Ben’s Worx

Ben’s Worx shows off some creativity in the kitchen in this turning video of a coffee bean rolling pin. Although, I would recommend filling and sealing after turning if you make one of these.

ROCK N WOODWORKS

One of the best feelings in the world is when our work inspires others to make something creative. In this video from ROCK N WOODWORKS, he credits his inspiration for this beautiful honey bee to a recent creation by another creative artist. Once again, this just shows why the woodworking community is the greatest community to be a part of.
