Registrace 20. 11. 2019
Black Dog Builds spotlights the unique creativity of the craftsmen at Black Dog Salvage, an architectural salvage company based in Roanoke, Virginia, USA. For 20 years, Black Dog has tried to do their part to save pieces of architectural history and either resell them or reimagine them into custom furniture or home accessories. Equipped with an impressive wood and metal shop, Mike Whiteside and his crew of fabricators bring "left-field" ideas to life by cutting, welding, bending and hammering their way to upcycling nirvana. What will they build next?

It this episode, we finally finish this one-of-a-kind coffee table. We left off in part 1 with two "half-wheel" table legs that, after a bit of trial and error, were welded together from an old corn sheller flywheel and some steel from the metal shop.

This week, the fabrication team at Black Dog Salvage tackles the upcycle of an antique grain bin into a one-of-a-kind console with a unique storage solution.

Ironwood Deck Chairs: Part 1, The Metalwork // Black Dog Builds

In this episode, Mike brings a cool deck chair design he just sold down to the shop to bring it to life. Cam, the fab shop foreman, gets a quick briefing before it's off to the races, doing air math, drawing (somewhat) to scale, cutting, welding and assembling in order to get the frame done. The crew has eight of these chairs to make so it was crucial to use the first one as a model and make a ...

Today in the shop, Zach, a talented member of our team with experience building high-end sets for theaters in New York, takes a beautiful live-edge walnut slab and crafts a unique version of our "selling like hotcakes" charcuterie boards.

Oxygen Tank Zen Bell // Black Dog Builds

In this episode, Cameron, our fab shop foreman, takes us through the process of making one of our oxygen cylinder "zen bells". Making something from scrap always requires a "shoot from the hip" approach as you have to make snap decisions on the fly and improvise based on the materials you're working with. We've made these bells out of full-sized cylinders as well as tiny cylinders like this one...

The rigid welding connection cuts the resonance of the bell. It doesn't truly ring.
Little bit painful to watch if you want to do it properly, use metric measurements 😂. So much work easier just to drill 4 holes in the ski for the shot glasses. Then you’re also not limited to those 4 magnetic shot glasses. But great job
great video brother, thank you
What size magnets did you use? also were your glasses actual glass or plastic?
I love this show. So glad to see it on utube. Thank you!
yawn...... BLACK WALNUT IS TOXIC
Wonderful nice piece of wood it made a lovely board
Yes I want to see Grayson in the next season of Black Dog Builds! She is so sweet and real and she has some good ideas too!
what brand or where did you get the magnets?
Very nice practical work. Thanks. Blessings
WTF kind of measurement is that?! “One foot six and twenty one thirty seconds.” Hahaha Damn Yankees. Hahaha
Good show..... from Merseyside
Good project look great. I like using maple and walnut plus cherry wood. I would love to have better wood working tools. I have the cheaper ones but they get me by. God bless.
I am so glad that I finally ran across your guys again. Feel like old friends.
yes .......let Grayson in on season 2!!!!

Cameron, the bell turned out very nice and you have a good teaching style because you engage your audience and that makes for enjoyable viewing pleasure.
I appreciate this tutorial. I have doors but none of those nifty tools or skill! I love it ❤️
Absolutely love it 👍👍
That looked like an interesting video. Sadly, I had to switch it off because the intrusive, and quite unnecessary, music was so annoying. The music didn't enhance your video production - it ruined it.
Great Vid. Super straight forward - it makes sense to me with minimum knowledge in workshop arena. Now I can make my buddy shot skis before he leaves for Middlebury College!
DID YOUearn anything about PPE? YOUR LUNGS WILL THANK YOU FOR BEING SO COOL/STUPID WHEN YOU ARE OLDER
Great detailed info on the joiner and planar. Technical details that many others just gloss over.
I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.
I love you, guys! I like everything you do, the way you give a new life to things that others will throw to garbage! Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Romania and I watched every single episodes on Discovery channel! So, greetings from Romania and keep the god job! Regards, Petru. (Peter in english :) ).
You forgot your safety glasses
what is the minimal magnet strength needed to hold these shot glasses in place and not require the Incredible Hulk to pull them apart after use?
Mineral oil is left over crud from the ⛽ companies. Use a natural oil like hemp or tung oil. Beautiful work by the way.
That is such a great-looking table
No safety glasses could be bad too
I love this tree so much. It was so fun to watch you build it. Oh how I wish we could do it at home.
Hi, Have only just found your build channel and first series was great cannot wait for the second, having Grayson on the build team can only make it more enjoyable she seems to put her whole heart and soul into every fabrication. Hope to see more of team Whiteside Mike and Tay keep up the excellent work love the banter stay safe. On
Great little table , I've got a old door and found a old wheel I didn't know what to do with and eureka now I know what I can make with them lol . I'm sure hoping yall comeback on tv , my wife and I love you guys , hurry back . From Trenton , Georgia besafe my friends .

Your video was very easy to watch and informative. What a nice spacious shop I’m envious.
Just found this. I will see everyone.
Black dog Salvage- Start a Online CATALOG Please
nice video. I had a walnut tree cut down from my yard a couple years ago, and i saved as much as i could for woodworking. I made walnut charcuterie boards for all my friends this Christmas. they all turned out amazing - walnut is really beautiful, durable wood and if anyone ever gets the chance to work it, you will know what I mean. Looking forward to more projects with my walnut as it's just getting dry enough to work with. Being in Western Canada we don't have much hardwood, so I feel fortunate! I am just a beginner wood worker with entry-level tools, but I am enjoying learning and appreciate how many great woodworkers share their craft and knowledge on youtube. Thanks!
Superb video. Clearly explained at every step. Just what I needed. Thank you.
Oh awesome, I was watching you guys on TV, glad I found you here as well!
I think because I wanted to make a video about Charcuterie Boards CZcams was like here are some other people who made them. But glad I stumbled across your channel 😀
Must be nice to have all those tools at your disposal.
I use my Router Table. Much less work to just round edge.
Good video but come on, it is a CUTTING BOARD or SERVING BOARD
Safety glasses
Turned out great! Have you ever tried a homemade mix of mineral oil and beeswax? Food safe and brings out the grain of walnut. Just curious, what do you sell these for?
Excellent!
How long and wide was the finished board?
First off... we miss the show and are grateful for the channel here. Maybe annoying question, but what is that funky music in this episode? It is so good
But what about cupping/twisting?
