Building Bourbon Barrel Bars
A friend of mine recently acquired a couple of Bourbon Whiskey barrels from a local distillery @CaseyJonesDistillery , and he asked me if I would convert them into bars. He is keeping one and giving one as a gift. Very rarely do I do commission work, but this one sounded fun, so I agreed. There was a lot of work in just removing the rust and corrosion from the metal bands, not to mention all the drilling, screwing, and finishing to make these barrels into what you see here.

Building a Poplar Nightstand
มุมมอง 3668 หลายเดือนก่อน
My niece Lily has a bedroom set she got years ago that did not come with a nightstand. She asked me if I would build her one to match the rest of the set. I was glad to. I made it out of poplar because she plans to paint it the same off-white color as the rest of her furniture, and poplar takes paint really well.

Woodworking: DIY Ultimate Router Table Fence Tutorial
มุมมอง 13Kปีที่แล้ว
I have a Grizzly G1023RLW table saw with the built-in router table wing, but I have never used the router table feature. This is because I didn't have a good fence option. Grizzly suggests bolting a wood fence to the existing table saw fence, but this is too permanent for me. I would like to be able to use the table saw fence in combination with jigs and fixtures, and if there is a wooden route...
Woodworking: Building a Simple Serving Tray: DIY woodworking project
มุมมอง 4.9Kปีที่แล้ว
A few years ago I built Mrs. Tinkerer a serving tray out of maple. She has gotten tons of use out of it. I decided I would build another one from cherry and share the method. It is super simple and can be made with basic tools. No fancy joinery is required. Video music is "Silver Waves" by TrackTribe. Logo design by Brandon Kettle.

Wood Carving: Mini Tinkerer Automaton Wood Toy
มุมมอง 280ปีที่แล้ว
I decided to build an automaton that looks like me. He's using a mini table saw that looks like my saw. As the crank is turned, the saw blade spins and the mini Tinkerer raises and lowers his board onto the table saw top. The box is made of oak, the mini Tinkerer is carved from bass wood, and the table saw is a variety of woods with an aluminum top. All gears were cut by me from patterns I down...
Woodworking: BBQ Rub Organizer Tray
มุมมอง 247ปีที่แล้ว
I like to cook BBQ. I like to eat it too! I had amassed a collection of Rubs, and I needed a place to store and organize them. I decided to build a tray to hold them. I had some live-edge cherry wood scraps that I thought would work perfectly, and I was correct. The tray measure 10" x 14.5" x 5". Filmed on my iPhone X with the iPhone camera stand.

I didn't write down any dimensions when I built this because I typically make it up as l go. I can guess that the cross pieces would have been about 10.5" long (based on overall width of 17.5" minus two 3.5" legs). The legs would have been about 16.5" tall (based on overall height of 18" minus the 1.5" thickness of the top). As far as the stretcher bar that runs along the bottom of the table and connects the two leg assemblies together, its length would depend on how far from the end you inset each leg assembly. It looks like my stretcher is approximately 37" long. Thanks for watching.
Andy another great video.. I came to this one to see how the pencil holder tray for the writing desk was made. Enjoyed watching this one and yes, if I had seen your map in an office I'd say they'd have paid hundreds of not thousand bucks for the frame and the professional backing you created.. did you cut the cove in half after it makes that half moon from table saw? Thanks
Thank you so much! No, I didn’t cut the cove in half. The cove wasn’t exactly centered on the board, so I used the router table to put a bead on the edge the cove was closest to. Thanks again for watching and commenting!
Fun idea - love that you used scraps where you could too!
Thanks! It has really worked well. Very sturdy and I don’t see ever replacing it. The thought of being thrifty and using up what I already have is always a motivator for me! Thanks again!
Nice, but you need some pretty pricey equipment to build it, even without joints!
Tracy, I disagree. You could build this with a hand saw, drill, and coping saw. I used what I had to make it faster and easier, but nothing about this requires fancy tools. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Could this be done on a larger scale for a kitchen table?
Yes it can. The drop leaf technique and profile is the exact same on a larger kitchen table. Thanks for watching and taking the time to ask a question.
Excellent multi-decade planning. The Long-View is superior, every time.
People often overlook the long term benefits of morbid obesity and the relationship it plays to future projects related to the associated apparel. Ha! Thanks for watching and the great comment!
😊what are the dimensions?
Dimensions are approximately 12” long by 11” wide by 14” tall. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for getting back to me. Love the video and the end of it 😂😂
Looks nice, thanks for the idea. God bless. Jesus loves you!
Thank you for the kind words and the watch!
Good job brother
Thank you so much!
You must be aware of the danger of inhaling MDF dust particles. People working and not using an mask is common on these videos. PLEASE PLEASE use a mask.
Thanks for the view and your concern.
Great looking tray. Thanks for making and sharing the video and showing us all the necessary steps. What is the height of the sides and the thickness of the sides and the bottom piece?
