I love how you came to this conclusion and jig on your own I’m going to a trade school for carpentry and the jigs already exist for 45, 90, and 22.5 degree cuts to and I think you can get custom ones too but the fact that you figured it out and made a jig on you own is great
Jig making was a core skill for just about every carpenter until the last few decades. Thankfully, we have a few kind and talented souls on TH-cam preserving the art and passing it down.
I love the way you show so much detail you run through it yourself so you know what other people will think about to start while doing it tips and hints and hands on troubleshooting and facts this is something I am going to make my dad so thank you x
I made a bunch of the octagonal ones at once for my TTRPG group. First difference: Sanded down 1" dowel rods for the handle. Biggest difference: 3" wide Oak instead of the smaller oak in the video. With 7.5" of height for the volume, that means these suckers hold nearly 2 Liters. They are ridiculously large, and ridiculously awesome.
Great products. I made a stein similar to your second one a few years ago. I threw in some charcoal started fluid and lit in on fire, then sanded off the charred portion with a piece of sandpaper and my fingers. It was pretty effective and very easy. The only problem I had was that the lip got burned through in one spot... I call it character!
One more thing.... shellac is dissolved by alcohol, so be aware that the stronger drink you put in the more often you may have to re-finish it. I have heard that walnut oil is good for wooden steins, but I have no experience with it
I made a cup like this as a kid for Mother's Day but I used a piece of wood I found in an abandoned garage and I put the angles on by rubbing them on the garage floor... It took a long time but I had nothing better to do. I never got to glue it or anything, it was just wired together, then my older brother destroyed it because he didn't know how to make anything... I showed my mom the pieces and she was upset w/ my brother for a little bit but not too long. She gave me super glue to glue it all back together and I never knew what happened to it but apparently it fell apart and got used for something else.... At least now I can do it w/ the proper tools and permanent glue or epoxy. 🍺😁👍
I also have 'made' my own stock removal knife out of a metal file, hammer handle, using an angle grinder, dremel, stain, stainless steel bolts, JB WELD, and hours of hand sanding.
@@tonsonbloodaxe2605 yes! I honestly considered it for this build. In hindsight I wish I had but once I get an image in my head, I really wanted to see these made.🤣
@@SkillTree yeah walking in the woods in the fall or spring is best the younger antlers break off in the late summer and fall and we find them alot honestly.
Nice work my friend. I'm Brazilian and I enjoy your videos. I would like to ask 2 questions: 1- what secret to waterproof inside the mug, you apply what inside the mug, stain, sealer, does not taste in the drink? 2- the glue that you use to join the wooden parts, with time does not come loose due to the drink that goes into the mug, and what type of wood do you use, pine?
Thank you for watching! 1. I used shellac for the seal. It's non toxic and has held up well so far. You can also use bees wax as long as you don't use hot beverages. 2. I used oak. Not sure how well the softer woods like pine would hold up but Oak so far has stayed in good shape. Regular titebond 3 wood glue.
@@SkillTree Titebond 3 is a must. 1 and 2 are not waterproof. I have also done similar mugs out of pine. Even multiple layers of finishing does not make them waterproof.
I made one from a tree branch with just chizles no metal though it was fun if I still had it or more branch wood of the opropreate size the rest of the old one I turned into planters
How have I never come across this channel? It's way underrated I wish I had a large following so I could blow up small channels that have great content.
Sorry for the delay. I am assuming you mean the first tankard. Each strip of 1/2" oak ended up being 6.5" tall, 1.5" wide at the outside and 1 1/16" wide on the inside. Their length is 7". Hope that helps!
Just skip the gluing and shellacing. You want unfinished charred (or toasted) wood in contact with Liquid Courage. Water proofing the wood defeats the aging process. (Tip: Embroidery hoops can be used in place of steel bands for small kegs, just make sure you buy the right size)
It actually held up well. I did have to reseal it once because the grain of the oak is so porous and widened more as it dried. But since then, no issues at all 😁
The second one - love it, but the first one will start leaking in time, since anything stronger than your average pisswasser will slowly dissolve wood glue. I am not experienced enough to tell you how to fix it tho.
You may have answered this already, but do you spay the stein only on the outside with the shalack or do you also spray on the inside? If you do spray on the inside, do you do it before or after the assembly, and how?
Surely, if you only angled one side by 45 degrees, you would only need one cut and it would still make a circle so long as you face the pieces correctly.
So far so good! The drilled out one started leaking through the pores at the bottom a bit so I let it dry out and used melted beeswax. No issues since😁
Hello! Thank you for watching. The first mug was red oak and the second was white oak, I believe. The white can be challenging because it is way more porous though.
Hello, so I was attempting to make my own beer Stein, about the same way in this video but after the glue up I had a lot of dry glue left over on the inside of the mug and it looks bad. I tried a sanding mop bit and a few other things but I can’t get anything in there to remove the dried glue.. Is there something you did to mitigate this? I’m having a hard time.
Just an FYI that's not a Stein but iw a wood Tankard. A Stien is only made from clay. Also Stien is Stone in German, so Stien is referring to stoneware aka clay.
im trying to make a very similar stein and Wass just going to s=use the same amount of strips, so unless I missed it, what is the thickness of the strips (from inside of the mug to the out) or does it even matter?
I like your problem solving. Especially the drill powered sanding disk. Not trying to call you out, but is there a particular reason you spelled 'tourniment' the way you did?
He said a food grade shellac. Not sure it would work with beer due to alcohol. Flaxseed oil is human safe where linseed oil is not necessarily human safe. So maybe you could seal with flaxseed oil? One source suggests mineral oil is an option. Not sure if there's human grade and non human grade mineral oil, but they sell mineral oil as a laxative. But you could seal with mineral oil according to some sources. I guess just do your own research. I wondered if beeswax is an option as well. One source suggest beeswax mixed with mineral oil as a general seal for wooden serving ware.

