Creating a Stropping Wheel
By Curtis Turner Round Rock, Texas This is an extremely easy project! A stropping wheel will be useful for touching up knives as well as turning tools. You will need a faceplate, a small piece of MDF, and a small strip of leather (an old belt will work). It is well worth the time and materials to create a stropping wheel.

Duluth, GA When Christmas rolls around, as it seems to do every year, I begin to think of what I want to turn to give out as small Christmas gifts. Last year and this year, I have settled on making three different types of Christmas tree ornaments. They must be small and light enough so that they don’t drag the tree branch down to the floor. Since I want to make several dozen, not just one or two, they also must be fairly easy to make, not requiring much time per ornament. And, of course, they must look great when they’re done!
