It's almost Christmas and you know what that means...GIFTS! Not only does this mean receiving gifts, but if you're like me, it's the busiest time of year in the workshop. I'm not one of those people who cut Christmas gifts in September!

This pattern is perhaps the best one we've ever made, and I honestly believe that it is better than many of the purchasable patterns out there. This gumball machine pattern is perfect for a child or even an office desk! I cut mine out of two different woods to dress it up a bit. I used padouk to give it a nice color, and white oak to provide a lighter colored wood. Also, make this pattern your own! I made my lever pretty simple, but there are unlimited possibilities. Cut the person's name in the lever perhaps?

Currently we are working on making a pattern where the gumball will drop out and either spiral around the machine or fall through a series of platforms before landing at the bottom. Please add rings/levels, change the mechanism... whatever you want, and send in your pictures! We love to see the creativity!

I decided to post pictures of the project I made for my Woods Tech class this year. I made a mission style computer desk that closes up into a cabinet. Its about 4' tall and 22" deep. The top cabinet door folds down into the desk part, while 2 drawers can be pulled out. The bottom consist of 3 doors, the left one open, the middle with a shelf in it, and the right one with 2 filing cabinet drawers. The door that folds out into the desk surface is inlaid with formica. Right now I'm working on designing some gumball machine patterns. Also, I'm going to try to work on changing a few pages around and editing them, such as the gallery page and the pattern catalog.
