Absolutely tremendous! I was woodwork monitor at middle school, and loved wood. Somehow I'm an electric and gas engineer, at 54. I lost my job last year due to ill health. Now I'm back working with wood, and loving it.
Getting back to your roots! There’s something so meditative about wood working for me. It just makes life better Thanks and I’m glad you enjoyed the video!!
When I first saw you drilling the holes for the handle I couldn't figure out what you were doing until later in the video and I have to say buddy that's some good planning on your part to pre dill those first and still have them end up in the right place when it's done excellent work!
You prolly won’t believe me but it was in a junk pile on side of the road! It instantly caught my eye. Felt very solid seemed like it had been kept under shelter since it was cut down (it’s usually moldy and spongy on the side that lays on the ground in open weather here in florida) so I threw 2/3 of the whole tree in my truck bed and it’s been setting in my garage since! Thanks David!
Pardner...we need to get you a bandsaw and wood carver...very nice but exhausting work...first a tumbler out of coffee beans then a coffee mug...do I sense a theme here😀 ... stay safe...press on 😎 Joe
Yeah, no kidding! Maybe that’ll be my next video- power carved coffee mug. It’d be a lot less painful on both me and the audience 😂 We’re a coffee drinkin family. Comes at a cost though… of about $10/bag! But totally worth it Thanks again Joe! Enjoy
That looks like Banyan tree. The size of that mug indicates where the energy came from to use a crosscut hand saw that much. I can hear the bet now: "Annnd I can do it without a bow saw." :) Good work!
Beautiful piece of spalted beech you started with right there. I do more turning myself and carving is a bit of a mystery to me but this is really nice
Loved this. Thank you for sharing it. At the end, the video links pop up and cover up part of the video. I'd really like a few more seconds to admire the mug before the links pop up.
@@PrestonsProjects some of the best wood I have found for turning came from burn piles. It's amazing how many people don't even realize how beautiful spalted wood and burls are under the surface. They both are my favorite to turn.
@@PrestonsProjects Ive not turned driftwood though I have done stuff with it. I like its character in the way the elements left it. Does it get good grain character? always seems to washed out to me for that.
@@rallywagon261 honestly, it depends on what you come across. Most of the time, you’re right, the grain almost seems to disappear. But I’ve gotten into some sappy (sometimes burled) knot areas on driftwood and the grains were like nothing I’ve seen before. This is mostly cedar and cypress driftwood I’m talking about. I don’t have much experience with other types.
I can't believe you didn't bring in the chisel LONG before you finally did! All that manual saw business seems a bit much, as well! Please consider using a bandsaw or, maybe, a decent japanese-style pull saw... I'm HIGHLY encouraging you pitch the tiny saw and pick up a good rasp (Shinto), too. Not much money, and you would GREATLY improve the pleasure of the project.
Thanks god we have the way to make this process less painful now at days 🤷♀ I wondering how long did it take he never said and also what kind of wood was used hopefully someday we will know
It works very well. Nothing's more satisfying than finishing a successful project off with a nice coat of oil. This is spalted oak so the grains are extraordinary once oil is applied.
@@PrestonsProjects that is fascinating. I would love to know how the founders of this "proven fact" quantified taste. Taste is a matter of opinion and, therefore cannot be measured. 20 percent of an absolute in an illogical integer. Saying "coffee tastes exactly this good, but from a wooden mug it tastes another 20 "taste units" better. And to some the taste of coffee is disagreeable and bad so how are they eliminated from the equation? I am not being disrespectful or argumentative and I am not disputing your word. I am just curious as to how the number 20 percent was arrived at.
Thanks for the video, it was great and satisfying to watch. However, you have used beeswax oil and when I searched about it I found out that it is non food grade? am I right?
I certainly wouldn’t use a wax finish for direct contact with a hot liquid like coffee. If I was going to use that wood for an actual coffee mug I’d get an insert made to handle hot liquids and bore the hole to match the OD of the insert. I’d also probably stabilize the wood part with cactus juice or something so it doesn’t deteriorate from regular use.

Duuude my arms hurt just watching this. Awesome job
I did enough hurtin to confidently put this disclaimer out there: don’t try this at home!!
Must be a heavy cell phone
Watch the first minute asking is this guy just gonna use hand tool to cut a log that old?
@@PrestonsProjects good reson to do it
😂😂

One more talented human being on my nonexistent list of underrated artists / woodworkers
haha thanks!
Really just came here to give you props for sawing through that thing by hand. Well done.
Hahah Thanks! It was very tedious
Lmao as soon as I seen the preview I was like props too cause I've done so with a crappy and amazing 🪚 both are hards if no elbow grease is used 😎😂

Thanks Bradley! I was trying to come up with an interesting way to do it. Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@PrestonsProjects Definitely enjoyed it, keep it up bud inspires me in my own woodworking projects 👍👍👍
Watching you saw that log by hand reminded my forearms of when I laid hardwood flooring, the aching begins 😂
I commend that wonderful spalted white oak, your skill and your patience!
Great project, thanks for sharing

@@PrestonsProjects I believe it. Sometimes the most beautiful things are hidden.
Very true!
Man huge respect to you for all that hand sawing
Still the best workout i've gotten this year!
Great job and very different way to aproch it from others videos i see. Well done congratulations
That spalting!! 👌👌 excellent choice of project for that piece of timber this turned out amazing. Great job mate

Can't argue with that! Thanks again :)
Holy moly dude, that was something else and you did it with minimal power tools. 👍👍👏
Love watching these videos at 2x playing speed. :)

I’ve got a friend of mine Danny Smith and Antioch makes knives in a similar fashion all by hand incredible I have five of them love them all

Also just gonna say, you must have absolutely SHREDDED arms after doing that much sawing...

