Cut out your own design to build these items. You can print out a design from Google, paste it to a piece of scrap wood, and cut it out on a scroll saw. Make sure to make plenty of relief cuts to prevent the blade from breaking when cutting curves.

The most challenging part of this project is the 45-degree parts. Getting the 45-degree clamps to fit securely can be difficult, as is getting the cut pieces to line up in the clamp with precision. Once together, the inside rabbits might need to be expanded slightly to fit the glass. It can also be tricky to hand-sand the little droplets of glue that seep out and harden in the face profile, or to miter the 45-degree pieces at the beginning.
For the glass, I like to buy the cheapest clip frame at the local craft store, usually an 8-by-10-inch or an 11-by-14-inch. I then chuck the clips and keep the glass.
Picture frames, though seemingly basic, are one of the more challenging scrap projects to tackle. The knots and defects look rustic, and with a photo of Grand Teton elk in the frame, I’ve taken to dubbing this charming project the cowboy picture frame.
Locate an old cabinetry router bit (apply some 3-in-1 oil if rust blooms have sprouted) that will carve out a nice face profile. Rabbit the inside edges for the glass to fit snugly and miter the 45-degree angles. Easy in theory, more difficult when the wood meets the bench.

You need hardwoods to make cutting boards. We do not use hardwoods in this class. Hard woods are expensive and more difficult to work with.

This is one of those, “why didn’t I think of that”, kind of projects. Literally, if you can put three pieces of wood together and cut a hole in it, you can make this wooden sofa sleeve cup holder.
Seriously, why didn’t I think of that…

If your wood is already cut (at your local store or friendly neighbor) all you need is a drill & Rope.
