Making Sawdust
Registrace 29. 07. 2016
After years of being fed up with particle board furniture that doesn't last and toys from China that break I decided to do something about it. I have always had an independent streak. No need to follow the mainstream way of life and the fewer people I depend on the happier I will be. Follow along with my builds. Some will be shop projects, others will be craft fair items, and some will be furniture builds or improvements on my house. Leave a comment if there is something you want me to try. I think this summer I'll be tackling a queen sized version of the bed I built my daughter. Drawers underneath! Enjoy!
Turning Trash into Bullseyes: Building an Archery Backstop
My daughter got a bow for her last birthday. Sure I could go out and buy a styrofoam target but I'd rather reuse what I already have. A couple old 2 by 4's I pulled out of my house during different renovations and a stack of cardboard I got from my dad. Breathing new life into materials others would trash is a definite hobby of mine. And, of course, I like to make what others might buy. Frugality and self reliance are a good thing in my book.

Maybe not a secret, but this is going to change how I finish smaller projects. AND it lets me use up something I've been storing for YEARS!!!
Stylish Recipe Card Holder

I was thinking earlier today, that when my girls are grown and on their own it would be great to make them a recipe box and give them a copy of all the recipes I have collected. That isn't any time soon, but as I was making this box today, that is what I was thinking about. Recipes hold memories, memories of who you received the recipe from, memories of making food, memories of sharing food wit...

It doesn't take much wood and only a few tools to make these trees that look great in any home. Finish them any way you want and I'm sure you are going to be happy with the results. Look for a follow up video where I share how many sold at a nearby holiday market.

Feel free to disagree, but I am absolutely thrilled with how this project turned out. It has been a series of trials and tribulations, as I vacillated between hope and despair. I left the project alone for weeks at a time, but it is finally done. It fought me right up to the end, but it is DONE!

Part 2 of the biggest build I have ever attempted to document on CZcams! In part 1 I built the cabinet carcass, and in this video I assembled the face frame and attached it as well as the rest of the trim pieces. I also built the drawer boxes and drawer fronts before running out of time once again. In the next video I will focus on installing the drawers and drawer fronts. After that there is o...
I Ran out of Wood and Time

Part 1 of building a Rolling Beverage Cart/Wine Rack. I wanted to get the whole project done before school started back, but the universe had other ideas. Made a wrong cut and ran out of wood. Wife needed surgery and ran out of energy. Didn't make it down to the shop for three days in a row and ran out of time. But! I will FINISH! just not in this video.
Better than a Tripod!
zhlédnutí 377Před rokem
This adjustable camera arm completes the build I started last time. No more TRIPODS! Heavily inspired by Ben from Woby Designs, but I drew up the plans myself (mainly because I'm too cheap to pay $19). Below is a link to Ben's plans if you're interested. And a link to his CZcams video! www.woby.design/shop/the-woby-camera-jig-digital-files czcams.com/video/k4pwaaJQIME/video.html
Throw Away Your Tripod!
zhlédnutí 235Před rokem
Investing a bit of time and money in my CZcams channel, I am building a better camera stand so I can ditch the tripod. Tripods take up a lot of floorspace and it takes a lot of adjustments to change the height by more than a few inches. This new base is inspired by Jay Bates and Jer Schmidt. I think it turned out great! Let me know what you think and what you might do differently. Jay Bates Cam...
Adding Material Storage to the Jointer/Planer

I had this thought soon after planing material for the first time on my jointer/planer. I need somewhere to organize boards as they go in and come out of the planer. I've even had the magnets for almost three quarters of a year. I'm not sure why it took me so long to get around to this project, but I'm glad it did because the bridle joints look way better than the first way I was going to assem...