Noted!
Thanks for sharing this amazing video!!
No problem! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
AMAZING. WELL DONE ‼️‼️‼️
Thanks Bettie :)
Absolutely amazing!
When i saw ypu break out the handsaw in the beginning i cried and almost sent you an electric chainsaw.
Stay strong bro!
So much wood for that beautiful coffee cup. :)
Nice work! I'm a little bit sceptical, do water go through the bottom? I have tried to do same from spalted birch and it didn't work
Nicely done!
Only the manliest of men are able to use a spade bit in a drill press like that 💪💪
Thanks for sharing I enjoyed the video
Thanks Kim :)
Amazing. Now I know what to do with the big parts of my cutted walnut tree. It's a good project for the winter. 😂
Раз -два и готово😁, мастерски проделана работа👍
Absolutely incredible 👏 🙌
Well done!🤯😱💯
Cheers🤘🤠🥃
Thank you!!
Прекрасная работа! Молодец!👍👍👍
Dear god. I’m happy and mostly sad to see that I am not the only one cutting big logs with a hand saw… I feel you brother. Fun but damn!
... да-ушь!, заморочился с работой, но оно того стоило, молорик, давно не видел ни чего подобного!!!
Есть причина, по которой люди используют электроинструменты вместо ручных - я просто делаю это для зрителей! Спасибо!!
Sawman man of labor.
This came pretty nice. A lot of work but nice. Spalted wood always looks amazing.
It absolutely does. I found this log in a rubbish pile on side of the road. Perfect use of the phrase one mans trash is another mans treasure

Very impressive artwork
Nice. I did one a while back, I come in the next day and it cracked. Not sure if it was do dry or to wet. Sucks, cause it was old barn beam I used.
Yeah I was quick to add oil to this one so it could slowwwwlllyyy dry out and not crack. Try adding oil right when you open up the beam next time!
👍 Молодец. Классная кружка. Дерево какое?
Похоже на шпальт клёна.
Great sharing
Thank you!
Dam that looks a cheap saw too. You have arms of steel. Awesome looks brilliant
Woooow! What kind of wood is that?? It's so gorgeous!
Milk and 2 sugar please 😋
Good job
Haha I'll take one as well!
Thanks!

It's TOP 👍🔥
What do you think: is it possible to make a large hole with a hand tool?
Great job! Enjoying your channel a lot. That Feed and Wax stuff is the best, I use it on everything too :)
Thank you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the content :)
Wonderful! Cheers
I appreciate it!
Perfecto trabajo amigo 👏👏👏 felicitaciones 👏👏👏
Thank you!!
Very cool!
you should make a handle for the Sawzall blade. make it a real hand tool. love the cup!!!!
Love it!
Thanks Eric!
That feed and wax really brought out the grain.
It works very well. Nothing's more satisfying than finishing a successful project off with a nice coat of oil. This is spalted oak so the grains are extraordinary once oil is applied.
Hello. Very good.
What wood did you use?
Thank you.
Good job well done
Thanks. It required me burning many calories!
Beautiful 💯😎🤙
Thank you!!
Do you save some of that pulp from drilling to use as a wood filler?
Good idea!
Is that wax\wood conditioner food safe for use with hot liquids?
Parabéns amigo. Pela criatividade show
Thank you!
what kind of wood did you use? It has an interesting structure
Wow. Fuck doing all that with a hand saw! Hats off to you for that, mate!
Also, absolutely beautiful timber.
I totally agree with you!! 😂
Thanks Nicholas!
nice, didn't it split since you got the core of the wood in the mug?
Will it be able to stand boiling hot coffee or will it weaken the wood?
The only thing getting weakened around here are my jello arms from the 5 hours of sawing.
So to answer your question, yes it will hold up.
Is that that harbor freight table? Because damnit it works great haha
After all that intense labour, I hope you cherish that mug for the rest of your life and pass it down for generations to come 😂
For real... It will be around for a while
what amazes me he works with a hand saw
Мне бы твоё терпение. Очень крутая работа
Excelente labor
That fellow wanted a cup of coffee very badly .
It’s a proven fact that drinking coffee from a handmade mug makes it taste 20% better

Looks gorgeous! Just the guide i was looking for! Every other guide is just bandsaw, router, bleh bleh
Órale que paciencia para hacer arte!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How much for a set of espresso mugs or cups like tea cups
Is it Dishwasher & Microwave safe?
I really do admire your tenacity, but it was very painful to watch. Where can we send donations so you can buy a power Carver? Lol
If your goal is to help save my arms, unfortunately it’s too late. This project was too much for them to handle.
A nice powered sawzaw* to go with the white blade you were using at times would do wonders to save the arms 😁
*Edit for spelling
Super
Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous piece.. but that's definitely not for me as long as I have access to electricity
Nice, can i ask which Wood?
Spalted oak!
@@PrestonsProjects Thanks, Greetings from Austria
In russian is name as "шпальт" - touchwood damaged with fungus. It is wery beautiful. But how it sefety for use for mug?
There’s no health hazards associated with it!
@@PrestonsProjects this is good :)
Wow!
Super 🥰
Thanks!
Question: It holds water or coffee?

I admire your work ethic brother...can you say "ALL PURPOSE TOOL?"🤔🤔🤔
How long did it last ?
belo trabalho .
what is the finish on this?
The wood was a hard wood ... But it was lovely patterned
I wasn’t sure but my arms definitely found out that it’s a hardwood 🤣
I still can’t move them!
This is not a coffee mug anymore. This is a tankard
What kind of wood is that?
Spalted ok
Oak**
Dude.. that's a beautiful mug! Boyo dang I know your thing is carving but, buy a electric chainsaw a save those hands and arms! Really good project!
A rasp would work great for this
that big log for a cup? is it normal?
super tare
Thank you!!
