Mark, another very useful video. With shorter legs & perhaps smaller bowls, that pet dish stand could also be used for cats. We don't have either, but I appreciate all your tips for working with beveled cuts. The one tip I hadn't thought of was the taped wooden stop on your speed square. Those might work on a flat-bladed "L" square too. For years I've needed a new wooden mallet. I have maple & oak for materials but probably won't dress it up with walnut or mahogany. I like the format of this video with its multiple simpler projects. I would think it appeals to new woodworkers & more of them too. Your "use the tools you have at hand" philosophy should also encourage more involvement in the hobby also. I share that philosophy, only stepping outside it once. About 20 years ago I bought a Dewalt biscuit cutter & three sizes of wooden biscuits. I can count the times I've used the thing on one hand,
@startmaking12 ай бұрын
Hi Bill. Thank you. Yes that is a great point. Perfect for cats, if you like that kind of thing lol. The speed square thing seems to be something most people have not seen. I suspect it is more because they have mitre saws or gauges for the table saw and have never needed it. Im a bit of a bodger so this kind of thing was a normal for me early days. Fun thinking of the hacks. If the video encourages even one person to have a go then In would be very proud. ITs hard to call the builds beginner ones as many intermediates would enjoy them too. The amount of times I have nearly bought a biscuit cutter and now I am happy I didnt. Same with an angle grinder. Some tools keep calling but I worry that they would just sit there.

A tip for glue ups and making them flat , grab a of small square of wood cut out center with a hole saw. Forstner bit etc. Split into a pair , then cut both in half bisecting the circles so you end up with 4 matching Arches or bridge looking things. Use to clamp boards at ends and arches over the glue lines. Easy glue clean up and flush boards

@startmaking12 ай бұрын
Hi Corey. Dont get me wrong, I really want to try and build something special. Not sure what, but as a beginner I found very little out there that was easily attainable and so I want to fill that void for a while first before really trying the complex stuff. The laser is something that people who are way better with design software then me can get wonderful things from, same as a 3d printer. But I am way too far behind that curve. So it will remain the silent helper in the workshop. A luxury tool. Good for making stuff to give away like the French cleats. Shame that it is so costly to send that kind of thing to the US. Or , actually more the paperwork that you have to fill in just to send over a piece of plywood. I feel like I am punishing half of my audience for living across the pond. Anyway. Thank you for the feedback as always. Take care.

They are much better than most of the modern tools I already owned.

Great video. One suggestion: since you are laminating the mallet head anyway, the handle can be dovetailed in with no real joinery (just angled cuts) and no need for the wedge. If the handle was ever to break and to be replaced, THEN you need to make a new handle with a wedge to secure it. But for a new build, just uncorrupted the handle while you are laminating up the head, and "job done".

Funny, I got a mastiff mix Christmas before last. We made him a feeding bench also because of his height; he eats his food out of it, but has never used the water bowl. He'll come inside and use the community water bowl (shared with a13 year old terrier mix). Using sapele shows me that you love your dog much more than we do. We threw ours together with left over cedar decking. This is a great video, again. Also, be attentive to the "climb" cuts with the router. Those happen when you pass the bit against the wood counter to the rotation of said bit. It's a technique, but if one does it unaware that they are, it could be a disaster. Huge thumbs up on this one. Well explained and demonstrated. We do love hand work. It is longer, but connects one to the wood much more and makes it much more ephemeral.
@startmaking12 ай бұрын
Hey Meat. hope you are well bud. Strange how he wont use the water bowl. I bet he is a big boy though with Mastiff mix. Would eat my poodle cross for a snack. Not sure if I love the dog more, or just needed to make the bowl holder video worthy lol. Bit of both maybe. You are spot on with the climb cuts. It would have made sense if I had not cut out 20 mins of me screwing the routing up by trying to take too much off. The climb cuts were to try and smooth out the area where the bit had made itself a deep trench. All in all mistakes were made. And lots. I am so happy that I included the hand tool bit. realised today that I have neglected that side of things as I am reaching more for the router and table saw.

Good video! have never understood why content creators don't stress taping glue lines. Taping negates the necessity of scooping out squeeze-out with a straw, or other silliness. You mentioned it twice, so good on you. Another way to cut out dog bones and the like is with a scroll saw. It's actually easier than using a router, and clearly faster than using a coping saw. Scroll saws are an often over looked tool. They're great for making templates, and all sorts of curved cuts at a fraction of the cost of a band saw.

Hi Mark, where do you get your wood from?

Hi Steve. I have a timber merchant close by that sometimes has off cuts that I buy. That is where the sapele for the first build came from. It was not the best quality but the grain was lovely. But most of the hard wood I get, I order from toolsandtimber.co.uk . Not sure how it stacks up for price but the quality is good.

that could work really well. I would replace Philips head with hex so you can use an Allen key. Might make it easier with the L shape as I have a lot of cleats close to each other a screw driver from the side would be tricky.

please stop referring to housing joints as "dados". in the uk, a "dado" is a rail that runs around a room at about waist height.

KZfaq has become a clickbait hellhole and the title needs to be fixed. Quality video, walking through basic skills, but the title stopped me from subscribing.

I understand. And that is the reason that I used this one a week or so after release. The thumbnail stating that this was 3 beginner builds failed. tips and tricks failed. 15 more combinations failed. This one was a last resort and as it typical with YT it doubled the click through rate. I cannot turn views away because the it feels like click bait. Though , | will say that click bait is when the video does not deliver the details promised. I do show this trick and a fair amount more. We video makers need to get views or suddenly you are working for free. It is very annoying that negative and as you call them, clickbait titles do the best but all I can do is try the honest and plain ones first. But eventually I have to do what is best. As for subbing, that is an always will be your choice.
