Gomboy Folding Saw Tool Review: Silky Gomboy Saw

By Curtis Turner
Round Rock, Texas


I have been using a Japanese Silky Gomboy Folding Saw for some time. Now, I know this is not a turning tool, however, I think most turners will find this to be a handy tool to have around. I am more of a western saw type of guy so I was a bit skeptical of this saw. I have heard good things about Silky saws, so I bought one to find out how it could help my turning.

Pencil Holder Project Turning Inspiration from a Grand Piano

By Bill Rosener
Tahlequah, OK


Do you know an inspiring artist? Maybe the next Van Gogh or Monet? If so, your artist might be looking for something to hold their drawing instruments (crayons)! A grand piano shaped holder makes an exciting and innovative way for artist to hold crayons, colored pencils, etc. This holder combined with a box of crayons makes a great birthday or Christmas present for those young ones in your life - without a huge investment in time.
