Woodworking # 31- Pencil Holders

[Pedrofreestyle97]

How else could you resaw hardwood if you don't have a bandsaw?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Pedrofreestyle97 With a hand saw and a lot of sweat. :)

[Pedrofreestyle97]

On the sides, could you use a router and a 45 degree chamfering bit to make the mitres instead of cutting them?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Pedrofreestyle97 Sure.

[Pedrofreestyle97]

@TheWoodWhisperer okay thanks alot and great project :)

[Pedrofreestyle97]

How else could you cut the 45 degree mitres if you don't have a table saw?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Pedrofreestyle97 miter saw would be a good choice, but you'd have to come up with a safe way to do it. The pieces are a little small. You can also use the bandsaw but you'd have some cleanup to do. Lastly, a good old handsaw. But on small parts like this, in my hands the handsaw cut would be a little messy, lol.

[Pedrofreestyle97]

@TheWoodWhisperer Okay thanks. I made a practice MDF version of this and used a jigsaw and that wasn't too bad. But I thnik i'm going to try hardwood next and i want the best possible result:)

[Strykercom1]

do you have any tips for milling lacewood? ive heard it can get pretty bad tear out with a planer

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Strykercom1 make sure your blades are sharp and take light passes. If tearout is excessive, you might need to surface the material using a drum sander instead of a planer.

[Pedrofreestyle97]

how would you cut the the wood length ways without a bandsaw? could yuo use a jigsaw?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Pedrofreestyle97 Are you talking about the resawing cut? That would be very tricky with a jigsaw and I wouldn't recommend it. You are probably better off using the tablesaw with a tall fence.

[Pedrofreestyle97]

@TheWoodWhisperer yes for the side pieces is there no other way because i don't have a table saw either? or can you buy hard wood that isn't as thick a yours was to start with?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Pedrofreestyle97 you sure can. Look for project packs and just ask your local dealer if you can get it pre-milled to thickness.

[Pedrofreestyle97]

@TheWoodWhisperer okay thanks for the help!! your videos are awesome!!

[Pedrofreestyle97]

where do you get all your exotic woods from?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@Pedrofreestyle97 My local hardwood dealer carries them. There are several in my area but you can also find good stuff online at places like Bell Forest and Horizon.

[Pedrofreestyle97]

@TheWoodWhisperer ok thanks

I don't know why but 3 people can't make this

[freddyyfanny1]

i´ll use a traductor

first congratulations for yours vids,

i begin to interesting me for de carpenter

i like do woofers boxes,and is very important make perfect cuts,,

My question is ,how can i do perfect straight cut?,,if the sides of the wood is not perfect.. at moment when i do the cut,, the side that slid along the guide side is imperfect,,so then the new cut is imperfect ..

how i resolve these problem?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@freddyyfanny1 Well, you have to get a straight edge somehow. Most woodworkers will use a jointer or a jointer plane to do this. You can also use a saw with a straight guide. Once you have a nice straight edge to work with, you can then use that edge up against the fence to create a perfectly parallel edge.

[freddyyfanny1]

Un saludo

Amigo veo que eres todo un profesional,

Tengo una duda,

Si tienes una madera rectangular, pero sus lados son irregulares ,,,como haces para hacer un corte recto, y que quede perfecto,

Me pregunto esto,por que al pasar la madera por la guia de la sierra, el corte sera igual al de el lado que esta pegando a la guia no?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@freddyyfanny1 No hablo español.

[BikeManDan1]

Clever trick with the packing tape, thanks

[pkiriakou]

12:00 no glue at the sides?

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@pkiriakou look closely and you'll see the glue.

[DuMb666SkUlL]

the walnut and paduk would make a good holder i think

[toolinmaine]

Nice project. I love your videos. Also, Nicole is hott.

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@toolinmaine lol thanks on both accounts. :)

[lasse88]

Thanks for the video! Btw: you look like Ron Swanson with that mustasch. Kickass.

[TheWoodWhisperer]

@lasse88 lol Ron Swanson! That guy is awesome!

[WII7191FAN]

I made lots of these for my family and they loved it. Thanks for the video, and keep up the great work.

[holdemNE1]

17:25 - Push down and twist. Think about opening a can of tomato sauce.

I use a can opener to open a can of tomato sauce. Furthermore, I open a jar of tomato sauce by turning counter-clockwise unlike you were doing. Just busting your chops. Nice little project, just save the spaghetti cooking for Nicole.

[picklehead7]

A squirt of compressed air serves to push glue/epoxy deep into a crack in the work.

[torgy91766]

i m going to make some but i was thinking that i could put one of those neo. magnets on the inside. so they could stick paper clips to it

[kippers15]

The thing I hate most of our Wood Working projects in my Ag class is the old ban saw because the blade slips and has cut me several times

[rzazzzz]

great project, I'll think I'll give it a try.

[crickey7301]

Beautiful work! just wandering what finish did you use on the box.

[TheWoodWhisperer]

I'm just going to save us all the trouble and start pronouncing it Hymenaea courbaril

[TretasYT]

I noticed you pronounce "jatobá" as "ha-tow-ba". It's actually pronounced "zhah-toh-bah" or "jah-toh-bah". It's a Brazilian / Portuguese word, derived from an indian word, it's not Spanish, so the "j" is pronounced as in Portuguese (j / zh).

[khmerboy6969]

I wish I had all them wood tools so that I could make something cool like this. That would be pretty fun.

[rtmmince]

do you no a good website to ordar wood from i have 1 but they dont have the best solection.

[evilkate666]

i want a serving wench!!!

[hammerofharpel]

Very neat project. Way to go! Thank you. You put a huge amount of time into this! Videos look professional.

[entmage]

what is yellow-heart used for?

[hammerofharpel]

Uses:

Pau Amarello or Yellowheart, is a yellow exotic wood used predominately as a craftwood ..... cabinets, furniture, flooring and decorative turnings, particularly in inlays when a colour contrast is desired. Its bright yellow colour, gives it great appeal, for specialty woodworkers that are looking for an exotic wood to highlight their woodcraft project.

[Texasred63]

Dude you got some great big boy toys!!! I will have to try this sometime!
