Good & Basic Wing Chun Dummy! (Process)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ก.ย. 2024
- In which JF shows (almost) the whole process of making the Wing Chun dummy. I'm really proud of it and I've enjoyed starting to practice with it! As stated in the video, when our website gets up (fingers crossed it will be soon) I'll post full blueprints. Note: due to the computer problems I mentioned in Saturday's video, parts of the source video were cropped down to an awkward aspect ratio while I describe the arms and base, so that's why the camera angle there is so awful. I've added diagrams for those parts and I hope it's reasonably understandable.

I watched my neighbor for 3 and a 1/2 weeks saw on a large tree in his back yard with a chain saw. Finally I got tired of watching him struggle so I went over and showed him that if you start the engine on the chain saw it works better and is a lot faster.
Best diy wing chun dummy I've seen
Great job! I've started dabbling in JKD and wing chun and was thinking of making my own dummy! I have very basic woodworking skills, so this will serve as a great guide!
Thank you for this amazing labor.
I love videos like this. Truly lives up to the channels name. Good and Basic.
Algebra geometry in real world had me🤣🤣🤣
I did an actual Google search which led me to your video because I want to build my own. You did an amazing job and ANY and all info you have to offer would be indescribably appreciated ❤️
Excellent video thank you
I love this video, thank you brother, will be referring back to this in near future when I begin my own 😊👊🏿💜
Take a saw and cut the edges off then sand it down and make it round lol
Yes but, if you do a ton of math, draw lines all over each piece of lumber, use a measuring tape, use a ridiculous amount of wood glue to hold it all together and then make 50 different cuts...you waste time, BUT, also let people on TH-cam think you are a genius........and now we all know kung-fu
I am a carpenter by trade and any petty criticism I had formulated throughout the build was eventually overcome by the end product! Very cool! 🤙😎
I'm genuinely flattered. Thanks for your kind words! JF
Edit: How would you have done it differently if you were me?
I love the octagon shape of the trunk. Looks sweet.
IF you are worried about the edges can use a basic hand plane or sandpaper...
If there are any gaps you want filled can use glue with the wood dust/shavings.
Can you send me all the info on making this I have been wanting to make one of these for years! Please
bro use your head
The video shows how to make it. If you can't make it watching a video. You really want written instructions? Go ikea bro!
Great idea
Send me too Res Bro,🇮🇳🙏🕉️
Interesting to think about available resources. As someone who lives on land with ~20 acres of forest natural wood is mostly what I have built stuff from and using dimensional lumber is something reserved for when it is absolutely necessary.
Yeah for sure. Absolute opposite problem in this case. JF
And because that is made from dimensional lumber it looks much fancier to me than a similar one which would be made from a log and sticks.
Yip Man wrote a book on using all the forms (all 116 forms) it’s out of print but it has a gold cover. I used to have it, I need to dig it out of my closet. I practiced WC for 3 years and I loved it. I want to get back into it.
turned out better than I anticipated! good work, the leg sticks out a bit far and you'll want a sturdier base if you want to hit it with power but nice build. 💪
Thanks and greetings from Pereiratopteam 🙏
this is great . thank you. gonna build mine from big fat table legs
When you were wondering about drilling, my first thought was of Roy Underhill, who uses a variety of antique augers on his show with a bit brace. The bit brace seems to have been invented only in the 15th century, which seems pretty recent. The very first drills, dating back about 35,000 years, were just a stick with a flint tip that you rotated by rubbing the stick between your hands, and this kind of drill, without the flint, is still commonly used to make fire by survivalists and bushcrafters. Later, bow drills were common, and the pump drill was invented in Roman times. Chris from Clickspring made a pump drill in his series on recreating the Antikythera mechanism.
Oh, also the first electric drill was patented in 1889, but the familiar pistol grip style drill with a trigger switch wasn't invented until 1917 by Black & Decker.
