This is a video of a project intended as gifts for someone. They are mechanical hearts and kind of fall into the Valentine category. I see them as a type of fidget spinner. I made two of them made from walnut and aspen. I like wooden things that have moving parts and this fits the bill.

This video is about making a box from a block of wood. This is a simple procedure just 4 cuts but can be done in 3 depending on how you make the lid. I first glued three 3/4 in pieces of cedar together to make a cube about 2 and 1/4 inch in each direction. Then cut off about 3/16 of what I wanted to be the top and bottom. I then marked the walls of the box on the remaining block at about 3/16 to make a pattern on the top (or bottom) of the block. Drilled it and cut out the center of the block to create the cavity or internal area of the box. I cut 3/16 off of the top of the waste section to glue to the lid. I sanded and checked for alignment of the top and bottom and glued the bottom piece back on and then glued the waste section to the lid. No patterns needed except what you draw and you could eye and free hand those if you wished. It is a simple and fairly crude box but shows one method of making a box. If you cut the lid thick enough then you could attach the top with some small hinges and a latch and pass on cutting the piece for the underside of the lid. #TwinOaksTreasures #twinoaksbox ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X6hmuUjx44

A companion video to the wood burning embellishment video. A link to the first one will be at the end screen. Not as good an outcome as I wanted but will try again with different wood and tools. I think it could be a good technique to enhance the looks of scroll saw fretwork. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVbAIOslvNw
