The Australian army have the rising star badge on their uniform. If they are wearing their slouch hats, they have the badge on the side that's turned up. When I saw the finished product, I immediately thought of our boys n girls in the Aussie army. 😍👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
My daughter just asked me to make a wooden wall art hanging. I wasn’t even sure what that was. After lots of searching I was lucky enough to find this video. Thanks, you saved my bacon and got a new subscriber even though I usually do lathe work.
What a fun project, very cool, nice work. I saw and downloaded the very same inspirational art poster you had hanging on your shop wall, and we probably said the same thing... "Damn, that is very cool, I just might build that someday". The day is here, thanks for sharing. And two thumbs up to Stains & Grains as well.
the way you rounded out each stave ? was that with the orbital sander as you went along or did you have a mental picture on how it should look .what a unique method rather than just butting up each stave EXCELLENT
Yes I sanded as I went fitting each piece as I thought I wanted it. I've done some intarsia work over the years and treated it the exact same way just on a larger scale.
Bad ass bro keep it up. P.s I think you should make one like the american flag with the sun being the star part anf the slots being the red and white stripes.
Thanks for the kind words and sub Jesper!! You know I think that’s my favorite thing about RU-vid, it can bring people together that would never have had the opportunity otherwise. Cheers!!
@@2HME Exactly! I found that to be true after I started my own channel about upcycling and woodworking - I now have friends all over the world. That would not have happend without RU-vid.
i made one similar to this. when i first finished it the seams were tight and almost perfect. after it was in the house for a couple weeks the seams spread apart due to wood drying out. didn't look as good but from a distance i guess it was ok. gonna try to make another this time out of oak plywood.
This is gorgeous! And I love the stop motion effect piecing it all together, very cool! I do have a question though! I'm an experienced DIYer and am not unfamiliar with working with tools myself, however, woodwork isn't my specialty, so my tools are limited in that arena. Is there an alternative to the band saw you would recommend for this?
Thank you, You could definitely cut it all out with a jig saw. They are relatively inexpensive and you could use a straight edge as a guide and take your time. Though you could jump on craigs list and pick up a 9" or 10" band saw for under a $100, it is a very versatile piece of equipment, even the smaller ones. Good luck!!
Hey Rick, So I use 3M super 77 spray adhesive to hold my patterns down, but I lay down blue painters tape first so there is no glue residue left after I remove the stencil. It can be a pain to clean up, especially if your piece is somewhat fragile after cutting it out. The painters tape leaves virtually no residue so it's good to go. Hope this helps.
@@2HME Thank You 2HME Amazing, but so doable to hold my patterns while cutting! I will be sure to add my unique design ; yours is such an inspiration PharmacistRick
Absolutely awesome! I showed my wife this and now I have a project for our living room 👍🏻. What were the other colors of stain you used? I really liked the contrast in the sun and the rays.
awesome job. you know what if you just add few more words in your video's title you would get lots more views (u totally deserve that) like wood wall art, diy wood art etc. just a suggestion!
I’ve got that same pic and it’s painted on ,I prefer individual pieces also ,I haven’t made mine yet either ,I like what u did looks incredible ,good job
Hey, Florencia from The Epoch Times here. I contacted you via email offering to raise awareness of your channel. I look forward to your thoughts. Best regards, Florencia Parrado
It's gorgeous! I only wish we had a wall big enough to hang something like that. Maybe in our next house. LOL. I would like to know what stains you used on it. If I'm not mistaken, you're using Minwax but which colors? And thanks for the heads up on kitchen white towels too. I never thought about using them and I dry dishes most every night. Great idea.
2HME , what kind of paper is that? I can’t find anything like it, I suppose knowing what its called would help..or did you use a type of spray glue to make it stick?
@@2HME oh, its not special sticky paper lol ug...so how did you get the paper off after using 3m glue, sanding ? Looks awesome by the way, love the idea.
Jeremy Richards thanks, 3M makes different levels of spray adhesive. I generally use super 77, it’s in a maroon can. It holds well and will actually peel off pretty well also, but a trick I use sometimes is put on blue painters tape first, then spray glue and put on your pattern. Then when your done just peel the blue tape off and it leaves virtually no residue. I do that on all my scroll saw patterns it works really well. Good luck!!
I agree pieces can get pretty heavy. On the sun I drilled 1/2" holes on either end and about 3/4" deep. I use EZ anchor drywall anchors that are rated for 75lbs each, I really like these I've had good luck with them over the years. I used a screw with a good sized head and I used a chisel to make a bit of a recess in the back of the hole so the screw head had a place to sit up into it, it's been up a year and I've checked it recently and it's still perfectly secure.
