmFgjwiSAbc3h-3sdhB0QjdKMY-LTBVgiuVapueh94IlRacEg_cz6GwB0FhUT8IfXi_2hTnu27uB6vDgYwPG5U2UFWn2GLL1G7dDzICE_CCw5qcSnebwtxYLTg_0I-3Pg1GtpKo1ECIRf8N1VlTMxsmu341mGCI9jOFdaEg/s320/IMG_9208.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Occasionally I may have to sand on the inside edge if there's any roughness, but my Proxxon Cordless Belt Sander cleans that right up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlcy5oKNivz0q1odL6gxqsKoFmyPLF6NtWtdk_5NnHvtLpKN0l-vyKw1_6den-lQ85L-GRrEQtRouTJh-BV5EiHGLIqFSIu2V5jqFfGfuU6fPgJ-xHjaXV9PUPR6giLCcFPUeSRK2V_j0-uz2GX1ntRB_WWZVCMIc_SqV4jUfDNNM9UgH0eExq-LXvch0/s640/IMG_9209.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlcy5oKNivz0q1odL6gxqsKoFmyPLF6NtWtdk_5NnHvtLpKN0l-vyKw1_6den-lQ85L-GRrEQtRouTJh-BV5EiHGLIqFSIu2V5jqFfGfuU6fPgJ-xHjaXV9PUPR6giLCcFPUeSRK2V_j0-uz2GX1ntRB_WWZVCMIc_SqV4jUfDNNM9UgH0eExq-LXvch0/s320/IMG_9209.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This method will work when cutting out any shape in the middle of a piece of wood.

Hope this finds everyone well, and anxious and motivated for a new project. </p><p>I just want to tell you that since it warmed up a little, I have been enjoying my workshop. But, I didn't know what to make, I had dug out an old board that I knew would work for whatever project I decided on. Flipping through an artists' journal gave me an idea, so now I will get busy and show you what I made so you can go out and make yourself 1 or 2. This would be great in a toddler's room to hold his colorful books.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZmABbDHqNUFBSpmP9Agnut2w8xY52kpvRc8x-LeSLT0OUnI9et8XTGePteIWKLGL8g3U7VpMIFpcoK3CxJVdVyuP9EVyvTykYJWvbLElGrh77ILR7wfkD3CYQ7FQd3gtBjEnFbZ-CSUrPHrTNq8h3-HO8sIpG8Q_XuXAH8zHEwni62VB4bICAvn1YVpwS/s5712/IMG_5683.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4284" data-original-width="5712" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZmABbDHqNUFBSpmP9Agnut2w8xY52kpvRc8x-LeSLT0OUnI9et8XTGePteIWKLGL8g3U7VpMIFpcoK3CxJVdVyuP9EVyvTykYJWvbLElGrh77ILR7wfkD3CYQ7FQd3gtBjEnFbZ-CSUrPHrTNq8h3-HO8sIpG8Q_XuXAH8zHEwni62VB4bICAvn1YVpwS/s320/IMG_5683.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p>I used just one board. 1 x 7 x 48 </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjRi3mOC1U2UJ5_TTollXfpwFEgQCk46Dji2gAWukeZeZEckxtZ7EqACfn2qnldsSfu-arV58QhdCDyjMsKI68GeCGz_k_uUQ9xAnZsbbqmEK_9gGOC1cGKEXwLS3h_m6Cn-dG5Q1E4H1FdIzUUe56gb-nBZpXEJKF175jV0Tiao2QYL0eSnRKUZoTEir/s5265/IMG_E5684.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2349" data-original-width="5265" height="143" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjjRi3mOC1U2UJ5_TTollXfpwFEgQCk46Dji2gAWukeZeZEckxtZ7EqACfn2qnldsSfu-arV58QhdCDyjMsKI68GeCGz_k_uUQ9xAnZsbbqmEK_9gGOC1cGKEXwLS3h_m6Cn-dG5Q1E4H1FdIzUUe56gb-nBZpXEJKF175jV0Tiao2QYL0eSnRKUZoTEir/s320/IMG_E5684.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGbQLRRN8ddPIpALr7pg_9wqviuy72VpFzGh6V-AK7eeROevUD-Ah8f6SKyRbEtdA0FLl8s5kQQ-PiPo7gpMpu-0Y6IlNjHNry7pzOvdwUoHhmO_aAoHMnAHb4pco4Tbwgnw27nsR7KyAZt759AApHb3tcQ007OB5fPMdeDG36JfeEYxTAL3vbmJE2ORRX/s5301/IMG_E5669.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5301" data-original-width="1501" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGbQLRRN8ddPIpALr7pg_9wqviuy72VpFzGh6V-AK7eeROevUD-Ah8f6SKyRbEtdA0FLl8s5kQQ-PiPo7gpMpu-0Y6IlNjHNry7pzOvdwUoHhmO_aAoHMnAHb4pco4Tbwgnw27nsR7KyAZt759AApHb3tcQ007OB5fPMdeDG36JfeEYxTAL3vbmJE2ORRX/s320/IMG_E5669.JPG" width="91" /></a></div></div><br /><p></p><p>First, I transferred my pattern onto my board Then, using my <a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon mini bandsaw</a> I cut out all the pieces.

