Lap Tray

Lap Top tray... there are many out there.  I know, a tray is a tray right.?  Well I haven't seen any personalized ones yet.  I started with the natural finish Birch tray (that my mom now has) then moved to the custom ones.  I made all of the trays as Christmas presents for my family last year (I would rather make something than buy something).  Yes they are ECU fans/alumni, if you couldn't guess.  I have no idea what has happened to the trays in the past year but I hope they are being used.


G-Stand

This is a little piece that I made a while back.  I needed a guitar stand but didn't want the typical stand that everyone has, so this is what I came up with.  I made the white one for me and then the camo one for my brother.  This was also the first piece I made using bent laminated material.  It took a while to come up with the jig, not ideal but it works.  If anyone out there plays guitar, drop me a line and you can have you own one-of-a-kind stand to make all of your pickn' and grinn' friends jealous!

Triumph TR3

OK I know this is a little bit different than our normal posts but I can't wait to get started on this project!  So Pops (aka granddad Biesecker) comes home last weekend with this... its an early 60s Triumph TR3 (you should Google a restored one. WOW what a cool car!) So he says, "Looks like I got about 16 years to get this together huh." You guessed it... for Ryles! What I would have done if this was my 16th birthday present... (restored obviously) I can't even believe that he is thinking of that.  Ryles isn't even out yet! Wow thanks dad-B!
O yeah did I mention that he got 2 of them! And one only has 32,000 miles on it!
Who finds stuff like this any more...?

Pop Changer


Pop Changer update!  We have been working hard on this piece seeing that Ryles will be here in less than 4 weeks...!  A few last details have been added to the poplar box with the pulls.  Left handed friendly!  I feel that the stain is looking good on this larger scale and the milk paint will be started this week.  Also we added a polycarbonate insert to the top tray (images to come later), for added 'leakage' resistance.
