Bending Wood into a DIY Table & Other Woodworking Tips | Woodworking Project 

Would be beautiful if the gaps were filled with resin

@@criollitoification I havent actually tested equal pieces of wood soaked in water vs ammonia. I've always had good results using ammonia. I have laminated many boat frames with strips of white oak 3/8 thick 3 inches wide 10 feet long. Soak about 8 of them at a time, then the next day pull them out stack them and immediately clamp them in place. When they dry, un clamp them, glue each side and clamp them back in place. When that dries, un clamp the laminated frame, sand it nice and smooth cut the ends where you need to and you have a beautiful strong alternating woodgrain frame. I've never tried this method with anything over 2 inches thick. I bet it would work tho. The ammonia must soften the wood differently than just water? To bend wood sideways, you need a jig and you will still have to work the wood into place, using a longer piece of wood helps then just cut off what you dont need.

@@criollitoification Hoy mate, thank you and Merry Christmas to you also. This method works even better for model boats. I build some of the largest model ships in the world, fulltime every day 26.6 years now. May I recommend trying a couple of plastic models at first. Seriously, there are plenty of plastic models of square rigged ships available. Hand tie all of the rigging. DON'T use the shroudes/rat lines provided. Hand tie everything yourself. You will be amazed at how nice these models look. Ahhh the Americas cup yachts! I'm a big fan of the Americas Cup. There is a Italian company that makes wonderful kits of the Golden age of yacht racing, the 1930s. I built ....... 8 of them? If you want to see them, on RU-vid search, 'Jimmy Frost Master Shipwright.' It was supposed to be Master Model Shipwright but..... I did not know this video was going to be posted. Forgive my slow speech I'm trying to think of what to say while saying it. Also I got the scale of the 30 foot model of the Queen Elizabeth wrong, it's 1/32nd scale not 1/48. The giant 40 foot hull molds were built with the Ammonia trick. What you see in the video is fiberglass. I'm building several plastic model ships now and I love them. Check out the plastic kit of the "Vasa" Its on my shelf and I cant wait to get to it. The plastic kits will prepare you for wooden kits. They are smaller, easyer and look just as good if in some cases, they look better. Enjoy my friend.

@@criollitoification Thank you Sir, welcome aboard mate. I'm just the model maker. I invented the job, hired myself and I just showed up for work the next day! Oh I would love to visit the ships on your side. Of all my years of sailing. My favorite ship of all time is ..... The Golden Hind. I think that is the most well designed ship ever drawn and built. I love the proportions of that ship. I would love to visit the full size replica of it in England. Francis Drake sailed her around the World in 1577. When he returned, he was Knighted Sir Francis Drake. I'm putting the 1/72 plastic scale model of it together now. I love that little ship. Please consider some of the plastic models before taking on the aggravation of wooden kits. Some nice plastic models of the HMS Victory are available. So much I wish I could show you. Take care my friend. "Jimmyfrostmodelshipwright@yahoo.com "

Qq

Yes there is...but the table is somewhat of a disposable design. He didn't finish it, nor really cared about accuracy in the splayed legs (and the glued up slats aren't even aligned well). That said, there's nothing wrong with that! Sometimes, you just play with this stuff for a couple of hours and when the thing tears up, you just replace it with something else fun. Of course, with some extra work and different materials, you could improve the design to make it longer lasting and of more heirloom in quality. I was impressed by the idea of the table myself...and I think the maker would have you take the spirit of what he did and maybe do a few things to make it your own, in whatever context you would use it.

Wood* be cool

@@sudopenguin definitely possible just a bit more difficult to make a spiral cutting jig. It's just like drawing a spiral with a compass and putting a router in place of pencil

Look up drawing a spiral on RU-vid and make a similar jig for the router

@@seaotter52 You’re so right!

