Beech Waney Live Edge Slab Coffee Table - Table Top (part 1 of 2)

Recently I got a few waney edge slabs of what I think is beech. Here's one of the lengths, which I'd already cut in half so that I could fit in my van. This piece had been stored in a disused warehouse for over 10 years so I expected it to be dry and when I checked with my moisture metre, it was showing at only 6% moisture content. So I knew that after all this time the wood should be stable enough and ready to use. It looked like it'd be a really beautiful piece of wood once cleaned up and as it was also a really good size it seemed like it would be a huge shame t

Restoring Two Old Spokeshaves

I donned a pair of gloves for this as it was about to get messy.

I'd start the cleaning process with some 80 grit abrasive paper and some 220 grit wet and dry paper stuck to a melamine board with some sticky back tape.

I started cleaning up the top of the cap iron, and eventually revealed that it was made by Record, which was a pleasant surprise.

So here I'm just removing the rust, I'm not trying to make it look new like it just came out of the factory, I actually like my tools to look like they've had some use.

Next I worked o

Making Cat Or Dog Bunk Beds

Recently I found some pine bed slats and a broken double bed frame, and in this video I'm going to be making some bunk beds for cats or smallish dogs.

I previously designed and made some single versions of these beds which was an earlier video on my channel.

The slats had some straps attached with staples so the first job was to get those off

And I removed all the metal fittings.

The slats measured just shy of 1.4m in length and from that I decided what size to make the beds. I'd make the length 60cm so I could

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 Large Beam Compass

I looked through my scrap pile and found a piece of what I think is ash, which measured 600mm in length and 27mm square.

I'd start by drilling a hole for the pencil, and using calipers I measured the width of a pencil at 7mm. I drilled a 7mm hole, but that was a bit tight so I came back with an 8mm bit, and then the pencil could slide in.

I raised the blade on my tablesaw and then moved the fence so that the workpiece was centred to the blade, and made a cut through the hole, and a bit further. I rotated the workpiece making cuts