Hope your winter is going well. Groundhog says an early spring and I'm all for it! I'm ready. Speaking of spring. I like to go fishing when the weather is nice, but I hate storing the fishing poles. Seems they are always getting tangled or falling over or just generally getting in my way in the workshop. So today when I got them down out of the rafters, I made a little fishing rack with the intentions of keeping them tangle free and ready to go at a moment's notice.

You do have to drill a hole in it someplace anyway, so it might as well make it do something. Then I released the sawblade on the <a href="http://Proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon scroll saw</a> and threaded it through the hole to cut the sides. The <a href="http://Proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon scroll saw </a>can use blades with pins. This makes changing blades or releasing and replacing blade for inside cuts very easy!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">]````````````````````````````````</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIRniqdmDKkcGV3K1sNPlQOpMlxAohojXidRPRinAGxpyLYfzwfCNQnKFKd707Xn-XoaBEX58JcbBuNkmQXF2oKokJL7JnEUmkLqul6bfwwp_o-s320fKgvhlneI-fl3J9Edu0jpxnu2wnBE-7uFHozzu_fOWE8RLn0J_wA6K0i_JA-j_gIhvAC74zuxnk/s5712/IMG_5491.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="5712" data-original-width="4284" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIRniqdmDKkcGV3K1sNPlQOpMlxAohojXidRPRinAGxpyLYfzwfCNQnKFKd707Xn-XoaBEX58JcbBuNkmQXF2oKokJL7JnEUmkLqul6bfwwp_o-s320fKgvhlneI-fl3J9Edu0jpxnu2wnBE-7uFHozzu_fOWE8RLn0J_wA6K0i_JA-j_gIhvAC74zuxnk/s320/IMG_5491.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once we get all our pieces cut and sanded it's time for gluing.

Using the 6table saw I cut a length of trim with excess on both sides. Knowing that this piece had to be flexible, I needed to soak it in water. I wish I had taken a photo, but I forgot. I soaked it in our pool for two hours. Removed it and bent it across the top curve. Using clamps, I held it in place till it dried.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii3Cxeox92HeE9TUbvMc2EycyG5YnEDvZtWZr41-cLB4Z9xmtYVtmv8tklXNNDaF8vhj3jwutGtMxjdzBOeHIZvQ1ESxlDszu07aYthvyPtLtggk8rqA8dYGe8xNrP3p-fPXdl80KOAqQ0IkapDqmb3DL2TdGrBvJ76ExM8bIY__AyrEIorg9NA75YADA/s640/IMG_6938.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii3Cxeox92HeE9TUbvMc2EycyG5YnEDvZtWZr41-cLB4Z9xmtYVtmv8tklXNNDaF8vhj3jwutGtMxjdzBOeHIZvQ1ESxlDszu07aYthvyPtLtggk8rqA8dYGe8xNrP3p-fPXdl80KOAqQ0IkapDqmb3DL2TdGrBvJ76ExM8bIY__AyrEIorg9NA75YADA/s320/IMG_6938.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWai0uCcyHTA3d3fgIahJod4wvkdeP-lBi1PZ1XhDCRJDnguHGdnOK4-n3G4QyhOrbUyUfs456KZbTbrsS_dFOkwtXbCLrWYylqMQeCevUPHS0Cjy-ybV6u8S7T7_SbWMLrgE6UFA6Fo4jjiddy8-hm0DXuWIeOJN49JheeDN-W2ZNE-rXzSVIIntCAo4/s640/IMG_6947.