Making Two Signs - hand routing

In this video I'll be working on two sign projects.

The first is a commission for one of my Patrons on Patreon. He asked for a house sign named "The Redlands", and for that I'll be using a piece of what I first thought was a wood called utile, but after posting a picture of the sign on Instagram, a couple of people commented about it potentially being walnut. I'm not sure, but whatever it is, it's a really nice piece of wood - you can see here in the corner where I used my handplane to get a better look at the grain. I bought this piece several months ago

Making A Wooden Draining Board Using Beech

Recently one of my friends tagged me in a post on Twitter because someone had tweeted about needing a replacement wooden draining board for a sink, it's an item that is no longer available for sale, and her old draining board was a little worse for wear. So I got in touch and gave her a quote for making one and also some more information an suggestions and options about what would might be best to use as some woods are more resistant to absorbing moisture. The client was happy with the quote and sent me the exact dimensions for the board she wanted, including the spacings inbe

Making A Giant Mallet

In this video i'm going to be making a giant mallet as a commission for one of my YouTube viewers in the United States. The client has a collection of hammers and mallets and said he'd like to have something made by me and he suggested a carnival or strongman style mallet and I really liked that idea. Traditionally, carnival mallets have a metal banding around the head and I don't really have the right tools or knowledge to do that kind of thing, so I reached out to Alec Steele, a popular YouTuber and talented blacksmith based in my home town with the idea of colla

Making A Vinyl Display Box

In this video I make a vinyl / records display box using some salvaged oak veneered MDF which came from some bookshelves reclaimed from an old library.

I used mahogany to trim the edges of the box.

Making A Bandsaw Box Desk Tidy

Recently one of my YouTube viewers got in touch about a commission. He was looking for a desk tidy to hold some bottles of ink, and some pens with a drawer where he could put his phone, wallet and keys.

He mentioned that he liked the wedding box and chess set that I'd made and said he was happy to let me design something.

So here's what I came up with as a concept. And my idea was to build the bottom drawer section first as a bandsaw box, and then mount some pieces on top to form the pen tray and ink bottle ho

Rustic Coat Racks With Shelves

A couple of years ago I salvaged some hat and coat stands, and I used them to make loads of things like this table top, a neck for an electric guitar, this table frame and this chopping board.

I saved all the coat hooks from them so I decided to make some coat racks.

I found a few pallets recently so I decided to use pallet wood.

So I broke them all down in to pieces, and removed the nails.

And I decided to use some of these wider pallet slats from one of the pallets.

I started by chopping off the ends where the nails holes were.
