Guessing we all have enough "extra pieces" (also known as scrap wood) that need to be used rather than tossed. Interested to see what type of projects everyone has.
I'll start with my business cards. Only limited by one's imagination. 😉
I call these wine pour holders. 2 1/2" square for the small one, 2 1/2 high about 7-8" long. The top and bottom is press fit with a little glue. The stem on the wine pour is less than 1/8" in dia. I just drill a hole 1/8" in the center. I use a miter sled to wrap the grain. WOP finish. I made about 1 dz of the small ones and finish them off If i need a gift. BB1 there is real cool material in my cut off bins!
My wife is a fan of "cheese cutters" I get the hardware from Woodcraft.... You really need a drum sander, to segment. Then the hardest part is drilling the hole in the center, but I use a "dowel it" for that....works great.
Mike - here is a really good source for your cheese cutter supplies. I made a bunch of these one year. I'm almost certain that these are the same exact kits that Woodcraft sells. You can also purchase misc. parts to have on hand in case a recipient needs one or if something goes wrong. Your cutters are beautiful! Definitely a cut above. https://www.cheeseslicing.com/hardware
simple box,no hinges, no hardware. 2 1/2" tall, 6-7 inches long by 3 inches wide. Wall thickness is 1/4". Top is supported by the cross slats. Pushing down on either end of the top raises the other end or lift it up. Kids like them. easy to make. These are variable size slightly due to the piece of wood made from. Did not bother to make them all exactly the same. Coat of wipe on poly.
One of these was more for a custom need not a useful gift. One has a small notch for setting thin set for tile. Two wood floats for masonry work. The handles are Sapele and the base is Ipe. Got them nice and flat on the jointer and being wet a lot and not worry about warping it was a good way to use Ipe scraps.
Barb, they just slide apart, and if you goo to far they come apart. All of the pieces are the same length cut at 60* If I can get my photos organized (that is a task in itself) I'll post them as a project.
