Great design - I added castors. I made it in France - they don't do 4 by 2 timber here, 72 by 45! I used two sheets of 15mm ply for top - did the cut-outs in place on the bottom sheet, then put on the top sheet after I routed some depth for the fence assembly.
Im sure the give away is over but my life is one chance after another. but at 68 years old my wife and I took ATV's to Glamis sand dunes in California and had a blast.
This is a great video on creating the weave design. Thanks for sharing! A chance I took was in 2018 we (wife and 4 kids) sold our house bought a truck and a fifth wheel and went to KY for a year and did Christian outreach at a RV park . Short version
This is so cool, do you still RV. my wife and I bought a class C 2 years ago and are getting into enjoying the RV life. not full time but free to take off anytime. we raised 9 kids, all home schooled until 9th or 10th grade then gave them the option to go to public school. 6 of the 9 now work in our family business and we are free to travel.
If you could put the measures of the wood on the screen that would be nice. I never know what length most of the time to cut stuff. I know it’s based on my space.
if you want to LEARN HOW TO - the real deal - a video that won't waste your time...check this one out...IlMakerstauratore Found what i was looking for...someone who can teach how to fix an antique door!!!
This is a great video. It was put together well and was very informative. The last time I took a huge chance in my life was quitting my job and investing in myself. It has been 7 years since doing so. My woodworking business is doing OK. More importantly, I am much better in my health and as a person. Keep those videos coming. They have re-inspired me to do more woodworking projects.
Cool tree. May have to build this one too. Think I would add an extra access door on the side so there’s one in front and one on the side. And maybe change the square opening to an arch way from the bottom. And think I’d add all carpet to the inside. Thanks for the commentary.
I'm taking a big chance now - after retiring early and unexpectedly but needing an income, we invested in a CNC router and now I'm learning about woodworking! 😂
Dude, you rock! I have long been one to "engineer on the fly", but I am impressed. You have skills. And you did it on the ground with a few tools! It's reassuring to folks who don't have the Norm Abrams/Tom Silva workshops and tool collections that one can still turn out a functional and well-built project. And Bailey is a real sweetheart! I think she would get along great with my pittie, Riley (whose name was Bailey for one day till my wife changed her mind!)
Great videos, thank you! I've made a pair of cutting boards with your guidance. They look fabulous with the exception of some gaps between the accent strips and the boards. They're maybe 1/32" or smaller, but definitely noticeable. I haven't oiled the wood yet as I want to close those if possible first. I'm wondering if you have advice on how to fill/mask those gaps. I saw it coming during the glue up and tried to force additional glue in. However, during subsequent planing and sanding the gaps are again visible. Any suggestions?
Try mixing a little glue and sawdust that matches one of the woods you’re using at the gap location. You’ll push this into the gap, let it dry for a few hours, and then sand flush. I hope this helps!
Yup, I did it and it came out great. Thanks for this tip and the cutting board videos. They are beautiful! I'll be very proud to give these to close friends as special gifts!
They are very pretty but its a lot of work and expensive wood to make a flat grain board that will warp and look pretty bad after 6 months of cutting on it. I would want to add a step of cutting strips to put together at least edge grain boards and then the same process. Assembling entire boards of end grain blocks might be a bit much but it sure would be nice. Whatever the grain of the board that ends up being used this is a great project for CNC
