To all our fine members here on Tropical Fish Forums...Merry Christmas

Some gifts I made for the family

This is a bow knife. Typically used for cutting bread. I made this one out of mahogany. I slit my finger open while oiling it.

I made about 9 of these trivets out of mahogany and cherry.

These are oven squirrels. Used for pulling trays out of a an oven.

The one on the right is white oak and the one on the left is red oak and mahogany. First time laminating two type of wood together. Pretty happy with the result.

@connorlindeman
what kind of wood working tools do you use....do you have a band saw?

 

[connorlindeman]

No band saw. I would like to get one someday. Would really make it all much faster. I use a coping saw for the shapes.
Like this:

For the bread knife I was able to use a jigsaw.
I have a table saw, miter saw, router, and lots of hand tools. Planer and jointer as well.

Well, Santa once again failed to come through with the new Ford Bronco, but what the heck! MERRY CHRISTMAS to all my TFF buddies. May your day be blessed and your upcoming year be all you hope.
From me, my fish, a very fancy Douglas fir tree, and a dead antelope.

I gave my sister a hack saw so she can cut my head off. If you see me headless ignore me and look for the head to chat with.

We’ll keep an eye out for you.

Is this Christmas or Halloween?

Is this Christmas or Halloween?

Depends on if you nail the head to a cross.

Boxing day, and I am neither decapitated nor decaffeinated, which to me might be very similar.
