Mt Phillip Metal Works

The Dragon Twist,. If the name doesn’t get you inspired, the finished project sure will. This blacksmithing technique is forged in fire and can add a new dept as an accent to a project or as it’s own stand-alone art piece.

Shaun Hughes Hand Engraving

I’m not advocating for defacing US currency, but if I were a pirate, this is how I imagine all my gold deblumes would look after all that time sailing around the ocean with little else to do.

Every once in a while I come across creative ways to use the scraps we generally turn into kindling or just throw away, and this creative card from wood shavings is nothing short of creative. It’s amazing what you can come up with when funds are tight and you still want to show someone you care.

Stereokroma

As woodworkers, it’s almost inevitable that at some point we will use the maple tree as a medium for our projects. However, the sweet syrup that is cultivated from these beautiful trees before we get the corpses cannot be overlooked. Take a peek inside Garland Sugar Shack’s Maple Production Farm and see how that sweet treasure is made.
