Making urns for our loved ones a difficult but rewarding project. Brought to us by Squarespace. For 10% off your first purchase, go to: squarespace.com/makesomething
In this heartfelt woodworking project, I create custom urns to honor the memory of our beloved pets. This journey started with locally sourced white oak and the goal of crafting something meaningful and lasting. This video is not about sadness but a celebration of the joy our pets bring to our lives. We explore the woodworking process, from selecting the right wood to designing unique urns that hold both ashes and cherished keepsakes. You'll see the intricate details like miter joints, splines, and custom inlay banding that make these urns truly special. While creating these urns, I'll also share tips on batching out woodworking projects efficiently. Plus, you’ll learn how to incorporate thoughtful design elements to elevate simple boxes into works of art.

I was not prepared for all the wonderful comments and people sharing their stories. Thank you thank you.

Thank you for loving my dogs as much as I do. This was such a beautiful tribute to Weenz and Tweek's friendship. And ours. ❤

Thank you. This couldn't have come at better time to hear. This past Wednesday, we had to say goodbye to my 10 year old dog. As a fellow saw dust maker and dog owner, thank you.

If you, too, have a companion animal that has meant a lot to you and you haven't already, I would encourage you to look into and strongly consider going vegan. Many, MANY animals are just as deserving of our love and compassion as those we welcome into our homes and lives.

I really respect the way you handled this man. Thanks for being real but also respecting yourself and us enough to keep private things private.

In the last 3 years I made 2 urns, for my parents. Watching a loved one slip away from cancer gives you such a helpless feeling and being able to go to the workshop with a real purpose helped alleviate the feeling of helplessness. (Also, dimensioning rough lumber by hand is very physically cathartic!)

I've done a few small projects here and there over the years, but a few years ago someone gave me an entire piece of purple heart lumber that I let hang around and around, mainly because I felt I didn't have the skill to make anything that would do the wood justice. Then my mom passed away in Dec 21 of COVID. I knew immediately I was going to make her an urn from the purple heart, that that's why I was given it. I found some plans online for an urn and made it out of that purple heart. It ain't perfect by any means, but it is perfect for her. It is by far the single most meaningful thing I have made.

Not forgetting the point of the video, but you mentioned your love of watching cooking shows. If you think about it, woodshops and kitchens have a lot in common. 1- the both have large power tools, woodshop has table saw, bandsaw, planer, etc., a kitchen has oven, stove, refrigerator etc., 2- the both have small power tools. woodshop has routers,, drills, jigsaws, etc., A kitchen has blenders, mixers, food processors, etc., 3- both have hand tools. A woodshop has chisels, hammers, marking tools, etc. A kitchen has knifes, spatulas, rolling pins, etc. In both, you turn a series of "ingredients" into something wonderful. Just a thought..........

I'm not a wood worker, but I am a maker that sometimes uses wood. Watching channels like yours is inspiring and informative and that is not disposable, or boredom content! Thanks for all you share 🙂

May you and your friends’ memories of them always bring you joy. The boxes are very beautiful.

If you watch this video with your dogs next to you the screen turns all blurry and kinda wet looking...

Few things are more rewarding and more touching than to say to someone “I made this for you”.

Looked down at my 12-year-old buddy lying near me on the floor while watching this and started tearing up. Pets, man. Gotta love them.

Hopefully the algorithm can learn because I am with you on the approach 👍🏼

I knew when I saw the thumbnail that this was going to be a tough one to watch. Just laid my best friend of the past 20 years to rest a couple weeks ago, my Miss Kitty. I didn't have her cremated, but the casket I made for her was absolutely the best "box" I've ever made. Not the best as in my favorite, but the one that came out the best and that I put the most care and work into, because she definitely deserved nothing but the best for all of the love and happiness she had given me for the last 20 years. I'm so glad to see that I'm not alone in my grief or in my desire to make my best friend one last special project! Thank you for this video, and to all of the other wonderful people in these comments thank you for sharing your thoughts and stories as well and know that you also are not alone in your grief... I miss you, Miss Kitty 🐈‍⬛ thank you for 20 wonderful years and countless beautiful memories 🖤

You said there would be no crying in this video, and yet here I am, all misty-eyed in the first five minutes. I look forward to your uploads because I love your content/channel. I am a professional graphic designer/3D modeler and a hobbyist woodworker. Great job on this project! I'm so sorry for your loss!
