My 2022 Woodworking Projects

Projects include 3 picture frames, several Christmas Bell ornaments, a key ring rack, a glue-up center for keeping all of my wood glue handy, and the 2 birdcage awls shown above. The awls were made from scraps of Bradford pear, oak, purpleheart, as well as copper tubing for the ferrules and nails for the pointy bits. See all of my 2022 projects HERE.

My 2021 Woodworking Projects

2021 was not a very productive year for me. Early in the year, I made a lot of spirtles, and little else. A spirtle is a type of spatula, that is long, slightly curved, and occasionally slotted. Above is an example of a large, slotted spirtle made of some exceptionally colored Bradford pear wood. See my 2021 projects HERE. You can check out all of my projects at HayYoo.com.

It’s Been A While

Wow, I haven’t posted here in 6 months. Nothing has been wrong, I simply got bored with blogging, and decided to take a break. I’m still on the break and I don’t know when, or if, I’ll regularly post again.

Just a quick link to my woodworking site HayYoo.com. This week I posted 3 slideshows there, that feature over 30 projects. I finally (I hope!) got the site to work responsively on small screens.

Clever CNC Router Is About To Ship

Goliath CNC is an incredibly versatile CNC router. It crawls around a work surface of practically unlimited size as it routes out your design. However, the $1850 price will keep it out of the hands of most makers. Read more about it on Techcrunch, or visit its KickStarter.

Giant Lion Carved From A Single Tree

According to BoredPanda.com –

A giant wooden sculpture of a roaring lion now stands proudly in a Central Chinese city square, and the journey it took to get there makes it all the more spectacular. The Oriental Lion, as it has been dubbed, was carved from a single redwood tree trunk over the span of 3 years. Established Chinese architect Dengding Rui Yao, reportedly assisted by over 20 people, initiated the project in Myanmar, where the carving was seen through. Finally, when the great beast was finished in December of 2015, it was transported over 3000 miles to reach Wuhan’s Fortune Plaza Times Square. At 47.5 feet long, 16.5 feet high, and 13 feet wide, the Oriental Lion is a force to be reckoned with.
