Robby, that box is beyond anything I have seen in beauty and artistry.

Folding tables and slat back camp chairs are another option for the table saw. Shooting boxes , camp kitchens, loading stands for pistols, and the list just goes on. :idunno:
Thank you Bill.

if ya have enough how about a chess board, its well within HC n PC parameters, turn the men out of small pieces, maybe do a little carveing to fancy them up, make a nice two colored board to play on n maybe even have it where you can keep the men inside the board, or checkers,backgammon, tic tac toe boards, games are a great way to use up all sorts of small pieces and practice your skills at the same time, something else most never think of from small stuff is all different sizes of buttons, who isn't always looking for a button for something or other even to put on bags n such, real handy to have extra of n great to toss to friends if ya have some with real nice grain showing

Thank You,
I would not purchase a lathe unless you really have to much time on your hands, it will consume you.

Wooden bowls for your camp. Yep I know they are cheap to buy. But there is something about making them yourself.
Not sure what is around where you live. Here in central PA we have several small plants that make furniture, skids, industrial packing crates etc.
Make the rounds and see what scraps they don't utilize. I get some figured maple scraps from a high end furniture factory, and "chunks" of hardwood from a skid factory. A buddy gets nice short poplar planks for me from his plant and about once a year I go to visit a guy that owns a casket company. They mill their own boards from rough sawn planks and I get gorgeous mahogany, oak and walnut cut offs. I mean 1 inch thick and usually 14 to 18 inches by a foot or so.
Add to that the cherry, sassafras, etc that I cut on my own property. I swap logs for a portion back in sawn planks.
Keep an eye out for some of the colorful woods. Damson has some really great color and is hard to find in usable size. But a piece of a branch I used to make a primer horn plug had different colored rings and looked like an eye.