8 Woodworking Tips to Boost Your Efficiency Posting We’ve all heard the adage: work smarter, not harder. It makes good sense, so here are eight woodworking tips to make your shop work easier and more efficient: 1 - Sanding made easier Sanding woodwork by hand may seem like a chore, but with special tools and high-quality sandpaper, you’ll get excellent results that often outshine a power sander. Besides, it’s quieter, doesn’t produce clouds of dust, and may get into places power sanders can’t. Use a sanding block for faster, more efficient results. It distributes sanding pressure more evenly and maintains a flatter surface than merely folding a piece of sandpaper. Also, change sandpaper often. Sand with the grain of the wood, especially for the final grits. To remove deep scratches and stains, angle across the grain up to about 45º for the first sanding. Before moving to the next finer grit, sand with the grain to remove all cross-grain scratches. For sanding painted surfaces, buy clog-resistant sandpaper. The paint will build up slower than on standard sandpaper. 2 - Avoid drywall screws for woodworking When screwing two pieces of wood together, use the traditional wood screw over the drywall screw for better results. A drywall screw is threaded the full length. Since the top threads tend to grip the first board it enters, this can force two pieces of wood apart slightly because you have threads in both boards. The top part of a wood screw, on the other hand, has a smooth shank that won’t grip the first board. This makes it easier to clamp two pieces of wood together. There’s another reason to avoid drywall screws: The hardened, brittle steel shafts of drywall screws will often break during installation, especially when screwed into hardwoods. Removing them from a finished material is nearly impossible and getting them out damages the surface. Wood screws are made of thicker, softer metal, so they’re break-resistant. Wood screws do, however, require you drill: A pilot hole for the threads A wider counterbore hole the length of the non-threaded shaft A countersink hole for setting the head However, you can easily handle all three drilling chores by buying a set of three countersinking bits. They handle most common screw sizes. 3 - Know your wood’s moisture content When building with wood, you must know the correct moisture content of each piece of wood. Too dry, and the finished product may swell or crack. Too moist, and the end product may shrink or warp. It’s no wonder experts say incorrect moisture causes 80% of all woodworking problems. Therefore, it’s critical to know the moisture content of each piece of wood before it is used. For instance, if you’re planning an inlay job using two different species of wood, you’ll need to know the moisture content of each type so that your inlay glue joints stay intact. A failsafe way to avoid a ruined project is to use a moisture meter. 4 - Prevent excess glue stains To eliminate stains caused by oozing glue along joints, clamp the pieces together without glue. Apply masking tape over the joint and then cut it with a utility knife. Next, separate the pieces, apply the glue, and clamp them together again. The glue will ooze onto the tape, not the wood. Remove the tape before the glue dries. 5 - Measure with a drafting square Make accurate measuring and marking layouts on boards faster and easier with a drafting square - available at any art supply store. When you need an accurate square in the 2- to 3-foot range, drafting squares beat the cumbersome drywall squares for accuracy and eliminate the hassle of hooking up a carpenter square. 6 - Keep a clean, orderly workspace Achieving efficiency in your shop can sometimes be as simple as clearing clutter from your work area. A disorderly work area can hinder your productivity. Another tip: Only keep out items that you use daily. Everything else should be put in designated areas so they’re quickly retrievable when needed. 7 - Keep a well-lit shop Pay special attention to lighting. You should have consistent and ample illumination on all work areas so you can work from any angle without casting shadows. This ensures safety and productivity. Consider: Overhead lighting Focused lighting On-tool lights Painting walls and the ceiling white can help diffuse the light. 8 - Keep your blades sharp Dull tools such as chisels, blades, planes, scrapers and gouges don’t cut cleanly. They tear at the wood fibers resulting in a fuzzy, uneven, unprofessional look. Tools that have been chipped or nicked require grinding. A bench grinder, wet grinder, or even a belt sander can be used. Avoid letting your tool get too hot when using a bench grinder or belt sander to prevent it from losing temper. Dipping it in a pan of cool water every few seconds will help. After grinding, proceed to honing using either a flat wet stone or oil stone. A wet stone is preferred when doing fine woodworking. The final step is polishing using a fine wet stone, a stropping wheel or leather. Tools with sharper blades make woodworking easier, more efficient, and safer. Closing comments… Achieving efficiency in your shop won’t just improve your productivity and help you work faster and easier, it’ll also make you feel accomplished and more satisfied. kamelohy90.systeme.io/1567d1b8
