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!

The attractive magazine basket shown in the photograph can easily be cut out and assembled by any craftsman owning a jig saw.
The sides will require two pieces of 1/4" plywood 10" x 12". Since these pieces are identical in size and shape, the stock can be fastened together temporarily with 1/2" brads so that both can be shaped at the same time. As shown in the Click HERE for More Info!

Standing a gun in the corner or hiding it away in a closet with the vacuum cleaner is hardly the way for a sportsman to treat the companion of his hunting trips. Guns are very decorative and make a most interesting display in the game room or the den. Aside from the matter of appearance, this rack will secure guns safe from damage by falling. There is no longer danger of the stock being dented or the telescope sight being knocked out of alignment.
The craftsman can, of course, make the rack from any .wood he wishes, but walnut seems to be suited above all others. Walnut is a wood used in gunstocks, and the tree itself is sure to be part of the memory of trips afield. What hunter hasn't stopped under a walnut tree to eat lunch or admire the grouse he shot?
