You're my hero. I see boxsprings illegally dumped all the time and ponder picking it up for the wood but haven't done so yet. I got a basement full of salvage wood, love reuse! Interesting scoop building technique also. Just watched Paul Sellers video on hand carving a scoop (actually not that difficult) and this is a good complement. Thanks as always
Love the t-shirt you wore at the beginning of the video: "Good things come to those who work their asses off and never give up". My dad had a saying very much like that: "If you ever find yourself in need of a helping hand, the only one you can truly rely on is at the end of your arm".
you really need to add a couple spoke shaves to your tool box .. those would have made your scoop project a joy to behold .. a few min with the spoke shave and one min on the sander and you would be done .. a spoke shave also gives you some feedback to how the shape is evolving while your using it ... You probably already know this and just did not think to use one or did not have yours sharp and ready to go for this project .. I love how they turned out and that band saw sure did you proud .. you have that set up well to get such even cuts over such a tall height. Thanks for showing us that ...
Jay Bates I cut up the wood, glued it together, drew out the shape. Get to the band saw and start my cut when "pling" my blade broke, looks like it let go at the weld. So I ordered another blade. That is about the way the woodshop crumbles. :-) I will send a pick after I get it done.
Karl Druschke Plus Sunday evening is work day for me because I am working on a Japan project for work. My Sunday night is Monday morning there and so on.
Your shirt reminded me of something my grandfather, who was a successful business man, used to say. People would always tell him how luck he was that his grocery stores made such good money, and he'd always say "yeah I found out the harder I worked, the luckier I got."
BTW...Jay, you have come A LONG way! I started watching you when you made your first router table. I think it was made out of one of those cheap TV stands with the double glass doors on the front. You have become an amazing woodworker, and I enjoy the hell out of each video!! I wait for your video's to publish like I wait for my next ShopNotes magazine to come in the mail!
These are really cool man. I need to make one for scooping out and weighing grains. I do this for beer making quite often and a big scoop would come in handy! Thanks for the idea.
Loving it! I have wood lathe, so I'd be inclined to take the inside block and turn a handle before gluing it back together. In fact, you might be able to turn the whole thing, and part it with the bandsaw to make 2 scoops.
I really like the way you made those scoops and the video, nicely edited and to the point. I noticed you had a orbital sander clamped up some how! I would watch a video on how that got out together.
That incessant music makes me want to drive off a bridge. But that aside, kudos on a brilliant idea. When I saw the headline, I thought to myself - how in the hell is he going to make a scoop with a bandsaw. Great job, Jay!
Hey Jay: As I watched this ... and working mostly on a lathe... creativity started to bloom...Don't know if it will come to anything... but bloom it did...my band saw is a lot smaller.... but I'll let you know... Thanks for sharing Larry
I've needed to make a scoop... now I just need to figure out how to make one since I don't have a bandsaw... I can make the side cuts with a table saw... I'm gonna have to cut the bottom portion off and glue it back on... no biggie. Thanks for the video and thanks to Patrick for the idea.
The larger scoop would lend itself quiet well to being used as a dustpan I think, or if you made a bunch of these and cut off the back part that would make the handle with a sloping cut you could then screw and glue them to a board to act as bins for parts, you could add a French cleat to the back of the board to hang it on the wall system you already have in your shop!! : )
Nice technique! I'll give that a try. This is just a thought that occurred to me as I was watching and I think I'll do this when I have a bash at it: On the section you form into a handle, how about cutting an internal radius on the inner end so that the scoop forms a pleasing curve at the back rather than a right angle corner?
Follow up......I don't really hate that music in particular, I hate all music in youtube vids,,,, especially when it too loud. Jay, my compliments on everything else you do.
nice idea for creating a scoop. have to let you know as a classical music buff i really enjoyed the simple piano piece rather than the normal high energy noise on so many vids.
Very shallow bandsaw blade recommended (as shown)! Try doing that with a 1/2" blade :( To speed-up handle shaping, you might want to try a Japanese shinto saw rasp -> fast material removal on coarse side. Alternatively try a bit of knife carving with a very sharp knife, e.g. with a Mora sloyd/woodcarving knife (such as the 106 or 120) or an American pocket knife. Or a chisel!
Thanks you did a good job. Lots of young guys your age are out doing stuff they shouldn't be doing but you seem to be doing it right. I sound like and old man, don't I?
Here's an easy and fun bandsaw project. Bandsaw Scoops! Article here: www.jayscustomcreations.com/?p=5370
nice to see you use the bandsaw like you did, so many people try to do everything just using a tablesaw. thanks for the idea.
You're very welcome Mr.Ed. Thanks to Patrick for originally sharing it.
Recently got a bandsaw, so I'm looking for project ideas. Thanks!
Very cool scoops,I'll have to try that.
Those turned out very cool.
This looks like a fun project! The scoops turned out very nice! And as always you have to love free material! Thanks!
Chris
Imagine how many different scoops you can make for your 2 X 4 project contest?
Free is OK with me!
THANKS JAY. I LIKE THE IDEA OF ONE PIECE AND THEN SHAPING IT INSTEAD OF A GLUE UP OF THE SIDES AND BACK. THANKS
You're very welcome and thanks for watching Alan.
You're my hero. I see boxsprings illegally dumped all the time and ponder picking it up for the wood but haven't done so yet. I got a basement full of salvage wood, love reuse!

