Key Box
Introduction
A little while ago, my son’s girlfriend asked me if I could make a key box that she saw. I picked up enough supplies to make 2 boxes last week and finished the project today. (Actually, the hinges were sold in packs of 4, the catches in packs of 2, and the Plexiglas in 32″x30″ sheets. Also, I wasn’t going to pay $7 for 4 feet of clear pine when I could cut the pieces from a piece of 10″ knotty pine and have a lot left over.)

Background
I was in my woodworking shop the other day and I noticed the plane that I had been using for years. When it came to me from my father it had a cracked handled, but after 30 years it still does the job.

Wooden Boxes from an Old Fence
Introduction
Last year when my fence blew down, leaving me with many good wide boards that I wanted to use in projects rather than just cut them up for firewood. At the time, I was in need of sturdy boxes, so I decided to make some wooden boxes. Continue reading

Magnetic Spoon Rack
Introduction
My wife got a set of measuring spoons last year and wanted to display them on the fridge with magnets. However, the magnets were very small, about 1/8th of an inch. With 4 cats running around the house, we could not risk them eating a magnet. The solution was to make this little wooden rack to hold the magnets.