When I was a 12 year old boy scout I drilled a perfect hole in a piece of pine just spinning the tip of my pocketknife against the wood, by hand, kind of slowly. It worked perfectly. Later on I made pump drills like the Iroquois used, that are not much of a step down from electric drills for small diameter holes.
So sick!!!! I wish you showed how you figured out how to drilled it
It may have been easier than finding a log but I doubt it was cheaper since I you know someone with a decent tree that has fallen or they need down it I basically free. I do appreciate the numbers since I had a tree fall and am going to be working on building my jong
Plenty of round trees and small logs around or old telephone poles to work with . That's my thoughts .
Sure makes me wish we had a saw and other tools, nice video, inspiring !
It looks really good. Maybe a small thing you could do drill a small hole going down on the little bits that pop out in the back so you can put a peg in there and they won’t fall out
Dziekuje bardzo! CZESC.
What kind of glue did you use? Can you post a link to it please? Thank you
Go on a surprise 💯🤯🙏
To answer your question about the holes I couldn't confirm how they did it originally but if you watch TOMMYBOY6969's channel his construction goes very indepth and he actually cuts them while they are still in two halfway in order to get the angles right because they actually cross over each other at about a 20 to 30° angle and that is probably the #1 thing I see most people get wrong about homemade dummies but its hard to reproduce if you don't know how to do it. Nice video and nice dummy
I have a log that similar to a wing chun dummy. I don't know how I can keep it stable.
My middle school shop tea her Mr. Odom would have taken so many points off your grade for all the safety violations durring construction. 🤣
But im totally guilty of it to.
But nice job. I would have eye balled everything because i suck at math.
Nice...
Good job! What were the material costs?
Nice muk jong! And you're right, these things are thousands of dollars to go buy one ,.made for profit!
Thanks 👌👌👍👍👊👊🥊🥊🥋🥋🙏🙏
Well done bro!!
Wow
To my knowledge before drils they would have used a chisel to cut a deep mortise and tennon joint
Awe cool bro Gonny build us one😁💯
Muchas gracias su informacion su video exelente
Excellent video thank you 🤙🏻
I have a log with branches in the arms position. Log is about 3 ft tall, how do I have it higher and how do I secure it?
Lift it up on some kind of stand? JF
@@GoodandBasic I thought of that but nothing suitable that I can think of or to secure it.
...cool 😎..
Cool video.
Pretty sure that the reason a 2x4 ain't a 2x4 is that it's cut that size while the wood is still green, which is way easier on the saws. Then it shrinks as it dries.
You should try to find someone with a lathe large enough to turn the body.
Really awesome job. Im gonna try myself. Went to your blog to check out the pdf instructions and the link lead me to a 404 error page.
Thanks for the heads up. JB
Can you make me a dummy?
What were the lengths of the 2x3s and 1x3s for the leg?
Nice looking art keep it on
Just make me one.😂🙏👏
degree between the 2 arms is 20??
that was really neat
Not understanding why no plaining, even with a hand planer if necessary to turn the octagon into a round.
Quick inquiry for you, could you upload the materials in your description so, I could do this with my sons as a fun project or does it not matter what kind of materials to use?
Come on Dave 😂
is there part 2 ,Thank you
how tall should it be ?
Not sure if i missed this in your video but how did you drill through at the angles for the top arms?
It was...hard. Basically, I used an electric drill to go at it from both sides. I drilled five holes, one at the center and one at each corner. Then I used the chisel and drill alternately to remove all the material inside. Easily the hardest part of the build. Probably the only way to make it much easier is to use a large diameter bit (say 1 inch or larger) and just insert the arms into circular holes. They would rotate, but that might be worth it for the relative ease. JF
Very cool project. I'm interested in making one myself. I'm curious about (estimated) cost of materials and total time in hours (or days) in making one. Thanks for sharing.
Yes! Channel your inner Tony Furguson!
