THE WOOD WHISPERER IS PROUDLY SPONSORED BY:
Germain has submitted a beautiful shadow box for our viewing pleasure, let’s check it out: I finally finished the shadow box I’ve been working on for many weeks. I want to thank Marc for all the inspiration and assistance he provided on this project. This alone was worth my TWW Guild me...

er and a couple of smaller grills. My major equipment list won’t impress many, but it works well for me so I guess that’s all that counts. The folks who can build fine furniture with a circular saw and a cutting guide without a doubt get TONS of respect from me. My entire shop was/is put...
This is the first of a new short form video series called “Whisper Minis”. The idea is to cover a single topic in a very concise manner. I plan on covering all kinds of tips, tricks, techniques, and we’ll even throw in some product-related stuff now and then. This is just a good w...
This is a box I built for my new baby nephew. He is the first child of my only brother and I wanted to do something special. Before I go into any further details about the box, I want to express my sincere thanks to TWW. I discovered woodworking about 6 months ago and this box is my first real proj...
My sister needed a nice box to put envelopes and gift cards into when she got married but I didn’t want to go through the trouble to make something nice only to have it never seen again once the wedding was over. Instead, I made the box so it’ll also double as a keepsake box that she ca...
As most of you know, last week I took a little “vacation”. Instead of forcing myself to sit on my butt and relax all week (I can’t seem to sit still), I decided to try something different. I wound up working my butt off in the shop, while simply taking a vacation from the website....
Hi Marc. Thanks for posting some beginner projects here – it’s been encouraging to see a wide variety of skill levels on The Wood Whisperer. The Jewelry Box was my wife’s anniversary present this past June. She granted permission to send you a few pictures – but I think she ...
One of the things I feel sets a craftsman apart from a woodworker is the continued attention to higher quality and detail. A very important detail that you should always think about is grain continuity. This is one of those things that the average onlooker has a hard time putting their finger on....
Again?!?! Every time Woodworker’s Safety Week rolls around, I can count on at least a few folks saying, “Haven’t we covered everything already?!” Yeah, I’m talking about you Shannon. Ha! Honestly though, it is a valid question. After all, how many times can we talk abo...
Website: http://watkinsgallery.com I produced this box as a Christmas gift for my mother. A number of years ago I had inherited a few boards of Cuban Mahogany out of my grandfather?s shop. I have memories of asking him about them in my younger years only to be told that he was saving them for somet...
This week’s we are featuring Ken’s Workshop. Let’s check it out as he gives us the grand tour. I thought I would send you some shots of my home shop. I have been a hobbyist woodworker for the past 10 or so years. Not only is my shop a wood shop but it is where I fix all the hou...
