Timbo Report post Posted December 19, 2007 So this weekend I decided I needed to make a tool holder just to hold the tools I would be using for what I am working on at that moment. I'm also a notorious scavenger. Several years back on a camping trip, we bought some firewood for our campfire. Well some of it was seasoned red cedar. Now it does make a great campfire, but....it's too pretty to burn and smells great. So I hid a few pieces of it so it didn't all get burned up. So I had this chunk of red cedar and I'm looking at it and the bulb goes off. So I head over to my Dads house (where all the woodworking tools are) and after a little while with the bandsaw, the jointer, the sander and the drill press....... I'm done. Thanks to this forum for the idea too!!!!! Here's what I wound up with. Let me know what you think.......plus I made an extra one. Tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Roger Report post Posted December 19, 2007 i like it! simple and raw.. a light sand and some varnish would really bring out the color in the wood Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timbo Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Varnish would bring out the color, but it would also hide the smell that I like so much. Might just try a little tung oil on it. tim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pete Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Timbo- that looks really nice! Reminds me of the pacific ocean driftwood tht I grew up with in No. California. Put a piece of cotton or foam rubber in the hole for the swivel knife so as to protect the blade. pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidemechanic Report post Posted December 19, 2007 Funny, I live in a grove of junipers and I didn't think of that. Good looking idea. Had a couple wind storns past couple months that blew a few down. Maybe I'll start a new sideline,harhar Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
