So I managed to make a wooden cell phone holder/stand today.  I busted the blade on my band saw and couldn't get the new one on.  Then I was fiddling with the scroll saw blade and was having an issue with that.  It wasn't a good blade day I have to say.  Every day I have to say patience grasshopper.  I was determined to get one done so I took out good old Jiggy, that is jigsaw, I name my tools.  
I do have to make a few adjustments, like make a groove where the wire goes underneath a the end but other than that ,I am happy with it.  I made it 8 1/2 " high because I have a big phone.  The back piece is 6" so the angle is good.  The second one will be easier.  Of course I like to make my day interesting and do something I have never done so I want to give it that burn look.  So that is tomorrow's test.  

Ha Ha this little tree looks slanted but it's not.  I saw this on Pinterest and thought I would try it.  I will use different wood next time.  Easy enough to make.  I cut this on my new band saw and it does the curves pretty well.  I did, however, break the blade on the band saw.  Apparently you have to break in a new blade, who knew.  All part of learning how to use all my new tools.

I made these trees for my nephew.  They are easy enough but not so interesting for me to make.  I am still getting used to my new tools and its a learning curve.  You get to know what you want to make and what makes you happy.  I have decided to try things on a smaller scale.

Some Gals like diamonds and they are a girl's best friend but I am so excited over my new sander.  This will make my wood projects so much easier.  I have been doing the sanding by hand.  I have graduated!
