Cat Planter

I made this Cat Planter for my mom and dad for Christmas this year. It could also be used for a magazine rack. The head and tail are both on springs and move up and down. I used the Kreg Jig to put it together.

Lorrie don't forget too give the dog a bone ,when you make him .

Thanks Claude.  I haven't started working on the dog yet but I did make a paper cutout of what I want it to look like.  Now I just need to transfer it to the wood and start cutting it out.  I haven't had much time to spend on it and I hope to start on it soon.  I will post as soon as I get it done.  thanks so much for the nice comments!  :)

Great idea and design Lorrie, cool details on the feet and springs. She looks adorable with those colors and eyes. It's a unique and beautiful gift to your parents, I'm sure they love it. Great job and looking forward to the dog planter.

Thanks Leslee.  I was going for a whimsical look.  I thought the feet were cute and would set it apart from anything I have seen.  It was harder than I thought in my head. LOL  I did have fun creating it and making it come to life.  I was going for a cartoon look.  I'm happy that you like it.  :) Now that it is finished, I miss seeing it in the garage! LOL  I will have to make one for me now. :) I will try to make a dog next.  Thanks for the nice comments. :)

 Lorrie,

 I like your cat planter. It looks really cute. I think the paws are a nice touch they remind me of Slvester the cat on Looney Tunes. I'm sorry to hear you are sick, Lorrie. I hope you will feel better soon. It has been cold here where I'm at.

Hi Mick,

Happy New Year!  Yes, it was a lot of work for me.  That's because I am still pretty new to these things.  I learned a lot and made it up as I was going.  Glad you liked it.  I have a paper pattern now so the next one should go better.  I'm sick now but hope to get back out in the shop when I am feeling better.  Thanks for the nice comments!  Have a great day! :)

Free Hand Guard (dust collection)

Hi.  I'm wondering if anyone has used the Woodpecker Free Hand Guard for dust collection on their bench top router table during pattern routing.  How effective is it?  It's adaptable to any router table.  Continue

New Kreg 720Pro

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.

I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.

First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
