I got my brother a kalimba last year and a kaleidoscope this year. I thought they were quite good. I'm totally out of ideas for next year.

It's walnut and cherry for the body, oak eyes and walnut pupils...

Glued it up with Titebond3 glue, drew a program on the computer for a CNC router, recessed holes for the eyes using a . 250 inside offset with a half inch cutter. Did the opposite for the eyes (.250 outside offset). Glued the eyes, hammered them in and used the same cutter to drill holes in the eyes and then inserted 1/2 inch walnut dowels for the pupils, sanded them smooth, sanded everything smooth, finished with mineral oil to protect it...

Shit... With access to a lathe you have a ton of possibilities...

You can actually make more with that than you can with a router. (including cutting boards if you're feeling saucy).
Use 1" cubes or something, glue em together all baller - like,  make a big dumbass beautiful bowl or something.Plate, cutting board, bat, shit... Almost anything with symmetry.

how did you get the pieces of wood like that? buy them locally? or did you cut them into strips yourself?

They come in long boards (at work) and then are cut to length and then in to the strip you see on a rip saw (remember my baller machinery comment?)
I'm working on a few more now... Will post pics for you tonight....

OP, you could take her grandmother's ashes, send it to Europe, pay 28k and have the ashes made into a diamond that you put on a ring.

Mixed reactions are to be expected.

Most likely gonna end up in an awkward blowjob.

Thanks..
They're all gifts though... I don't even have one.

Maybe I should get a member here to digitally draw me a line drawing mushroom to make the pattern...

wait, so you were kidding about the ballin machinery? a rip saw is just a regular saw pretty much from what i saw. either way, sounds like you have put some serious effort into these and they look fantastic! mad props. might make one sometime next week myself

No, I wasn't kidding
Straight line rip saw

Thanks so much for the kind words. It means a lot...
Fuck yeah, bud... Go make one and show me. I'd love to see it!

If you have access to a bandsaw you can open a whole new area of ideas... Shapes :smile:

Just gonna be that guy and throw this out there... http://www.amazon.com/Passion-Natural-Water-Based-Lubricant-Gallon/dp/B005MR3IVO




but seriously. Books....but then I fucking love reading so my opinion may be a bit biased...

"I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

Every decent piece I've ever made has been posted in this thread, so this type of work at least is fairly new to me as of this week...
I have a background in woodworking, but nothing like that.

But anyhow, I've come to notice I really enjoy making things as presents.
The blanket was just fleece cost and scissors, then tie it all together...
The card I improvised.

I just need shit to keep my mind occupied otherwise I stress dumb shit, so I find all this therapeutic, hence why I bumped the thread... Hoping to reach people before Christmas so they may be inspired to make their own cheap gifts and shit...
