Of course, the pistachio bowl could more simply be made on the wood lathe…
0:58 You can see the leaves blowing around outside!
Thanks!
Did you plane the trivets when they were finished or were they close enough fora sanding to clean up?
Her scrap wood pile is worth more than my tools 😳
Hey, I’m into those tools to. Been looking for a couple things. Digital calipers and a digital square. Was walking by some tools and there they were. Awesome.
It is NOT "the holidays". It is Christmas. Drop the woke sh*t.
Hello Tamar. I want to make my pegs. I would like to acquire these tools to make them. Please, Urgent!
Thanks for the Christmas project ideas! Your projects were wonderful!
great channel, totally subbing! Do you have a video on the best ways to get free and cheap scrap wood for projects? also have you tried the super glue and masking tape trick instead of double sided tape? you put masking tape on both items and then put super glue on one and activator on the other and stick them together. then when done it comes right off with no residue.
Great detective work on the trivet assembly techniques, I love the way you’ve explained all this. And then you’ve made great gifts (and one personal keeper too!) so thats another bonus!
😃
I already made 2 trivets few years back based on you 3 way bridle joint. I going to give it a try with the hexagon shape this year (more convenient to use than others I made). Thank you for all these great ideas !
Awesome craftsmanship and design
Serving tray thought…
Lay material over the wood to draw random shapes template to router out the material.
No heavy duty tools required.
Thank 6 point star… Maybe start all pieces at the same time, then slowly press then into position?
Just a thought.
this is the first time I ran across your videos… I really like the way you approach a project… thanks for sharing, I am looking forward to seeing more. I am sharing this with others, who I know, will appreciate all the valuable information. Thanks again for sharing
Talented and attractive too the Nth.
My brain hurts!
👍🙏🏼👍
What! My spouse also thinks the pepper should have more holes, but I grew up the other way.
WOW, Busy video. So much information yet very well explained. Great projects. Thank you for teaching.
As always Tamara your projects are fabulous. My favorites were the dual Nut Bowls and the Bread Board.
I see you listed the bevel setting gauge in your tool list but I couldn’t find which T bevel you use. Sorry if I’m missing it
You do great work! Where you find the push block with the finger protection you use on the table saw?
My favs are the bread board and the snack tray! So beautiful and very useful. Thank you for sharing!
Trivet #3, be careful not to circumcise it. Lol
Great job. I am amazed at your skill and mastery.
Most plans on your website cost money. Stop saying plans are "available" there. They cost money.
Not to judge, but is there a reason why you are using a hyper tough drill, but a festool and sawstop saws
The try at the end is the best. Im got to try it!
These are all wonderful, creative, unique gift ideas. I could easily gift each of them to close family and friends. Thank you.
I already watched this video at least a dozen times trying to figure out if I was going to do the Dowel Bread Board or the Salt & Pepper Napkin Holder. Reduced playback speed to 0.95 trying to get the details right, especially on the tray’s edge banding. Deciding I didn’t have time to figure out salt/pepper plugs this year after purchasing the 4” Forstner extension, because at some point I’ll still do them. I’m going to cut full scale dowel holders, but I might cut them down and scale down the bread board just a pinch.
what kind of double side tape do you use? the only stuff I can find is quite thick and difficult to remove…. thanks.
My wife loves pistachios and that looks like it would be a great turning project! And a lot easier than using the router 🙂
great! but the last project is the only one I would consider easy xD
but your kids still need desks, though…
You could probably find plans or videos for how to make a star of david puzzle then you could just make a big one that could be a trivet or a puzzle. I’ve given numerous wooden puzzles as gifts.
Thank you for the tips! As stated below; so much info yet so well explained. Here, take my subscription!
I’ve been using those drills from Walmart for at least 10 years, and I’m a pro woodworker. I got tired of paying for over priced name brand drills and batteries and having problems finding new batteries after a couple of years. My woodworking buddies laughed at me and say, you’re got Lie Nielson hand planes and saws and drills from Walmart. I told them well, maybe one of the reasons I can afford Lie Nielson is not over paying for name brand drills. Excellent projects you have there. Thanks for sharing.
The star would’ve been a fun puzzle.
These are very cool projects- definitely going on my to-do list. Our family also loves Trekking the World!!
Hello from Italy. I’m developing woodworking as a hobby and I just wanted to say that I really admire your insane skills together with your creative approach!! I’ve watched a ton of videos on this platform but enjoy yours the most. Thank you for sharing. On a negative note I am totally jealous of your high end tools 😭🤣
That star of David is completely stunning. I got inspired to try to make some. Is it perhaps possible to assemble the last part by carefully separating the two touching pieces (they are not attached near the tip I think) and sliding it between them?
For the "popsicle stick" trivet, what if you cut the joints 1/3-1/3-1/3, instead of 1/2-1/2-1/3?
Thank you for making this video! I’m gonna try to Star of David for the holidays!
Love the trivets. I made five of the hexagons and two of the second trivet (the popsicle sticks). For the second trivet, I took what seemed like a simpler approach to step two. I took the first two pieces, interlocked them, and placed them on my crosscut sled against the fence (the longer distance between the ends against the fence). Making sure the blade kerf was aligned through the center of the X, I set the blade to one third the width and made multiple passes to clear out the width of the third piece. Then I was able to place the third piece in the cutout and mark it for its cuts. Thanks for the great ideas and inspiration.
Very good idea, thank you for sharing
These are great! I am definitely making some hexagonal trivets this weekend. However, because I’m a huge nerd, I might throw some sort of base underneath them, and give them to my Dungeons and Dragons buddies as dice trays.
Merry Christmas
Note that almost all 3D print material isn’t food safe.
As usual amazing ideas, Thank You
