I found an easy way of building small barrels!
I build a mini wooden cask for a st. bernard ski rescue dog. I use an round interlocking router bit for canoes for making the staves fit together. The barrel is glued together and sanded to shape. Then the bands are welded together and hammered onto the barrel to hold the barrel slats together. I took the time to build a handmade wooden valve for the spout.

How built my Dining Table. Wedge fit leg joinery
Просмотров 62610 месяцев назад
In this video I show how i made my butcher block table with the mortise and tenon wedges. The tabletop is stacked hickory glue-lam , it shows my techniques for using a router sled and sanding , and is finished with epoxy and spar urethane. The table legs use a unique wedge on a castle mortise and tenon. This is for easy fastener takedown of the table legs. I rough router mortises out and finish...
Three legged chairs have this one great advantage.
Просмотров 571Год назад
I build a three legged chair to test and find out how stable it is! i built a tall three legged stool in the past and it was super tippy and it is always falling over. The way to fix a 3 legged stool from being tippy is to spread the legs far apart to give it a wider footprint. doing this with a stool can be more difficult because of the small seat to work with and the wider the leg is, the mor...

Build an Acoustic Guitar Short Montage 15 minutes
Просмотров 2342 года назад
My very first acoustic guitar built from scratch. It's one thing to build an electric guitar but when you start an acoustic, i realized there is a ton of extra work that goes into building molds and the steam box. Once i steamed and shaped the sides i needed another mould to hold everything in place while i worked on the front and back of the guitar. since i didn't have a thickness sander i had...
Build an Acoustic Guitar from Scratch

This is my first acoustic guitar build. It's handbuilt with walnut mahogany and maple. The complete build, started with getting the shape and forming the sides then completing the body and building and attaching the neck. i scratch build this guitar and built all the moulds to steam bend and shape the sides of the guitar. Ripping 4" of walnut on the bandsaw and running it through the thickness ...

