The Knife block

This was a project I think came out really well. Taking some old wood that wasn’t going to be used, I created a knife block to hold knives that had been loose in my kitchen:

There were quite a bit of issues I encountered with this project, mostly when the entire thing decided to split in half while the wood glue was drying. That was unfortunate to say the least. You can read more about it here.

The coaster

My final project is a cupholder/coaster that can hold cups of varying dimensions. It uses a spring mechanism to control the cup’s position and keep it aligned. You can read more about it here and here.

Another thing that I would like to point out is an extra project that I’m working on in this class and also for myself. It’s a website that I’m learning to code. I’m in the process of moving everything over from my old one, so it’s going to change quite a bit as I get everything updated. Feel free to take a look at it here.