Sorry to take so long to respond,but I missed this comment somehow. The sides are about 2” tall and the end is about 3” tall at its highest. All the dimensions are shown at the 4:00 mark of the video for reference. The bottom is probably about 5/8”-3/4” thick and the sides about 1/2”. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video! I'm planning to make a bench swing, and have watched lots of videos. I like your design the best! I'm totally into building in a sturdy way. I was thinking of using your design for the base, and using 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 slats made from plastic lumber (HDPE) so that the parts that touch the body will never rot, splinter, etc. On of your comments was that you used composite lumber for the same design. I'd LOVE to know how you did that and how it turned out! Again, great job. Any way I could get ahold of your templates?
Thanks for the watch and the great comment! I did build a swing completely out of composite deck boards. I’d be happy to discuss it, however it’s probably best to do it via email. Head over to my website thehtennesseetinkerer.com and shoot me an email. Thanks!
mmm just learned i can make the pointed fronts on my drop saw..doh
Glad this was useful to you! Good luck with your projects and thanks for commenting!
Very nice tray… I’m a beginner and this looks doable to me… thanks from parrottsville tn
Thanks Mike! Very good project for any woodworker no matter their skill level. I had to look up where Parrotsville is. You live in a part of TN that is very special to me. The wife and I used to vacation every year in Pigeon Forge. Love east TN. Thanks for the comment and view, and best of luck with your project!
Why only do one video and its seems you think its all goid to hide your full comolete built or you just like scamming the viewers and that means you let everyone dont without showing any part of videos if you going to built them as no point showing one part chopping and joining but everyone needs to see your full comolete videos and stop hiding lies the at end of this video keep blurring out for someone reason so that means ya made up bs excuses
Michael, I think I understand what you are saying in your comment, but to tell you the truth, the grammar and spelling were so very bad, it’s hard to be sure. I believe you are upset that there is no follow up videos to this build. Or maybe you think there are but I’ve done something to hide them or scam you in some way? Again, your writing is very hard to interpret. Well assuming I understand correctly, I will tell you that where this project ended up in the video is where it currently sits. I have never done any more to it. Someday I hope to, but I don’t know. I put these out for fun, and I don’t really need to. Most people enjoy watching them, but I’d suggest that if it bothers you so much, watch someone else’s videos instead. Or better yet, you could build your own version of this and post it for others to critique.
thanks for sharing the build
Thank you for watching it and leaving a comment!
Very nice job. Love the mix of metal and wood.
Thanks John! It turned out pretty nice. It’s the only one like it.
any child would love that excellent
Thank you Paul! My nephew still uses the chest to keep his special treasures in.
😅😂😅😂😅greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷. I love the ending . 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much. It is one of my favorite endings. I like to have fun. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
I started off watching this video thinking that it's just another cherry table video. I was surprised by the things I learned. 1. Making a bigger top by using table saw rip cuts instead of bandsaw 2. Awesome idea about clamping a vertical board and spacer for leg to apron pocket screws 3. One of the only videos I've seen using flush drawer slide runners to use steel slides instead of making things complex 4. Pencil holder inside desk. And finally you topped it off with a story about your hero... Overall awesome job on the video and I'm very happy to have seen it and will save it for coming back for reference.. awesome work. One question is the table top looked good but was it just 3/4 in top or more like 1in thick?.. thanks
Wow thank you so much for all the kind words! I’m so happy you enjoyed this and found it useful! As far as ripping the top with the table saw, I do this because my band saw is old and not powerful or accurate enough to resaw thick boards. The table saw in the video was my old contractor saw that has since been replaced with a larger cabinet saw, but it gave me 20 years of excellent use. By first ripping the wide boards down to narrower ones, it allowed me to resaw them using the table saw. Plus as I said in the video, it also made the widths uniform and made the top more stable. That top was thicker than 3/4”. Probably closer to 1-1/4” but it’s been so long I don’t remember exactly. As far as the skirt spacer, I’m always looking for easy and accurate ways to get the job done. I’ve used both wood slides and metal slides on drawers in the past, but for this I thought metal was most functional. Anyway, thank you again for watching and taking the time to comment. It means so much.
Ficou muito Bonito. Parabéns. Voce poderia compartilhar o projeto? Gostaria muito de fazer uma para minha avó. Obrigado 🙂
Thank you Marcio for the kind words. Unfortunately I did this one many years ago, and I did not make any templates. Like most of my projects I made it up as I went. I have no way to share it. Thank you again.
Mas que pena. Ficou muito bom. Irei tentar ser fiel ao seu modelo de projeto 😁 . Obrigado Deus lhe abençoe.
Building a fence for my homemade router table (using the Veritas plate), so watched many videos. This was my favorite: I loved the design and the construction tricks and I can easily modify the design to have it run on a pair of T-tracks. I'ill be working on it this coming month.
Wow thanks Bernard! I thought and planned it a long time in my head, and it turned out better than I had hoped. Best of luck on your build, and thanks again for the kind words!