What's with the theatrical behavior? Not my style.
Sorry to waste your time.
I absolutely love this display - but I wish this was a video that utilized tools that the average person might have.
That's fair. Ask around and see if a friend has a woodshop. You might be surprised. Thanks for watching!
How did you connect the 90° ends to the rest of the handrail?
I made a doweling jig to attach the returns and then just glued and clamped them together. Here is a link: czcams.com/video/9ffmhYE1g_c/video.html
@@MakingSawdust Thank you very much!
@@fmradio42 You are welcome! Hope it helps and thank you for watching!
I was a glass fabricator for 25 years. I used the cheap Worksite cutters from C R Lawrence for everything except heavy glass. Fancy stuff not necessary.
Great, I just made a small adjustment. I predilled 2 holes, front and back of the clothes pin and added 2 small screws with glue to the bottom service. This way when the gun gets tossed into a toys bin or just thrown around, the clothes pin will stay on. Kids are rough with their toys and moms are too when they throw them in the toy box.
Great suggestion, thanks for watching!
I dusted off the like button
Thank you!!! Hope the video was entertaining.
USE A CIRCULAR SAW
Interesting suggestion! I'm usually trying to do things without spending money, but if I come across a need to cut thick mirror again I might just buy a blade for it. Thanks!
*Every* wall is out of square! Thanks for the vid
So true! Thanks for watching.
Mate, You are a champion.
Thank you for watching!
This is an amazing video! Loved watching your process and learning from. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching! Make sure you read through the comments. There seem to be a few people with WAY more experience and know how than myself.
Your straight edge is only holding it at the ends. Wood doesn't work for that unless you make a strongback, but you don't really need it to hold the mirror after you score it. Take the straight edge off after you score it deeply. Tap it from behind on either end to start a crack on your score, then work towards center with tongs. Gently encouraging the crack to break. Either that or score a groove in it, like a serious score, then put it over a straight piece of pipe or dowel. Tap both sides of it with your GLOVED palms and it will break along your score, provided it's a perfectly straight score line. Then polish the edge with 150 and 300 grit to take the edge off. 1/4" is tough for the first time cutting glass. If you have a mounted straight edge, you can score it more than once if you have to, but that's asking for trouble. (It will dull your glass cutter very quickly. Even good ones.) A wetsaw with a glass cutting blade will cut it also. Don't try to DIY tempered glass, but a regular mirror would be fine. Also if it has peel and stick backing, you need to cut that with a razor blade aong your score line. Some cheap imported glass doesn't have conventional silvering, just a vinyl backer.
This is a TON of great information! Thank you for sharing!
You don't give any precise measurements & diagrams
Play around with the design and let measurements come from there. Thanks for watching.
It's really cute. Thank you for the idea and the step by step instructions.
I'm still loving the one I made. the remote goes missing a lot less nowadays. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your plan. Auburn Tiger fan? Building one with a cleat (A. Wilkerson plan). The laminate is a must for my version like yours (dual purpose glue table). Will be attaching left trim to the angle iron cleat and attaching oak trim to the left side of the saw table (Alm Fabrication version). This allows my cleat to extend longer out when the pivot table is lowered.
Haha! Not an Auburn fan, just a bandana I have. That sounds pretty cool, melding the two ideas together. Have fun! And thanks for watching!
Great.. will u send me a drawing?
Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, I don't have any drawings for this tray. Don't let dimensions rule your build with this one. Use what you have and if you don't like the end product make alterations next time. My first trays had a completely different handle design that I will never go back to.
This is awesome! Thank you!
You are Welcome! Thank you for watching!
I love your energy!!! What did you use for the bottom of the tray? Just plywood?
Thank you for watching! I used 1/4 inch plywood for the bottom. Keeps the weight down and with it locked into dados on all sides it is plenty strong enough.
@@MakingSawdust I subscribed, I’m just starting out so I appreciate you taping these things.

Very nice build, I enjoy it
Thank you!
Make yourself a push block next time, you're gonna need those fingers for future projects!!! LOL!
Haha! Thanks for watching
Nice! My adhesive is such on the mirror and wall. How would you remove the residual in the walls?
If the mirror was glued to sheetrock I don't know that you will get the glue off without repairing the sheetrock.
I can't find the follow-up video - I want to see how it turned out!
Which wood is this
Just pine if I remember correctly.
So i tried this technique with thicker globs of glue. It was going good for the first 1/2 dozen globs then it cracked. Be careful. Too much heat stress cracked a nice large mirror.
Fkn love CZcams. I was thinking to get my daughter a putter but it’s all crappy plastic crap. Decided I should make one and decided to see if anyone put their build up. Of course someone did 😊
Great edit with the magic clamps. I have to get a pair of those! Love the attitude and energy.
I like the yellow bullseye with purple and green!
I might make that one again except with a blue background instead of white. Color choice is limited by what I already have.
@@MakingSawdust Blue would really make it pop!
Personally, I thought it was a great video Brian. @ brianwolfsohn3942 Had me hooked for a good 3 minutes and 29 seconds.
You might have a good message, but the editing/cutting/jumping around isn't doing it for me.. The message is getting lost..

You should invest in safety glasses and ear plugs
Thank you for your concern Tony. You must have missed it, but I am wearing hearing protection.
No safety glasses????
Thank you for your concern.

So simple yet so clever. I'm surprised I've never seen one before.
The crazier the shape, the more I love this method. Thanks for watching!
Great video 🎉
Thank you Tyler😁
You come off as a real JERK. ( by showing off your sick machinery)
Thanks for doing such an awesome job. That was at my Grandma's. Us grandkids used to fight over who got to sit in it for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner. I've shared this video with the family and they are impressed and appreciative
Thank you Perry! It was a fun challenge figuring out how to go about fixing it. I knew I wanted to preserve the character!
The best solution I know of is acetone, a wire brush and lots of elbow grease!
loved it, amazing video
This is the best
When I screw up, my mantra is that I am smarter today than I was yesterday. Also, hope that is the biggest mistake that you will make in the coming year.

Good sturdy end table.

Haha! Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate that you're still watching my videos! Hopefully you can tell that as they get newer the filming/editing is getting better. Hopefully.
Well made and looks great Kalin, kudos!
This is a great idea! I have a four year old grandson and his mother is a preschool teacher. I am going to make a few of these for her to use in her class. Just found your channel and have watched several of your videos. keep up the great work.
Thank you for leaving a comment!
Nice jig and presentation. Hope you don’t hurt your eyes. 👁️