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWai0uCcyHTA3d3fgIahJod4wvkdeP-lBi1PZ1XhDCRJDnguHGdnOK4-n3G4QyhOrbUyUfs456KZbTbrsS_dFOkwtXbCLrWYylqMQeCevUPHS0Cjy-ybV6u8S7T7_SbWMLrgE6UFA6Fo4jjiddy8-hm0DXuWIeOJN49JheeDN-W2ZNE-rXzSVIIntCAo4/s320/IMG_6947.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqyd1HmSwM2Ah-zsxrL0swOcFa4sY7reUCxtiM7Na7RNwkmAOJAzlsZmZzH3LMHLE9-sU-jaq-a0e2DIyHfni33jdQQTQgYD8CVKvh5WOr19n35amy_6WB1xVbkOvaC8BkVgDrXq9YV03jfhPJ2wReks81gqduvhFTP5pGzpwugRJpKLWESjaOvXTt6sI/s640/IMG_6949.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqyd1HmSwM2Ah-zsxrL0swOcFa4sY7reUCxtiM7Na7RNwkmAOJAzlsZmZzH3LMHLE9-sU-jaq-a0e2DIyHfni33jdQQTQgYD8CVKvh5WOr19n35amy_6WB1xVbkOvaC8BkVgDrXq9YV03jfhPJ2wReks81gqduvhFTP5pGzpwugRJpKLWESjaOvXTt6sI/s320/IMG_6949.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Once it was dry, I removed it. I cut it to size with a tiny bit extra. I then glued it and re-clamped it. Next came the sides. I held a piece of trim up to figure the angle I needed to cut it. I wanted that piece to slide up under the top trim. I marked it and cut the angle with the band saw. Checked for length and trimmed using the table saw. I applied glue and attached the side. I repeated for the other side.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtcyghpALDa523EjUp75BpQsYZhplpBOAuk9i3hyphenhyphenr4e16bKPJLhe6bYp4nR6jVy1f0_EtkHWxkw9kdddyMRiG5dzRFTLV6ebw58fYTv9-BeM1912ZjEOKTqy117QlExLlJklMdY_rrfgPcxbUGM83d0x-0lTFnmZq_t5ZmW2OU3GvA2QeBFTlGaRgaKgE/s640/IMG_6954.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtcyghpALDa523EjUp75BpQsYZhplpBOAuk9i3hyphenhyphenr4e16bKPJLhe6bYp4nR6jVy1f0_EtkHWxkw9kdddyMRiG5dzRFTLV6ebw58fYTv9-BeM1912ZjEOKTqy117QlExLlJklMdY_rrfgPcxbUGM83d0x-0lTFnmZq_t5ZmW2OU3GvA2QeBFTlGaRgaKgE/s320/IMG_6954.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNCar7QLJVhXY3Yw6fmUB2c7gQrddtKvKw9dMq-F4FNw6pvnnKUhdHDNKuuGjhqUkuCwTRKYmV7pRqQ9QTrrQ9-zLsrVIZ_Zx461XAw010avlnww4A3d5ajTsZ6upyXGTZH_R2r14pVjkowzqGwOucbVBWIZUAKVnHsO6s0D755q0-h7ry8AGRtPX4hKU/s640/IMG_6956.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNCar7QLJVhXY3Yw6fmUB2c7gQrddtKvKw9dMq-F4FNw6pvnnKUhdHDNKuuGjhqUkuCwTRKYmV7pRqQ9QTrrQ9-zLsrVIZ_Zx461XAw010avlnww4A3d5ajTsZ6upyXGTZH_R2r14pVjkowzqGwOucbVBWIZUAKVnHsO6s0D755q0-h7ry8AGRtPX4hKU/s320/IMG_6956.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgktptR2GLssyilv8NFxng942LBYdmZGWvMiLC6w6kZ_SAAFXA1clC3Sa4YP85JsU1Y8RBnTSb9U2peyEMNlhjwICX2otrxyP7JurirAKcVPusPGOHGTtZ1J8R9hWZp0rJB8oO11oRxnxRJIBX6cNxjP4TQNE74ds0vKZNs0iw65hvxHjxmYtR6ovO7ZWM/s640/IMG_6957.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgktptR2GLssyilv8NFxng942LBYdmZGWvMiLC6w6kZ_SAAFXA1clC3Sa4YP85JsU1Y8RBnTSb9U2peyEMNlhjwICX2otrxyP7JurirAKcVPusPGOHGTtZ1J8R9hWZp0rJB8oO11oRxnxRJIBX6cNxjP4TQNE74ds0vKZNs0iw65hvxHjxmYtR6ovO7ZWM/s320/IMG_6957.