Awesome. Batman is my hero :)
Came back as a refresher in 2018!! Thanks Jay!!
Love the t-shirt you wore at the beginning of the video: "Good things come to those who work their asses off and never give up".
My dad had a saying very much like that: "If you ever find yourself in need of a helping hand, the only one you can truly rely on is at the end of your arm".
Very well said! I like that one.
Very nice scoops. And it looks like a fun project to make. It always surprises me how straight are the cuts a band saw can make.
I love this bandsaw. Works great. But honestly the blade is what will make a great cut.
Man! Your workshop then and now... wow, what a difference! ;)
Excellent project and a fine use of reclaimed wood, you are a true master of your art sir. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind words Sir!
Such a great project & I enjoyed that you stayed on point. Made it easy to watch.
Great project Jay! I love the way you salvage wood and make useful items. Thumbs up !
This is a really great technique. And GREAT use of salvaged wood! Thanks for the video Jay.
You're very welcome Alistair. Thank you for watching.
After cutting 6" of oak end grain, your band saw deserves a raise! That was impressive!
you really need to add a couple spoke shaves to your tool box .. those would have made your scoop project a joy to behold .. a few min with the spoke shave and one min on the sander and you would be done .. a spoke shave also gives you some feedback to how the shape is evolving while your using it ...

Thanks for showing us that ...
Excellent video production and quality. Very nice to watch!
That was a great idea and I can think of a number other sizes that would be useful for coffee and sugar! Well done.
Awesome project and what a great find for salvaging wood. I have to keep a better eye out for junk.
Free wood is everywhere!
Wow Jay, These are beautiful! I know what I am building today! Thanks for sharing this with us!
So....it's 12 hours later....did you make any? :)
Jay Bates I cut up the wood, glued it together, drew out the shape. Get to the band saw and start my cut when "pling" my blade broke, looks like it let go at the weld. So I ordered another blade. That is about the way the woodshop crumbles. :-) I will send a pick after I get it done.

Nice easy project and the wood was free. you can't beat free.
Thanks Jay,
Roland
free wood is some of the best type of wood...lol
Yes and it has a nice grain pattern. LOL
Sure, you can beat free -- when they pay you to take it... lol ;)
lol, so tru. I havent found one of those folks yet tho...lol
Very inspiring! Your shop has to be the tidiest on RUclips and your machines look immaculate. I like that.
Cool logo too! Keep up the good work
Love it! Not only the beautiful scoops but also the fact that you salvage all that wood. What in the world are you going to use the scoops for?
I gave the smaller scoops away and kept the larger scoop for dog food. Feeding the dogs in style now :)
That's not a bad idea. My dogs need a food scoop!

