Chip Carving
Napkin Holder for Carole My third napkin holder was carved
for my sister, Carole. I carved her name
on one side, and a rosette
on the opposite side.

Chip Carving
Lap Desk Many chip carvers place their work on their laps
while they carve. Since I have trouble leaning over for extended
periods of time to see the small details, I made a lap desk
to raise the work toward me. I placed openings in the top to
catch the chips, and a ledge on each side to hold tools. My
construction plans are presented here.

Most versions of "Greensleeves"/"What
Child Is This?" arranged for banjo have an eighth-note bluegrass
feeling. I was looking for a more traditional-sounding, peaceful
version, but could not find one. What to do? Get out a pencil,
some staff paper, and make my own. Print off this arrangement of Greensleeves
and strum away. I hope that you like it!

Volt/Ohm meters are fairly common. But
what if you need to measure an inductor or capacitor? M Cubed
Electronix sells a quality Inductance-Capacitance-Resistance
tester kit. It is extremely accurate, and lots of fun to
put together.

Morse Code anyone? The Begali Sculpture
Morse Code Key is extremely