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDlaK2ayZW0k8XWEV3igAkGCWxudN5vwi0tdFkgcECINwQKp3BktnwCzSDqadOzM10bykx5RuoKDYWdBNygJ017nIXtLNyF6FZr2NeXtR8CQUEsC91icoJMdStlF0LCk4oAkqgM9uepoX9jwimFVtUq6HDUyKeTETPeDDEO9dPgv4mR27yzaIPR3viiS8/s640/IMG_6961.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDlaK2ayZW0k8XWEV3igAkGCWxudN5vwi0tdFkgcECINwQKp3BktnwCzSDqadOzM10bykx5RuoKDYWdBNygJ017nIXtLNyF6FZr2NeXtR8CQUEsC91icoJMdStlF0LCk4oAkqgM9uepoX9jwimFVtUq6HDUyKeTETPeDDEO9dPgv4mR27yzaIPR3viiS8/s320/IMG_6961.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjieU_5AMCPCPCWR0ntxnOIrHSb4wIt_Fr0lbO13_eFtelnqPvU9SukuDsNFWnNWhxwtET033CtKKMEy1K6__mdbACtgpsowfc9n73icatperkzGk2wpLDgbHiXvqGIxYuWmlw71a5sod0FQlvUWNciN1GoFEzn6-HEwBE041ujuYSnHi9JfL6ZQ6eyrJI/s640/IMG_6962.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjieU_5AMCPCPCWR0ntxnOIrHSb4wIt_Fr0lbO13_eFtelnqPvU9SukuDsNFWnNWhxwtET033CtKKMEy1K6__mdbACtgpsowfc9n73icatperkzGk2wpLDgbHiXvqGIxYuWmlw71a5sod0FQlvUWNciN1GoFEzn6-HEwBE041ujuYSnHi9JfL6ZQ6eyrJI/s320/IMG_6962.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I measured and cut the bottom trim.

Time for another new project. I'm thinking spring. Why dont we make a simple little birdfeede that will keep them coming back. I love to watch the birds, dont you? what I found appealing in this project was that every piece was scraps.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjq7tQV-Das5gHa1CKX4o4wNKwZ8odHOC1SJM8XJTV0Z0E-MzZhTpe-KxObn4nTIOmHa9u3ZscsDZWWJ0xLPTf_Mr9TpFiM6VMKAtl1V33RbPy-4ET0SnTvmquItdQfghs3011aG2x_cnVL0CLUBnXK98dRsahnsreoLbFQcEoyvhSHPJBxsjKkTQlqHsiy" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="548" data-original-width="365" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjq7tQV-Das5gHa1CKX4o4wNKwZ8odHOC1SJM8XJTV0Z0E-MzZhTpe-KxObn4nTIOmHa9u3ZscsDZWWJ0xLPTf_Mr9TpFiM6VMKAtl1V33RbPy-4ET0SnTvmquItdQfghs3011aG2x_cnVL0CLUBnXK98dRsahnsreoLbFQcEoyvhSHPJBxsjKkTQlqHsiy" width="160" /></a></div><br /><br /><p></p><p>Let's get started. Keep in mind this will be made with your scraps so your measurements might be different than mine. But I will give you mine as an example.</p><p>I found 2 square pieces of 3/4" pine measuring 7.5 x 7.5 This will do for our roof and the middle piece.</p><p>My little feeder boxes are 3.5 x 4 x 1.5" I will cut my scraps to size on my <a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon mini table saw</a>.</p><p>Additionally, I will need 4 small cup hooks and about a dozen small nails, and some leather lacing. .I will use my <a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon cordless rotarty tool </a>a small drill bit and my <a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon OZI/E delta sander </a>and, of course, paints by <a href="http://plaidonline.com" target="_blank">Plaid</a>. </p><p>Ok, so I made a line diagonally across the board I am going to use as my roof, Then I laid a line of glue down and placed my second board vertically on it and let it dry. I reinforced it later with some small nails </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfivzuyBIXLeivaxVUSf7XhUcs1cKrqGd6zUvyCWnSoxtG2AQ_NMbJJ6YbTaqcblMqUsT4fsk-kCZ9piz51xEzhhhzSGdX-364Jm14dS5ovO1TVLpLJpHrhDp117bWz3KYhFZSho05nKJoxde6zrxpnafnr7JZjODr-4kxoba34d_IVeABDduxgBSD3RJZ/s4032/IMG_5096.