How to make a skamnaki mini stool

 

Tools and materials:

Table saw

Cordless Impact Driver

Cordless drill

Random orbit sander

Spoke shave

Chisel set

Jointer planer

Bandsaw

Belt sander

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Chisel set

Dowel center pin

Drill press

Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit

In this video I make a skamnaki. This is how we call this mini stools in Greece. I made it out of scrap pieces of spruce.

First of all I cleaned my material on the table saw. 

I then glued a few boars to make some panels. 

I then used my planer and the table saw to square them up and cut them to size. 

I used the bandsaw to round over the corners of the top. 

I made most of the joints on the tables saw. 

I then glued and nailed the bottom pieces together.

To glue the top I used dowel joinery. 

I rounded over the edges of the top with a spokeshave. 

Finally I glued and sanded everything.

I painted the legs like I did on the first one I made some time ago. 

Finally I finished it with a clear water based varnish. 

And my little stool was ready. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.

Block plane

Cordless Impact Driver

Cordless drill

Random orbit sander

Chisel set

Jointer planer

Flush trim saw

Bandsaw

Belt sander

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Chisel set

Dowel center pin

A few years ago I made a kids chair. Now I had to make a second one out of spruce. I also made a few fine tunings to the first one. 

I first made a paper template using the first chair as reference. 

I then planed and cut my wood to size. I used the table saw and the bandsaw. I then sanded the pieces to my lines. I also used a chisel to clean the pieces I couldn’t reach with the sander. 

I used dowel joinery to join the pieces together. 

While glueing the sides I wanted to make some fine tunings to the first one. I removed the screws, and removed wood with the router and chisel. I then glued new wood in place which I then sanded and planed flush. I then  painted and varnished the chair. 

Back to the new chair. I glued the sides in place. To glue the back I first planed it with the block plane until I achieved a good fit. 

Next I glued the base. Finally latex paint and water based varnish again.

And my chair was ready. It’s quite lighter coloured because it’s spruce. The old one was pine and it was really old wood.

But that was it see you soon with a new project video.

How to make a simple DIY table out of old wooden floor boards

 

Tools and materials:

Jointer planer

Circular saw

Circular saw guide rail

Speed square

Miter box

Hand saw

Belt sander

Countersink bits

Chisel set

Bandsaw

Table saw

Block plane

Cordless Impact Driver

Cordless drill

Random orbit sander

Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit

In this video I make a table out of a piece of an old wooden floor. The floor was made out of pine. I also used some spruce to make the legs. 

This was actually a piece of floor that was removed so we could install an interior ladder.

I begun by taking the pieces apart using a leaver. I then had to glue a few pieces which I broke during the process.

Next I planned and cleaned the back cleats. 

I re-glued the rabbeted pieces in sections. The last section was longer than any clamp I had so I glued some wooden blocks to clamp the pieces together. 

Next I cut the table top to it’s final size with my circular saw and a guide rail. 

I then glued and nailed two new cleats in place. 

I added trim to hide the end grain. I glued and nailed it in place and then I used a block plane to make it flush. 

Next I sanded the table top. I also rounded the edges with a block plane. 

Next I made the legs and the horizontal cleat. 

I then sanded everything and my table was ready. 

I am really happy with the result. I hope the grain will do well enough with expansion and contraction. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.

DIY plywood bicycle rack

 

Tools and materials:

Chisel set

Gouge

Forstner bit set

Corner clamps

Belt sander

Bandsaw

Router

Router bits

Centre drill countersink bit

Table saw

Cordless drill

Cordless Impact Driver

Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

In this video I make a bicycle rack out of 15 plywood. This way I can hang my bicycle on the wall and out of the way. 

I begun by making a few cuts on the table saw. Then I glued and nailed a few pieces together, so I can work with thicker stock. 

I made the tenons on the table saw and I cleaned them up with a sharp chisel. 

To make the mortises I issued a forstner bit to remove most of the material. Then I used a gouge to remove some more material. And finally I used a chisel to easily clean things up. You could just use the chisel but the gouge makes things muck easier. 

I cut the pieces on the bandsaw and then I sanded them. I also used a round over bit on my router to ease up all the edges. 

Finally I glued and screwed the pieces together. 

I glued three plywood pieces to make a dowel on the lathe. You can just use a ready made dowel. 

I used a guide block to glue and screw the dowel in place. The dowel acts as support but you can also use it to hang your helmet or other cycling accessories. 

Finally I finished the piece with few coats of water based varnish. 

I then hang it on the wall with four wall plugs.

And it works really nicely. But that was it, see you soon with a new project video.

Making a coat rack out of solid beech wood

 

Tools and materials I propose:

Table saw

Jointer planer

Bandsaw

Forstner bit set

Lathe

Wood turning tools set

Speed square

Chisel set

Drill press

Cordless drill

Dowel centering jig

Random orbit sander

6mm dowels

Dowel center pin

Mini machinist’s lathe

Belt sander

Cabinet Scraper set

Countersink bits

In this video I make a simple coat rack which is also a shelf. I made it out of solid wood and finished it with clear water based varnish.

I begun by ripping my wood on the table saw. I then cleaned the saw marks on the thickness planer. 

I then cut my wood to size on the table saw. I also created a groove by doing multiple passes on the table saw. This was to fit the shelf in place. 

I used the bandsaw to round over the sides which I then cleaned on the belt sander. 

Using a forstner bit I drilled the holes for the hangers. At  this point I also drilled the holes from which I would hang the rack on the wall. I also counter sinked them.

I used 6mm dowels to connect all the pieces. To do that I used my dowel centre pins and a centering jig. 

I then sanded everything and glued all the parts together. 

It was then time to turn the hangers on the lathe. 

I first created the tenons. I made a hole on a scrap piece. I then burned the tenon with friction so I would know how much material I should remove. 

I turned the pins roughly to size and then I used my machinist’s lathe to make sure the maximum diameter was the same on everything. 

I then trimmed them to size on the table saw and I moved back on the lathe to finish turning. 

I glued the pins in place and then trimmed them flush.

I finished the piece with three coats of clear water based varnish while I lightly sanded between coats. 

And my little rack  was ready. I hope you’ve enjoyed this project, because that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