Did you try french cleat system ?I regularly use it to wall mount heavy cabinets / picture frames, Lots of youtube videos, please have a look here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xFvced0deZ8.html
Wow, very nice work! I’d be willing to pay to have one myself. I wouldn’t want it stained or glued on. Just the raw wood pieces precut and ready to be stained/glued on to a backboard. If you’re interested, message me and give a price! Wonderfully beautiful!
It is a Varathane stain called Worn Navy, you can get it at Home Depot. I tried several different colors of blue, it was the hardest for me to find one that I liked. Thanks for watching!!
It could all be done on the band saw, I switched to the scroll saw because I was trying to make the pieces fit as close as I could get them. It makes the sanding and fitting together that much easier in my opinion.

@@2HME I might be pushing my luck here lol But im curious to know how you came up with the sunray pattern ….is it a formula you use ? or just sight and measurements?. I tinker a bit with some wood projects Always curious to learn new tricks thanks...
@@danielbeaton67 I did measure a bit, I had my horizon line and my vertical line through the middle of the sun, then I just halved the distance on each side then halved again and so on. Though when I got to the end I did make some slight line adjustments just to what I felt looked right. Hope you get the gist of what I'm saying lol thanks for watching!!
Being that this video is a few years old, I hope I'm not too late to get a reply :) I'm retired and have been aimlessly trying to find a hobby to fill the void. This video has ended my search. That was amazing!!! My wife is also recently retired; and she is a graphic designer. I'm thinking that she can do original designs and we can both have fun making the framed artwork. We would of course experiment with smaller pieces before graduating to epic pieces such as yours. This looks like something we can do without having an 'all the bells and whistles' workshop. A few stupid question however. What was that sheet that you used to draw your plan on, and then stick on the boards? Where do you get it? What is that glue that you mentioned and where do you get it? (I've seen brad nail guns being used. I don't like that idea :) I live in an area where naturally fallen trees are plentiful. I would like to harvest wood from these trees to use for these projects. In your opinion, would natural green wood still be suitable for such pieces of art (with your glue)? Or; is there be too much risk of deformation down the road on even small pieces of natural wood, assuming that I take care to quarter mill the wood blocks, and plane/square the wood? Sorry for the long winded comment and all the questions :) (new subscriber)
Hey Ian, thanks for the kind words. So to answer your questions in order, the paper I used is a poster board style paper you can get at any craft store or Walmart. It's heavier than sheet paper and can take some abuse and keep its shape. I use 3M super 77 to glue the poster board to the wood. The glue I used to glue the pieces down to the backer board is made by DAP and it's called rapid fuse. I would add that any good CA glue could be used here or even wood glue, though wood glue would take some time to set up. You could definitely use whatever wood you can get. I would just make sure it's dry, because it will move and shrink a bit. So harvest what you can and store it away, it can take awhile to dry. You can get some pine, like I used here, at Home Depot or Lowe's (I'm assuming you're in the US) for fairly cheap and play with some smaller projects to get your feet wet. I've seen people use all sorts of wood even old weathered fence planks. It just takes a bit of imagination and give it a go, good luck!!
@@2HME Thank you very much for the info and advice. To get started I'll use pre-dried wood until I can harvest and dry my own wood stock. My head is spinning with project designs already. I can't wait to get set up and start creating. Thanks, again.
@@2HME Sorry, one final question. Are there any issues removing the templates from the wood after cutting is complete, or do they peal off easily? Didn't see this in the video (unless I missed something :) Thanks.
@@ianmorrison2003 No it peels off OK, there is a bit of residue left from the glue, so each piece had to be completely sanded. When I make smaller, more fragile things, I will put down blue painters tape then glue my pattern to it, then when I'm done the painters tape peels right off and leaves virtually no residue. Painters tape isn't cheap, so I chose to sand a bit more on this.
LeggoMyEggo it’s a Verathane stain called “Worn Navy” I had a hard time finding a blue I liked, what it looks like in the can isn’t really what it ends up looking like on the wood lol. Thanks for watching!!
I commented on this a few months ago. I would like to be able to connect with you via email. Is that possible? I've got some questions I'd like to ask. But not in a public forum. Thank you for at least considering it.
Nice work man! Looks pretty cool. I do similar work in my shop. Just built a similar piece myself. The build is also on my channel if you want to check it out. Take care!