Nice job
FYI - the reason for the big 'braces' you see on the (especially indoor) dummies is so that they "bounce" back and forth a bit when you hit the main body of the dummy. Ideally the body dummy (and the arms) are going to have give (like a real body would).
Also - if you're putting the dummy together from planks, wouldn't it be cool (and maybe easier) to cut the holes for the arms before gluing the planks together?
You would get some glue squeeze-out in the holes.
I love it it's a great job with the basic tools that you had check out Tommy boy he shows you how to do it without drilling the holes
I'm about to down a tree with a 1ft diameter and I plan to use a section of the trunk to make one of these
That would be my way My Property is full of Trees I can take my pic . Standing dead or live .I have a lot of projects as it is ,But this would make a good addition to my man cave.Funtional art work.No martial arts skills here , But as long as my index finger works I'll be Ok.
🎉😮😊
Nice
Like your build and that you did such a good job with what experience you have.
I'm looking at using similar wood for making me one. How's your would been holding up after a year?
I've stored it outside but under a roof. One year later it's just fine, including the glue joints. 👍 JF
Great idea on your build. Thank you for sgaring. How heavy is that?
I would say 50-ish lbs, maybe a little more. JF
I can see them 😂
HI there! Thank you such an awesome video. I also would like to build one. You mentioned you have the details available to make it correct?
Yes. On our website. Goodandbasic.com. JB
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm doing the same now in Canada. Nobody in this country sells these.
There's a reason it cost $2,000 lol 😂 but great job bro you did the thing
There getting rolled back😂
LOL, in the 1800s and up to about 1940 a 2 x 4 was really a 2 x 4 inch board. I lived in old houses that had them in the framing. The lumber industry started rounding off the edges to smooth the boards out and make them less splinter giving. Then it became standard to make them like 1and 3/4th by 3 and 3/4th. they used the excess wood to turn into particle board that started out cheap, but now that shit, And I do mean Shit is expensive and a serious fire hazard, and doesn't hold up to weather or getting wet.
I totally hate that they build houses out of this crap.
I hate, and I mean Hate Particle Board. I make my own furniture with Real wood, and or super high grade Plywood.
When I frame, I use what they call 2 x 6s now for more structural integrity.
Anyway good job on the Wing Chug Dummy.
Can you make a wing Chun dummy do I have to pay?
You can buy punching pads to wrap around it for like 30$
before auger and drill was hammer and chisel
and before hammer and chisel was stone hammer/ axe
and before that was tying with vines
and before that was us in trees
= )
as you progress and study you will build ever better "dummies"
by version 6 -10 you will have achieved a near perfect personal design
With an Indian soundtrack.
I WANNA LEARN VERY BAD ON HOW TO MAKE THESE
Why didn't you sand it down it's smooth. Instead of cutting it
Do I hear shooting in the background?
Hammer
Not bad for somebody that doesn’t have the right tools
i think when he says lath he means l-ay-th LOL
You would have been better off with PVC pipe a lot cheaper than what u went threw. That’s how I build mine.
There was drills probably before kung fu lol
You could make and sell
sand and stain and your ready
Cheaper to buy one. Time is money. Yours looks great though. Arms are too low for you.
"Lathe" rhymes with "Dave", not "Gaff"! Have you only read it maybe? I can only imagine you haven't heard anyone say it.
One of you two butchered "Scythe" the same way. Are you guys in a desert of tool using people? Never hearing these words in conversation?
We've actually done a video on a spring lathe, if you look at our UK 2019 Bushcraft show videos. I just have a bad habit of mispronouncing it 😂 JF
It's to short for your height
Indian ahh intro
Yeah I think he over complicated it, you can just by a rounded and then start from there, but maybe for ironfist makiwara style
creativity is what gets us further in life
Great build. Camera work crap
Your dummy is too low.
Arms shud be same level legs too long
Thanks 👌👌👍👍👊👊🥊🥊🥋🥋🙏🙏
