How to Make a Treasure Chest
In my freshman wood shop class, we built these treasure chests from a single pine board. Since then, my original chest broke and I’m in the shop this week to make an exact duplicate. All you need is 1- 1×6 that is 8′ long. With the proper layout, you can get
How to Make a Christmas Ornament
This week I decided it would be a great chance to make some Christmas ornaments on my scroll saw. You can find many scroll saw templates on google images, but I recommend going to Steve Good’s website. Once I found a few designs that I liked, I
Tools I Recommend for Beginners
A lot of people ask me, “I’m getting into woodworking, what should be the first tool I purchase?” To help answer that question, I’ve made a specific video to break down every tool I recommend. I tried to give a brief explanation of
How to Make a Boombox
This week I’m back in my basement (Michigan winters are cold in the garage!) making a boombox for my room. I thought it would be a fun idea and I recently got some speakers from an old TV we were throwing out. I saved the screws that mounted the
How to Make Wood Shelves
This week I made an extremely sturdy shelf that you can put in your garage or basement. I started by cutting all my 2×4’s down to their final sizes. From there, I began to assemble the frame for the shelf using 2.5″ wood screws and wood glue to get the
How to Make a Spring Clamp Rack
This spring clamp rack is a simple, but effective little project. I just grabbed a scrap of 2×4 and some leftover 1″ dowel I had laying around the shop. I started by cutting a scrap piece of 2×4 down to roughly 10″ and drilled 2 holes in it for the dowels to
How to Make a Hockey Rebounder (Old)
This week I made a hockey puck re-bounder. I saw so many online that costed a $100.00 for a piece of plastic with a bungee cord. I couldn’t live with myself if I spent that much money on something I could make for $6.00. So I went out to the shop and found
How to Change a Bandsaw Blade
Since I did a goofy video for Halloween, I thought I would upload a little video showing you guys how to replace the blade on your bandsaw. Even though this is a bench-top bandsaw, the process is basically the same as a full sized bandsaw. You can find all the
Halloween Special
Happy Halloween! I thought it would be funny to make a video using the meat cleaver I made in last weeks video. I’ll be uploading an actual woodworking related video tomorrow so be sure to stay tuned for that. Let me know if you want to see more videos like
How to Make a Halloween Meat Cleaver
I thought it would be a cool idea to make a meat cleaver since Halloween was coming up. I just made a simple outline that you can download below and cut it out on my scroll saw. I used 3/4″ MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) and gave it some paint. To add
Woodworking Nut Channel Trailer 2013
This is the old trailer video I made for my channel. It’s just a simple video saying who I am and what I do. It was made to promote my channel and it would automatically play when new viewers would click on my channel. If you like what you see, please don’t
How to Make a Halloween Cat
Halloween is right around the corner so I thought it would be a fun idea to make a typical Halloween cat that could sit in the window. After I made it, I thought it would be even cooler if it could play music, so that’s what I did. I soldered a speaker and
How to Make a Fall Pumpkin Decoration
This week I decided to restore and old fall decoration I had. I really liked the decoration, but we lost all the pumpkins on it. Luckily, we still had the post that was painted green with all of the decorations on it. Making the post is really simple if you don’t have
How to Make a Ping Pong Paddle (Old)
This week I decided to make a ping pong paddle. I thought it would be a fun project and it’s pretty easy to make as well. I used black grip tape on one side and red sandpaper on the other. If I were to make the paddle again, I would’ve chose an extremely high
How to Make a Longboard (Old)
After making the cruiser board for my friend, I decided it would be cool to make a longboard. It is basically the same concept as the cruiser board, except you don’t need to make a curve for the tail on this one. I was actually commissioned to build this
How to Make a Whirligig
This whirligig was model after Steve Ramsey’s whirligig he made a while back. The concept stayed the same, but the theme was the main change. I decided to go with Matthew Stafford throwing a football. I painted it Lions colors and it was all made
How to Make a Push Stick
Today I’m going to be making a push stick for my table saw. A push stick is an absolute necessity for anybody that is going to be operating a table saw, router table, jointer, etc. It allows you to extend your grip when pushing a piece of stock through your
How to Make a Cruiser Board (Old)
This week my friend asked me if I could make something similar to a Penny Board, but he wanted it to be wood instead of plastic. So of course I said yes and went to work right away. The hardest part of this project was figuring out how I would get the bend in
How to Make a Strong Workbench (Old)
This week I received a 2′ wide by 10′ section of counter top for free, so I decided it would be the perfect top for a new workbench. I started this project out by cutting all my 2×4’s down to their final dimensions. I used wood glue and screws to
How to Make a Small Wood Shelf
This week I’m making a simple wood shelf that I painted brown. This is actually a pretty cool project if you made it out of a nice wood and gave it a nice finish. This shelf was really easy to make and if you routed the edges with a nice bit, it would help dress
How to Make an iPod Charging Dock
This week I found this project on Steve Good’s website and I thought it would be a cool little project to share with you guys. It’s not a only a stand for your iPod or iPhone, but it’s also a charging dock! It works great and you can cut this project out on the
How to Make a Trophy
This week I’m in the shop building a rack to hold and store baseball bats. I’m just doing a real simple, but practical design to hold 6 of our baseball bats that we have. This project doesn’t require a lot of wood and if you paint it, it has the potential to look really
