Finishing my 1.5x48" strip sander build. Focusing on dust collection and containment, tracking adjustment, electrical and painting it. https://woodgears.ca/strip_sander/xl2.html Plans available here: https://woodgears.ca/strip_sander/plans/index.html

Building another strip sander, this one a bit bigger, using 1.5" x 48" belts which I cut off of old 6x48" belts. Powered by an old dishwasher motor. http://woodgears.ca/strip_sander/xl.html Plans available here: https://woodgears.ca/strip_sander/plans/index.html

Carving a wooden pirate sword with a curved cove cut on the table saw, and a bent lamination guard. I'm calling it a pirate sword, but it's been pointed out it looks a lot like a sword from Alladin, also called "scimitar" http://woodgears.ca/sword

Turning some boxes I made years ago into some drawers to go under a table in my workshop.

Wanting to do a shop tour, I decided to do a bit of painting first, and then things got a little out of hand. Two weeks later, I was finally able to film the shop tour. My timelapse and image flipping software is on gitub at: https://github.com/Matthias-Wandel/imgcomp To install it, instlal raspian on a raspberry pi, and from the home directory (/home/pi) type: https://github.com/Matthias-Wandel/imgcomp

I didn't film video of building this table, but I always have the timelapse camera running. Using the video to figure out how long it took when I'm not filming.

Jumping challenges for a wild mouse in my shed. Incredible agility! http://woodgears.ca/farm/circus_mouse.html

A large table, with the legs joined with the apron rails with miters. The joint looks elegant but was tricky to get right. More at http://woodgears.ca/table/mitered.html

It's often useful to be able to mount something sturdily at 45 degrees, mostly for drilling, but also useful for table saw, routing or mortising operations. http://woodgears.ca/drill/45deg.html

Inspired by Pask Makes's video on the knapp joint, I made some templates to make knapp joints on the pantorouter, and built a box. http://woodgears.ca/box/knapp.html Pask makes's video: https://youtu.be/cQyOa6RSIWM More thoughts on knapp joints: https://youtu.be/MlJjsvph3r8

Building a xylophone-like toy for kids. I spent a lot of time on getting the sound right. Makes it tempting to build a Marimba, but I wouldn't be playing it. http://woodgears.ca/m2/xylophone.html

A quick build of an advent candle holder. Made mostly with a bandsaw and belt sander, from scrap lumber. More at: http://woodgears.ca/home/advent.html