How much did it cost to make
Parts list is in the description. I think it was close to $300
Linda magnífica ♥️🔥😘 mulher
😊 thanks
Thank you so much for sharing! Im on a journey to build my own vintage wood paddleboard. Thoroughly enjoyed your vid and learned some things🎉
Good to hear! I hope to see your progress.
Is that marine grade plywood?
It's just regular ⅜" plywood.
Tip! Next one do single infront and two legs at the back. P.S. soviet era three legged barstools rocked, 4 legged ones always sucked.
@@buildsomethingawesome osta.img-bcg.eu/item/13/1404/63351404.jpg There you go. 3 legged one and 4 legged one next to each other. 🙂👍
How did you make your patterns for each batten?
I roughly drew out the size of paddleboard on a piece of wood and took measurements from that. Once i had the width of the ribs I used a curved template to mark the top corners so that they were all the same curvature.
@@buildsomethingawesomeDo you have any footage on how you did that?
Plans?
Next one i do will have plans.
Good!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!
I'm fascinated by your finishing methods on the table top.. Epoxy both sides then sand to 220 or so and spar Urethane both sides? I'm assuming epoxy for the protection and urethane for the Satin finish? Did you notice any bad ambering with this process?
Thats right. The epoxy is easier to build up a thick coat with. Sand the epoxy to 220. Spar urethane to give it the satin finish. Epoxy does yellow it a bit, but the satin finish seems to whiten it back a bit. Also the spar urethane has uv protection, which i hope will help keep the epoxy white.
Thanks for sharing 😎👍
where you can find a plans ?
Unfortunately i didn't make plans of this as i went. Sorry. I am planning on making another one and I'll include plans next time.
Thanks for sharing, I lived in Saskatoon for 10 years. I miss the races so much, spent a lot of weekends there.
Nice! I bet that was a lot of fun!
Hello, is it possible for you to send me the dimensions of the different parts to build this super paddle. Thanks in advance. David
The amount of anxiety I had while you were using the bandsaw. Matea says she would love this crossbow. 😂 So good!
Haha 😆 i have anxiety around bandsaws too. This however is a scroll saw (blade moves back and forth) , it's pretty harmless. I start the younger kids on it.
@@buildsomethingawesome ah that makes more sense!
That internet. It has comments.
I might have to make a sequel. There are more comments...
Dude that was awesome!
This is awesome! Great Job! Any chance you could link to the parts that you used?
Sure! I put the links in the description. It's all stuff i found on aliexpress.
Loved everything you did but I gotta say… Gorilla glue?
Yup, gorilla glue to fill any larger gaps in the wood.
You need some dust control, your young today but in 20 years is when the problem come knocking and they do!
Thanks for the concern, I'm always striving to do better.
Im pretty sure you used the gorilla glue the wrong way. Regular wood glue would have worked when glueing up the frame. Gorilla glue needs water to activate.
Thanks for the tip, i didn't know that about gorilla glue. I used gorilla glue because it foams up and fills gaps a little better.
@@buildsomethingawesome spray the wood down with water first. It will expand more.
@@buildsomethingawesome gorilla glue will obtain all the water it needs to activate from the atmosphere. It just may take longer than had you dampened the wood prior to gluing. What plans did you use?
@@johnfurr8779 that makes sense. The gorilla glue seemed to work fine. As far as plans go, i just winged it on this one and hoped for the best. Aimed for a 10 ft board and whatever felt right.
Congrats, bro! Wonderful work! I want to try build one of this. Did you get a plan or create yourself?
Thanks, yeah i just built it without a plan. I watched some other youtubers building surfboards and such but that's about it. I hope you build one , it's a fun project.
@@buildsomethingawesome Great! I will make you know when I build that!
@@FlavioRicardoDesign sweet! I'd love to see what you build. 😃
@@FlavioRicardoDesign a couple tips and things i would change on the next one are this: make the back end a little wider, it has a small sweet spot for balance from the front to back. The second would be to put two air vents in, just in case water gets inside so you can pressurize the inside with one vent on an air hose and blow the water out through the second vent.
1st build. Wow, you did really well. I love the inlays on the sound hole and the timber looks great.
Thanks, first acoustic yes. The inlays on the soundhole were difficult on account of all the pointy pieces. Thanks for leaving a comment 🙂 👍
Браво Маэстро:)!!!!
🙂 cheers 🍻
Pattern?
Hey Paul, i didn't use a pattern to build this. There is a quick part at the beginning that shows marking out the general shape.
@@buildsomethingawesome Maybe you could sell the pattern? For those of us not so artistically inclined.
The guys got a wood shop in his living room 😊
3:20...very clever!
Thanks, it sped things up a bit.😃
Great job on the board. I appreciate you showing all the steps. How did you keep the epoxy from dripping on the sides when you glassed it?
Thanks for liking my video! 🙂 I kept on wiping the drips on the resin until it stiffened up enough. Any runs were sanded down after. So far, getting a glossy smooth finish isn't my strong point.
Turned out awsome! It is a special sense of pride knowing you made something. I'll bet that thing gets a lot of attention wherever you take it!
Thank you! Yes, it draws a bit of attention at the lake. I'm proud of it. 😃
A nail gun and no glue wtf!!!
11:43. It's glued, i just didn't video every strip getting glued.😆 Sometimes people will use staples to hold them in place till the glue dries and then pull the staples. I might try that next time.
Well that’s an annoying video
What do you specifically find annoying?
Really nice work
Thank you! 😊 Always nice to meet a fellow luthier.
@@buildsomethingawesome you guys that do acoustics amaze me. It’s a totally different animal. Fascinating to watch the process.
Glad you liked it. You're right, it has its differences. I tried making this acoustic easy to play, like the electric guitars I've made. But a lot of it comes down to stuff like needing a bigger string size and having more neck relief than electric.
@@buildsomethingawesome From what I've seen of acoustic builds, there are a number of tools and jigs specific to building them. The science of bracing, and resonance... There are difficulties to overcome that electrics just don't have to deal with. I admire acoustic builders, and the process is fascinating.
Yes, the jigs are what take a lot of the time on a first build for sure. A proper thickness sander would also go a long ways. I also wish you could just put a tune-omatic bridge on an acoustic to help with setup but it probably would dampen the sound.
Bravo! Loved this video. I so want to make one of these but guess I better start out with buying all of the woodworking equipment in this video. LOL. A labor of love I’m sure and how exciting to take your creation out on the water. Very inspiring. Thank you for sharing it with all of us.
Glad you liked the video Dale! I hope you give it a try. The tools help but the board can definitely be built with less (or more😆) tools than i used. It's a fun toy to take out on the lake and it's even better enjoying something you've made. Thanks for the comments. 👍
nice job
Awesome build man! The guitar looks great!
When you started cutting that bone, I instinctively started smelling burnt hair. The JOYS of bone nuts. lol. Great video my man!
I don't think I would say you are learning, I think a more accurate description would be you have already learned, now you are teaching!!! This is amazing work!!!
Beautiful object and hard work but sorry, it seems very unstable on water!!!
Very impressive build!
Thank you so much for subscribing! 👍
Can I use regular plywood for the bones? I’ve got plans from Jarvis but I can’t find marine grade ply anywhere.
Jeremiah 10:1-4 1 Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel: 2 Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. 3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe. 4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Right on.

Saw this over and Amateur Luthier, amazing work mate, love the ingenuity with the gobars, slotting, all of it. New sub from me! Ash
Awesome! Thank you so much for the feedback 😊 I'm really glad you liked it! Thanks for the subscribe 👍
It's beauty!
Thank you!
great video! I have the bones for one from Jarvis Boards and haven't started yet. glad yours worked out just using a plan in your head.
Nice work mate, looks bloody heavy though!
Good night, I want to make a Stand up board like this. Do you sell the project? my name is Nivaldo Serva and I live in Brazil. Thanks
Very nice board and video! How does it track? (With the fins on). Just wondering if after using it you are thinking about a keel. I am thinking about building one since the junk plastic one I have tracks poorly even with fins. Again very nice!
It tracks very nicely actually. Three fins are plenty, I've thought of removing one to make it easier to turn. With a little bit of paddle angle i can paddle straight without switching from side to side. I hope you give it a try! It's a great learning experience to build one. I'm planning to build another one sometime but a little shorter. Probably 8 or 9 ft instead of 10 ft.
That’s beautiful!!! Do you happen to know how much it weighs?
@@buildsomethingawesome thanks so much for the reply! I’m looking for my first board and my husband found your video, he was thinking about getting the plans. You did a gorgeous job!
@@veggimite2 Awesome! I wish you guys the best of luck building one! The one thing i would have changed about mine would be to make the tail end a little wider.
Very nice! What kind of plywood was that? 3/8” CDX?
