Here is a wonderful diagram for cutting out some classic book ends for your western literature collection. I love these, they remind me of a bygone era of a classic boys room, with these cool bookends on a shelf of the wall. This plan also has a great suggestion for using molten lead for added weight of the bookends.
Note the piano wire that is used for the lasso, it appears that as the cowboy draws the lasso tight, the bookends are also being drawn in to tighten upon the books!

This is a wonderful example of Danish work at its core, what a great crafts project to undertake, and it will sure to be the center piece of any table setting or this would also make a wonderful coffee table accessories. I love Danish, the simplicity, the folk art that surrounds it, and this looks like it would be a pretty simple project to turn out and carve out in a day. Hope you enjoy!

This is a nice little quick project, with a timeless design that still holds today, modernism is seen in these simple candle holders, very cool indeed.

This scan has a wonderful grand father clock schematic and text instructions. These old Workbench Magazine's were fairly light on the detail, but with some prior knowledge and experience you can use this plan as a great jumping off point to build a grandfather clock. There is also a nice little Picture Frame Clock plan included with this scanning. Only the two clocks are included in this scanning, not the entire magazine.
Enjoy!

Here is an old Pistol Crossbow pattern that I found a long time ago, I hope that this can make the cut.