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfivzuyBIXLeivaxVUSf7XhUcs1cKrqGd6zUvyCWnSoxtG2AQ_NMbJJ6YbTaqcblMqUsT4fsk-kCZ9piz51xEzhhhzSGdX-364Jm14dS5ovO1TVLpLJpHrhDp117bWz3KYhFZSho05nKJoxde6zrxpnafnr7JZjODr-4kxoba34d_IVeABDduxgBSD3RJZ/s320/IMG_5096.JPG" width="240" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSK-GHWSf5YYiqfoydmj_yA_mWFRfpYO1GE0-tjmXgCX031FN6jpvsqtbVhSBsezDeBYfwGmpXyyt1SlqwGrVdluVAq6KWjZKeMRlVO40WAWUgFqsmxbcoSKl5MQF3udVOdaGje_j8W-r0KgvKUF64J-j68bRxNR8qDLbOTHzxIHW1NruPSO4k4loQ4Kjx/s4032/IMG_5097.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSK-GHWSf5YYiqfoydmj_yA_mWFRfpYO1GE0-tjmXgCX031FN6jpvsqtbVhSBsezDeBYfwGmpXyyt1SlqwGrVdluVAq6KWjZKeMRlVO40WAWUgFqsmxbcoSKl5MQF3udVOdaGje_j8W-r0KgvKUF64J-j68bRxNR8qDLbOTHzxIHW1NruPSO4k4loQ4Kjx/s320/IMG_5097.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><p>Setting that aside I moved on to make my small feeder trays.

My bottom pieces measured 4" square I cut them on my <a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon mini table saw</a> then glued them together to form the two feeder trays. ( In the picture below the hammer is just a weight while the glue dries the bottom to the sides) When the glue dried, I reinforced all the junctions with small nails after drilling my pilot holes with my<a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank"> Proxxon cordless rotary tool.</a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNIJYwP0ezwxhctdagQqQrciAzxSn_Ar3XANZxSIhFMHTBQb5H9Vys8ztlTzTwxHoshj0u_Qz4F5dFjchoWp5JSCXOSKrL2f9ZqrIbRYDrmPPGPfPidgSsXisc_74ESOKDtIl9uQWHgLe2kBDbxFg5iRpy6FkvZxBnO3wPGf7zCRyu5mj6IUosVFxZBAK/s172/delta%20sander%20in%20hand.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="97" data-original-width="172" height="97" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiNIJYwP0ezwxhctdagQqQrciAzxSn_Ar3XANZxSIhFMHTBQb5H9Vys8ztlTzTwxHoshj0u_Qz4F5dFjchoWp5JSCXOSKrL2f9ZqrIbRYDrmPPGPfPidgSsXisc_74ESOKDtIl9uQWHgLe2kBDbxFg5iRpy6FkvZxBnO3wPGf7zCRyu5mj6IUosVFxZBAK/s1600/delta%20sander%20in%20hand.png" width="172" /></a></div><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcO4-IdvbrUMJ3dhvwPRAktICVdY3-Gr0qVI0O2Rs4MidNKaIBpwkT0U4HMaXUrv-s7flQBnY4GdRTHmeazvPXdEX1Lb77nOy_DHgCJ9ZMYiNWSlBIeBLshN3TpSprVfqKbwGvsIHb9788IuQMCLXLdTH7Eqt4H2-x5gd2uUJ4_uXo8R6VCGEnxIKqI1g/s4032/IMG_5093.