Cranberry Scoop Magazine Rack

Since time immemorial the cranberry pickers  have raked the berries from the vines in the cranberry bogs with wooden scoops. These same scoops are still being used for their original purpose today. On top of this, we have found a new use for them-to hold magazines and bring a breath of salt spray and authentic early American atmosphere into our living rooms.

Pine is really the only wood that should be considered for this
piece. All of the original scoops were made of pine. No other
wood will do as well for our purpose. If there are some
sound knots in it, so much the better. The back, sides, front and
bottom are all 1/2" thick; the handle is 3/4". The back member
will probably have to be glued up from two pieces. Make sure
the grain runs vertically to be parallel to the teeth of the rake.

As shown on the drawing, the back member, will have to be
laid out and cut to produce 18 tines. It should be noted on the
drawing that the Click HERE for More Info!

As a result of drying, hammer heads often become loose in the wooden handle of the hammer. One method that has proven successful in tightening the head on a handle is to soak the hammer head and handle in a container of linseed oil.

Here's a little spice shelf that any jigsaw enthusiast can produce in a hurry. As shown in the photograph, the shelf depicts a tiny chef standing in the doorway of his shop, with various spices on display in the windows.

Prepare a full-size pattern for the front piece on a sheet of paper at least 8" x 15" with the aid of 1/2" graph squares. Transfer the outline to a piece of 1/4" plywood measuring the same size as the pattern. The work of cutting this member to shape is done on the jig saw.

In order to remove the sections of stock to produce the outlines of the windows, door and chef, it will be necessary to bore a small hole within each area that is to be pierced. Through these holes the Click HERE for More Info!

This merry-go-round rack was designed for the display of six prized teaspoons or a collection of souvenir spoons. It makes a colorful little ornament for the china closet and can be lifted out bodily when desired to help decorate the tea table.

The holder is made entirely of  1/4" plywood. For the horses, four pieces 2 3/4" wide and 2 1/2" long are required. Draw a full-size pattern on paper with the aid of 1/2" squares, paste it on one piece of the plywood, nail all four to gether in the waste wood and jigsaw them to shape.

The two disks, which are 6" in diameter, can also be cut in one operation. When this has been done, separate them and lay out and cut the notches for the spoons in one of them; also a 1/4," x 2" mortise in the center through which the handle can be clipped.

The central support consists of two pieces 3" wide, one 4" long and the other 6" long. The smaller piece is left rectangular in shape and a notch 1/4" x 2" is cut in the center of one end as indicated. The other piece is jigsawed to the Click HERE for More Info!
