A week to rest

I always view this week...the one after Christmas...as a very odd week. Many people have the week off from work, and many people who are at work are hardly working. Its the doldrums of the year.
Look at it this way: Christmas is right around the corner. Less that a year away. Might as well get started on woodworking gifts.
Here are some projects that friends and families of viewers enjoyed unwrapping on Christmas morning.

John Hendricks was the chips & dip tray monster this year. Hes kind of lost track how many of these he made this year. Needless to say, these make great gifts.

Bill Wilson is one of the busiest woodworkers I know.  He made this box based on no plans...just winging it and making it up as he went along. That is sometimes a really fun way to spend time in the shop. Let your creativity run.

Plus, he made some beautiful frames and heart-shaped candle holders.

Alan Duke sent over some great signs that he made for his shop. Pretty much sums up my woodworking philosophy: 

Measure once - Cut once- Cut once again for good measure
