These 5 videos were posted on Youtube 5 years ago. Now that you know how simple it is to make a pair of looking glass frames, here is a little more difficult project on how to make a pair reflective sunglasses. Again, while there are quite a few more steps in the process I think…

Making A Pair Of Glasses
We made this video on how I make glass frames back in 2015. Since then it’s received 4,617 views so I guess a lot of carvers found it interesting. Hopefully, they made their own set to add to one or some of their carvings cause this little detail can add a lot of character to…
Having Fun With The Chuckwagon! – 06/27/2015
Here are some photos of a family event we had using our old Chuckwagon. While it always caused a lot of work to set it up, operate out of it, and then take it back down, it was a heck of a lot of fun. We no longer have the old wagon and were sad…
Fence Work 2 – Finished
Yahoo! Finally got this one off the work table. Had so many other projects going in the shop it was hard to get the time needed to complete it. But it’s done and I think it looks great. – In painting the figure I muted most of the colors to give the figure a look…
Fence Work 2 – 06/18/2015

John Wayne Gets Some Color! – 06/03/2015

John Wayne – The Duke
I finished the carving yesterday and made the base this morning. I think he turned out really nice and should make a nice addition to someone’s collection. I made the hat cord out of some twisted wire and then carved the knots at the end. I made the badge out of a piece of…
The Duke – 06/27/2015
Well, it’s been a while but I finally got back to doing something. My Sister visited over the Memorial Day weekend and on her way spent some time up in Winterset, Iowa attending the grand opening of the new John Wayne Museum (http://johnwaynebirthplace.museum/). She brought along a bunch of brochures, etc., that she picked up…
