  • As we get into the holiday mood at the White Lab Workshop, I thought it would be fun to make a holiday-themed project. With a twist. For this week's woodworking video, I'll show you how to make some DIY home decor wooden snowflakes. The twist is that they will use more interesting joinery than just brad nails. Overlapping joints and dowels will hold these snowflakes together, with the help of some glue.
    Materials and tools used:
    3/4 inch by 3/4 inch square dowels - Pick them up at the home center or mill them yourself
    3/8 inch dowel
    Craftsman table saw
    Dado stack (though the dados could be cut with a router or other means)
    Dewalt sliding miter saw
    Titebond II wood glue (polyurethane glue would work well too, if your joints have some play in them)

    Hi Brent, Wow what a job. These turned out great with the special help of the young ones. What wonderful memories.

      I wasn’t actually sure if these would work. It was kind of an experiment in joinery for me, which was fun. Plus, any time in the shop with my kids is a bonus! Thank you for watching, Rita!

      Thanks Grant! It’s awesome having all these helpers. They do get kind of expensive, though. Always demanding food and a place to live. They do good work, so I guess I’ll let them stay...

    Love the snowflakes!! Thinking maybe some glitter on them would make them sparkle although it can become a nuisance!

    • @WhiteLabWorkshop
      @WhiteLabWorkshop  4 года назад

      Thank you! I suspect there are members of my family that would agree with you, though they aren’t the same members that would have to deal with the glitter getting everywhere...

      Haha! Thanks, Richard! Good to hear you made it through the geometry section without any major incidences. I honestly wasn’t sure if it would work at first. It was a pleasant surprise!

      Unfortunately, I have to admit that life got in the way of my intentions of posting plans for these thus far. Hopefully the video gives you enough to go on. It’s a fun project! Enjoy the process!