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="27" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpcO4-IdvbrUMJ3dhvwPRAktICVdY3-Gr0qVI0O2Rs4MidNKaIBpwkT0U4HMaXUrv-s7flQBnY4GdRTHmeazvPXdEX1Lb77nOy_DHgCJ9ZMYiNWSlBIeBLshN3TpSprVfqKbwGvsIHb9788IuQMCLXLdTH7Eqt4H2-x5gd2uUJ4_uXo8R6VCGEnxIKqI1g/w20-h27/IMG_5093.JPG" width="20" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvWcVwxP6YQX42h5HETQ-QkL_4XHPwtNGvOn2WLBWkBKg9TOjnfMR9su6wLF8uXX51mURZzA8Sox9wLvInr713LZs3scvdZYvnOhD0kT3rPST89FeMX3nOS4n6gsQIwJ_hEk19Q62G5lHLSmUb9Hb9aLzWB2hKDb-NBbyBJ-re1DSzmrNm_zDZZPlACZ2e/s4032/IMG_5090.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvWcVwxP6YQX42h5HETQ-QkL_4XHPwtNGvOn2WLBWkBKg9TOjnfMR9su6wLF8uXX51mURZzA8Sox9wLvInr713LZs3scvdZYvnOhD0kT3rPST89FeMX3nOS4n6gsQIwJ_hEk19Q62G5lHLSmUb9Hb9aLzWB2hKDb-NBbyBJ-re1DSzmrNm_zDZZPlACZ2e/s320/IMG_5090.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p>Now I have 2 little trays.

Today I'm starting kind of a lengthy project. I'm designing and building a nautical trade sign to hang on the wall. I'm splitting it in 3 parts because each element is a project in itself. The first is cutting and carving this whale. The second will be a ship and the third will be a wood sign with carved elements to mount parts one and two on. Follow along with me.

I struggled a little bit this month trying to come up with a project that I thought you might enjoy. This is another hopefully useful item that is easy to make and doesn't take a lot of time or resources. Are you ready? drumroll please....... We are going to make a small shoe rack that can sit by your door so shoes dont collect all over the house. </p><br /><p>I used some reclaimed poplar plywood, and some left over hollow metal tubes to make this project. If you don't have the tubes, dowels would work just as well. Add little paint, a few small screws and you have everything you need. Oh, I also used the <a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon mini table saw</a>,the <a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon mini bandsaw,</a> the <a href="http://proxxon.com" target="_blank">Proxxon cordless rotary drill</a> and a screwdriver.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI1xhE3rqZkFgeaO6MQbEWPFuUocyOOe9KweNIpmXKwJxFQUeo8y5kZZrk5GBrDizGLH3NDwx5434ENVykh1uO2Ax-9hvUmce-5BPIYiF-58IfU19hHuYroVTOB6jw2AYaWkymBKkpatetCSOrXlCqGtzlCj63m15Q5I6qOZs83CaKKvo0hBeF6cTn5Z6J/s1500/Brown%20Minimalist%20Visit%20Our%20Website%20Announcement%20Pinterest%20Pin%20(1).jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1500" data-original-width="1000" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI1xhE3rqZkFgeaO6MQbEWPFuUocyOOe9KweNIpmXKwJxFQUeo8y5kZZrk5GBrDizGLH3NDwx5434ENVykh1uO2Ax-9hvUmce-5BPIYiF-58IfU19hHuYroVTOB6jw2AYaWkymBKkpatetCSOrXlCqGtzlCj63m15Q5I6qOZs83CaKKvo0hBeF6cTn5Z6J/s320/Brown%20Minimalist%20Visit%20Our%20Website%20Announcement%20Pinterest%20Pin%20(1).jpg" width="213" /></a></div>Let's get started.