Love your channel Jay. Thanks for sharing these great ideas
Thank you Sergio. And thank you for watching.
Great work Jay! I really liked the scoops and will probably give it try shortly.
Cool. Thanks for watching Rick.
Great job Jay, nice job salvaging the wood.
instablaster.
Your shirt reminded me of something my grandfather, who was a successful business man, used to say. People would always tell him how luck he was that his grocery stores made such good money, and he'd always say "yeah I found out the harder I worked, the luckier I got."
Yup. Nothing works unless you do!
Thanks Jay! That was cool! Always watch your videos in the past when I came across them but now I'm subscribed!
Perfect combination of Music/talk! Excellent video!
BTW...Jay, you have come A LONG way! I started watching you when you made your first router table. I think it was made out of one of those cheap TV stands with the double glass doors on the front. You have become an amazing woodworker, and I enjoy the hell out of each video!! I wait for your video's to publish like I wait for my next ShopNotes magazine to come in the mail!
Very cool man. I appreciate the kind words.
So simple but rewarding and functional
Thanks, these would be good gifts. Appreciate your salvage efforts also..
Thanks Rob. Free and good wood is everywhere.
Awsome video! Just purchased a 10 inch bandsaw but haven't set it up yet. Am looking forward to doing it once I make room.
Good job. I can't wait to try. I did visit Patrick's channel and he does a great job also. Thanks for the ideas.
Those look great. I'm in love with your bandsaw
Me too!! Great saw for the money.
Excellent! I wouldn't of thought of doing that either.... Great idea and another great video. Cheers...
Cool idea! What a fun project.
Fun project indeed. :)
Really like the music and how you edited it in time (beat) with your workmanship.
Thanks Jay, Great vid as always. I hopped on over to Patricks page and checked his video as well. Thanks for sharing as always.
Thanks for watching Robert.
Great work and good for you recycling lumber that was on its way to the dump!
Love your videos Jay! Some great ideas, and easy enough for a beginner!
These are really cool man. I need to make one for scooping out and weighing grains. I do this for beer making quite often and a big scoop would come in handy! Thanks for the idea.
Great project Jay, never would have thought of it either.
Nice project Jay,
Very simple and totally open to interpretation.
Regards,
Bob
Nice, effective use of the salvaged wood...
Amazing skills! All from a headboard.
Awesome! This may be what I do first when I get a bandsaw.
Probably the easiest bandsaw project I can think of.
Yeah, looks more forgiving than going straight to bandsaw boxes. Thanks for sharing!
Love the scoops easily made another to add to my ever growing todo list for next xmas presents cheers love your vids.
cool project and I love your T-shirt!
Nice job and nice scoops
Thanks for showing this Jay I look forward to tying to make some once I have access to the workshop :-)
Thanks Steave, I will check it out :-)
The extra long vise on the table is pretty slick.
New subscriber here. Great idea! Thank you for sharing. I would've never thought of this either.
i love these older videos when you salvage stuff and repurpose it.
Loving it!
I have wood lathe, so I'd be inclined to take the inside block and turn a handle before gluing it back together.
In fact, you might be able to turn the whole thing, and part it with the bandsaw to make 2 scoops.
I really like the way you made those scoops and the video, nicely edited and to the point. I noticed you had a orbital sander clamped up some how! I would watch a video on how that got out together.
Party foul at 3:55 haha. Love your videos man. Great editing and great ideas.
I like this. Looks fun to do.
That incessant music makes me want to drive off a bridge. But that aside, kudos on a brilliant idea. When I saw the headline, I thought to myself - how in the hell is he going to make a scoop with a bandsaw. Great job, Jay!
Thanks. Please don't drive and listen to this music.
Great video. Thanks for sharing (also to Patrick). I should try to make this. A smaller one though because of the capacity of my
band saw.
Hey Jay:
As I watched this ... and working mostly on a lathe... creativity started to bloom...Don't know if it will come to anything... but bloom it did...my band saw is a lot smaller.... but I'll let you know...
Thanks for sharing
Larry
Please share if something comes from it :)
Very nice work.
Thank you Jay, great video.
You're very welcome J. Thanks for watching.
Beautiful work!
Love this idea! I'm going to put some together
I think you would have liked a spoke shaver for this project-unless you prefer to use planers and files. This is a cool project! Thanks for sharing!
Those are beautiful......
very nice Jay
Nice work on the scoops young man.....
I've needed to make a scoop... now I just need to figure out how to make one since I don't have a bandsaw...
I can make the side cuts with a table saw... I'm gonna have to cut the bottom portion off and glue it back on... no biggie.
Thanks for the video and thanks to Patrick for the idea.
Awesome. Shoot me some pics if you make a table saw version.
Top job. Going to have to try that.
Awesome. Share some pics if you do!
Very cool Jay.
Man ur talented. Aspiring wood worker myself. From Mississippi.. Bates... U kin to Jeff Bates. ( singer). 😎
The larger scoop would lend itself quiet well to being used as a dustpan I think, or if you made a bunch of these and cut off the back part that would make the handle with a sloping cut you could then screw and glue them to a board to act as bins for parts, you could add a French cleat to the back of the board to hang it on the wall system you already have in your shop!!
: )
I thought about making a super wide scoop for a dust pan but decided three would be better. Thanks for watching John.
Glad to see I'm not the only one garbage picking... er, salvaging... good usable lumber! ;)
+Chris Walker dumpster diving! I've even done it in Kuwait!
Just what I need a scoop for chicken feed. It looks like it will last forever, not like the plastic ones. Thanks for the project!
What did you use as a finish? I'm going to make a small coffee scoop and not sure what to use as a finish. Thank you for all you do here.
Nice, easy project, Sir. Well done! (Oh, and thank you for the decent music too!)
Good project jay very nice your bandsaw is a keeper
All the best Robbie
The bandsaw is definitely a keeper.
Great work!!, thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome Francisco. Thank you for watching as always.
Nice job as always !!!
Good job Jay.
Steve
Great project jay
Thank you Paulo. And thanks for watching.
Nice technique! I'll give that a try. This is just a thought that occurred to me as I was watching and I think I'll do this when I have a bash at it: On the section you form into a handle, how about cutting an internal radius on the inner end so that the scoop forms a pleasing curve at the back rather than a right angle corner?
Perfect great idea
Thanks Tom.
beautiful work. the music was great to listen to :-)
Very nice!
what a scooper idea
Follow up......I don't really hate that music in particular, I hate all music in youtube vids,,,, especially when it too loud. Jay, my compliments on everything else you do.
Jay, what is the brand of your table saw? I cant find any of this full metal tables on brazillian websites
Do a band saw box with heart drawer pull for Valentine's day. Probably get tons of views.
nice idea for creating a scoop. have to let you know as a classical music buff i really enjoyed the simple piano piece rather than the normal high energy noise on so many vids.
I enjoy all kinds of music. If it moves you its good :) Thanks for watching Tayler.

I have no life :)
Love it ……But how did you cut the square ?
Here in 2020! What kind of finish did you apply?
Is the bandsaw a Wen ? If so what model? Would you recommend?
What blade do you use in your bandsaw? That cuts like a warm knife through soft butter!
Thanks, for sharing!!!
