This Christmas, why not make something new from something old for that certain someone? A little prized scrap wood is all it takes to transform a humdrum plastic handled bottle opener into handcrafted wood handled bottle opener. I found two such bottle openers knocking around my kitchen. The first had a short, narrow tang with holes. For this style I made a koa handle that surrounded the tang and extended beyond the end. The second opener was made from a piece of stamped stainless steel. Woodworking Building Plans, Woodworking Furniture Plans, Woodworking Basics, Wood Projects Plans, Wood Turning Projects

One day, my wife showed me some balsamic vinegar bottles and asked if I could make an attractive display stand for them. We already had two bottles to use, but my mind wanders when it comes to design, and I decided three bottles would create a pleasant balance. I went to my Stickley furniture books looking for inspiration and found the Stickley Footrest #395. That was it!
