3 Easy To Make Woodworking Projects That Sell | DIY Gifts

So not only is this vid helpful to a backyard wood maker but your times of being a regular guy forgetting something makes me smile and feel good that I'm not the only one out there.

As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement youtube.com/post/UgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdU… . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!

LOL! Thank you for leaving in the little bloopers! Nice to see we all slip up here and there

I’m glad you add in all the compilations that come with trade work. Not everything goes smooth all of the time

I sound like you when I'm doing stuff in my shop. I'm constantly talking and explaining how I'm screwing up, but to the cat. He doesn't even subscribe, jerk.

I love the pallet coasters, I'm going to try making a strip of 20 of them and just cut them out instead of glueing one by one.

The hard oil and wax finish on the little pallet coasters looks best to me. You are so right about forgetting the screws, it does definitely happen! The contrasting little handle on the wine box was a nice touch.

Love the wine box and the coasters, I prefer the spray on finish on the coasters andI liked the quarter inch chamfer better than the larger chamfer on the pen/pencil holder all three projects turned out nice.

I have made a few of the wine boxes myself. You could have mitered your corners to allow the wood grain to match on 3 of the 4 corners and “waterfall” the piece. A small difference to make the project a lot better. Then if you wanted to keep the dowel accents, rockler makes a corner jig which looks cool.

Those small holes could be covered with the same plugs you used for the screws. Very fine job on all projects. Thanks for sharing.

I like to see a woodworker using more of the job site tools I’m used to like a chop saw, Brad gun, and even a multi tool. And even sharing a sore back carrying that same planer around when needed

I like the narrow chamfer. It gives the finished product an added dimension.

Nice little and quick projects. A few suggestions for the wine box. Use shallow rabbits ( as deep as the grooves) to attach the ends will hide the grooves on the ends. I would cut plugs for the screw holes. The plugs are easily trimmed with a chisel as you are cutting with them grain not across the grain. You could use either the same wood to make nearly invisible plugs or a contrasting wood for highlighted plugs and I think the face grain looks better than the end grain of the dowels.

Awesome ideas! And loved seeing you actually make each one as well to show how simple yet elegant the final product was.

My boy did this video for us before finishing the inside of his garage walls. I might shed a tear. Thanks

Three great little projects. With the popularity of making things from pallets, making pallets out of a fine wood is beautiful irony. Adding rabbets to the wine box pieces is the simplest solution for hiding the slots. Miters are cool but they can be a little persnickety. It's easy to sneak up on the perfect rabbet. For the pencil cup, I think the oversized and chamfered based looks bulky no matter how much of a chamfer you use. Using the contrasting white oak, cut a piece the size of the box and then cut rabbets on two sides of the base to accept the bottom pieces of walnut. You get straight sides, top to bottom, and a little structural detail from the alternating thinner and thicker edges of the white oak base. Well made video showing how to make all three projects. It was long but each segment was concise. Well done.

Thanks for your video. I really liked contrast of the wood colors. I’ve thought about making some coasters but the ones I’ve seen don’t absorb moisture from a glass. Probably would have to use a cork product. And the pencil holder. I thought the same thing as you, a candle holder. I think it would look good with the light coming thru it. Good tips and thanks.

Nice builds. My wife put together some cork board coasters so she asked me to make a holder for them. This was one of our Christmas gifts for family and friends.

For the wine bottle box. Those little square holes made by the blade run thru can be plugged with sawdust and glue. Let harden & sand. A nice look is a darker wood sawdust to make the little squares pop.

I have made sliding top boxes like these before, using various joinery methods, including but joints like you did, as well as mitred corners with splines, and finger (box) joints. On every one, instead of using scrap pieces for the little handle on the lid, I saved the piece that I cut off the end piece and used that. It also has the "advantage" of camouflaging which end is the opening end,and looks quite good. I do also like your way of using a contrasting colour as well.
