Woodworking Projects for Beadmakers
Any ideas for woodworking projects? I have some nice ash that I'd like to use up, and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about things I could make. I thought of a mandrel rack for drying... any other ideas?
I imagine I'm going to want some sort of organizer for my glass rods. Has anyone ever seen these made of wood? |
What size stock?, Can you resaw? Plane? Save the ash for something nice use a crap 2x4 or 4x4 end for a drying rack
Simple box. 2" deep with 1/2 lap joints on dividers for bead display (little cubbies) dado out front and back for a solid back and a glass front Small display stands, with a piece of brass filler rod to hold up the bead(s) |
tool caddy

marble stands if you woodturn at all, lots of peeps need good marble stands

You don't need a router, you can cut the grove for the glass with a table saw/Radial arm saw before you assemble the pieces
|
Now that is a piece of art. Nice.

You can rabbet the edges of the top of the box for the glass to sit in, if you have a table saw and a dado blade set. Even without the dado set you can do it, you just have to move your fence back a tiny bit after the first cut on all parts to make the cut a little wider. Or, even just one cut right on the edge of each piece would give you a 3mm bearing on all sides for your glass... I'd take it to at least two blade widths though, just to be sure..
