See what people are making with CarveWright
When I’m working in my shop using my CarveWright, I’ve noticed that I have a set of tools always at hand for easy access. These are things that help me solve normal usage issues. Most of them are obvious, but some may not be, so I’ve put together a top ten list to show you what…
It is that time of year again in Scouts and other groups…time to build your Pinewood Derby cars. The goal is to transform this… into a masterpiece of art and speed! Each year I make three cars (one each for my son and daughter and one for me). Finding the right balance in the time we…

This is part 2 of the Chess Table project. Check out part 1 here, if you haven’t yet. In part one, I covered the design and carving of the chess pieces and the idea stages of the table design. Now, I have the lumber (some really choice curly cherry and flame maple for the chess…
