Woodturning an almond and olive wood nut cracker

 

Tools and materials:

Lathe

Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

Cordless drill

Forstner bit set

Wire Burning Kit

In this video I make nut cracker that uses an almond hammer and an olive wood bowl to crack the nuts.

The olive wood was a bit cracked, so I filled the cracks with sawdust and glue. 

I then turned the tenon for my chuck. 

Next I hollowed it. This was trickier than I thought because I didn’t have much space for the tools to get in. 

To clean the bottom I used a conical piece to help me centre it better. 

Next I made the hammer. I pre-frilled the hole with a forstner bit. 

Next I turned the handle and glued it in place. 

I finished everything with mineral oil.

And it worked really nice. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.

Making a DIY tool box

Cordless Impact Driver

Cordless drill

Random orbit sander

Block plane

Table saw

Bandsaw

Belt sander

Hole saw

Drill press

Air compressor, nail and staple gun kit

Block plane

Lathe

In this video I make a simple tool box out of plywood.

I begun by cutting my plywood to basic size on the table saw. 

I then cut the sides on the bandsaw and sanded them on the belt sander.

I used  a hole saw to add a dowel as a handle. Because the dowel was slightly larger I used a sanding bit to enlarge the holes. 

I then glued and nailed the parts in place. I also added screws. 

Next I made the cap. On the slides I added some wax to make it slide easier. 

I added legs and also a divider in the inside.

Finally I turned a locking pin. This locks the cap in place.

I made this box basically for my turning tools but you can adapt it in any situation.

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

How to make a DIY planter box

 

Tools and materials:

Cordless Impact Driver

Cordless drill

Random orbit sander

Block plane

Table saw

In this video I make a rolling planter box. This type of planter is ideal for balcony gardens. 

I begun by cutting my stock to size with a circular saw. I used mostly reclaimed material for the hole project. 

I then sanded the pieces a little bit and then broke the edges with a block plane. 

Next I used the table saw to cut a few braces which I screwed in place. 

I then screwed the sides and the bottom pieces. For the bottom I used a scrap piece as spacer. 

After sanding I applied a few coats of walnut water based varnish.

Finally I screwed the wheels in place.

This planter box is ideal for balcony gardens, because you can easily clean by moving the hole box at once.

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