Mastering Woodworking with Charles Neil - Nice Price

I've blogged about Charles Neil's "Mastering Woodworking" class in the past. Well worth it even if you have zero inclination to make the particular projects as he shows a bunch of great tricks to make things easier and safer. Add to that showing you a hundred ways to do accomplish the same thing with a variety of common tools and you have a winner.

He's having a special right now until November 30th where you can sign up for half price. For about $15 a month, you'll get 3+ hours of great stuff. The sign up is on his usual storefront; no coupons, special links, or secret handshakes necessary. If you get on now, you'll get access to the current series on tables and the forthcoming episodes to make boxes like these:

The upcoming grandfather's clock has my intrigue. Always loved those.

Some Projects

Angle Madness! a diamond-shaped entertainment center.
Tim Burton Table a five-legged demilune that would fit naturally in a Tim Burton film.
Sculpted Mahogany Vanity a wall-mounted vanity with a granite top.
The After-Earthquake Detector a fun project with the Bridge City JMPv2; this is John Economaki's project we built as a WIA'11 demo.
A small card box was a project Charles Neil created and I needed a Christmas present :) This was the first project in the No Comment format.
Quilted Maple Picture Frame was a project for my best friend for a massive painting he got on his honeymoon.
Floating-Top Figured Eucalyptus end table was a quick one-day build; the finish took longer, naturally :)
French-knot Walnut Inlay in Cork Floor was making the landing for my stairs; super easy.
Jewelry box inserts was mostly a project to show using the Bridge City JMPv2 and HP-6v2 plane; add gilding and it's more fun.