Excellent video. I have to replace both my table saw extension AND router tabletop/fence, so this was the perfect approach for a 2-for-1 solution!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I’ve really enjoyed using this set up. It works great, and clamping it to the table saw fence gives it a great sturdy adjustable backer. Thanks again!
Would be great to see a part 2. Did enjoy seeing the template out of wood
I hope to finish it someday. I had a friend that was going to assist with welding, and work changed for him, and it never worked out. Hopefully one day I will be able to complete it. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Been thinking of doing some of these for giggles when I have time. I'm going to experiment with pallet wood since I have plenty of it for experimentation. Thanks for the vid. I'm in NW Tn. ;)
Great! Pallet wood is a popular medium right now. I’ve seen some really nice projects made from pallets. Best of luck with your project. Are you around the Reelfoot Lake area?
nice!
Thanks!
Of course it's simple when you have a drill press, bandsaw, and an oscillating drum sander lol. Guess I need to save up more
I take it you didn’t watch until the end where I said that this can be built with the most basic tools and whatever you have. I started off with nothing, and over the last 35 years I’ve worked hard and saved up and gradually added better tools to my shop. That is a formula anyone can use. Thanks for watching.
Don’t let tools stop you….there’s always 3 or more ways to accomplish something, and inexpensive hand tools can be had at flea markets, garage sales, etc…..
I LOVE THE IDEA! I was just thinking about that! I hope it worked
I have never finished it but hope to someday. Thanks!
This is fence I have been looking for! Going to add a router lift to my table saw and I have been trying to figure out the fence. Nice video - easy to watch and follow, thanks for posting.
That’s awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for the kind words and good luck with your build!
I can’t wait for part 2 !!!!! If you were In St. Louis I would finish it for you !!! 😊
Thank you James. It has been on hold for several years now. I really want to finish it some day. I decided against using the lawnmower chassis, but have not gotten the courage up or the skill needed to weld a tube chassis. Hopefully one day I will. Thanks for the kind words.
Very clean smooth looking desk thanks for sharing your talent!👍🏽
Thank you Paul! It was truly a labor of love for my woodworking hero. I really appreciate your kind words.
What would the measurements be on a 13" segment bowl
James, I’m not sure what they would be. I found the measurements on the ones I turn by a bit of trial and error. However, if you search online for “segment bowl chart” or similar language, there are lots of resources from turners who have done the calculations already. A lot depends on the angle of the segments you use and their individual widths. The total number of segments is dependent upon the angles of each. For instance, if you use 10 segments, the angle on each side of each segment must be 18 degrees. 18 x 2 sides x 10 pieces = 360 degrees. The widest width of each segment is what determines the overall diameter after you settle on the other factors. More or less segments equals different angles. Those charts online take the guesswork out of it though. Best of luck with your projects. Thanks for the comment and the view!
They, indeed , turned out beautiful. Well done !!
Absolutely stunning! Great job…maybe those Orbs were left over Devil’s Cut?🤷♂️ Good to see you around! I’ve been playing around with my new CNC and epoxy. I enjoy your watching your wood working skills and creativity.
thats a great know how video good job.
Thanks so much Dale. I appreciate the kind words.
Thanks for posting this build! Not applicable to my needs… I have a stand-alone portable work table which can serve as a router table. But the general concepts for the whole build are excellent! First video I’ve watched on your channel and loved it!
Very Nice
Thanks so much!
Great video! Really well done.
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words and the view!
Good job dude
Thanks so much!
Hey! Did you ever post a part 2 to the power wheels??
That’s probably the most asked question I get. Unfortunately no progress has been made on the power wheels since that first video. I hope to complete it one day. Thanks for the comment and view!
We sand the sanding sealing with sand down by the sea shore!!! 💀
I'm just making a fence for my non-tablesaw router table, but I appreciate the process and decisions here, and the angles. Well-delivered and clear. Thanks for the video!
Sir you have a unique talent awesome project and job thx for sharing enjoyed it Be safe stay well and God Bless
Having spent 6 days in the hospital last year for not wearing breathing protection, I admonish you and everyone else; You MUST wear dust protection. BTW, darn nice fence!!! 😊
Thanks Mike! I admit that like most people, I tend to neglect breathing protection too often. I’ll try to do better in the future. Hope you are fully recovered. Thanks for the comment.
Must be a turkey feeder
Dale, that was definitely a big turkey feeding at the end! Thanks for watching.
Love your Lathe it’s Awesome!! and those Laminated Legs You Made Are Money!!! Great Job!!
Thank you Eric! That is so kind of you to say! Thanks for watching too!
I'm starting to build a fence with your design. I like how you attached the dust collector. I just built a separate table saw fence to hold it. I also plan bottoms for the two openings. 👍
Awesome Paul! I’ve been pleased with how it works so far. I’m glad it was helpful, and I love seeing others tweak my designs to make them more functional for them. Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!
Great video Thank you Happy new year
This is such a great, simple idea! Thanks very much. I have a 6 x 48 sander, but same idea. Cool.
Thanks so much for the kind words! It really does work well, and it was a machine I already had. Thanks again.