I’m glad you clarified the second one had personality, along with good curves. Gotta make er feel loved😉
they are both beautiful and I can take some awesome tips away from this video but the antler one is just *chef's kiss*
DUUDDEE!!! the second one with the grain structure and the clear finish almost makes it look like horn and not wood.
I KNOW! It fit so well with the antler!
yeah, i thought it was a horn too
Next time. I saw a pretty cool way to make a horn mug I would like to try.
Thanks!
I love the way you show so much detail you run through it yourself so you know what other people will think about to start while doing it tips and hints and hands on troubleshooting and facts this is something I am going to make my dad so thank you x
Loved the vid
Made one myself.
Super stoked....since this is my FIRST woodworking attempt.

Your solution for getting the right angle is brilliant.
This is a Genuine DIY! Basic tools easy and well explain guide! Cheers to you sir
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
That dog looking In and you saying peace had me in stitches 😂

This is the first video on this channel I've ever seen. This channel is awesome!
17:56 This is the best part of the video even with the two epic steins!
As a person with too many projects half done, and a larper. I just HAD to click subscribe and like. I will be binging your content soon.
One more thing.... shellac is dissolved by alcohol, so be aware that the stronger drink you put in the more often you may have to re-finish it. I have heard that walnut oil is good for wooden steins, but I have no experience with it
I love this. You learn so many different things and get to to use the skills you learn.
You have inspired me to start woodworking again. Thank you.
Ahhh I loved the first one!! I will TOTALLY make one myself noe, thank you so much for sharing you process, your jig is genius!!
I made a cup like this as a kid for Mother's Day but I used a piece of wood I found in an abandoned garage and I put the angles on by rubbing them on the garage floor...

You know.... the term 'stein' means stone. I like your process it shows a bit of cleverness. Hooray for you !
The second one is so cooool.... Need to make my own!
Great job!!!!...many thanks to share and learn about it... i am very clear now....greetings from chile ......
Jig is suppercool! Just a perfect idea. Thx 4 that. Now I can make that mug too!
Glad you liked it! That one took me a WHILE to come up with. Worked like a charm though.
Very nice. I made a test one out of pallet wood just for fun. I wood burned a D&D green dragon and used color pencil brfore adding the finish.
I also have 'made' my own stock removal knife out of a metal file, hammer handle, using an angle grinder, dremel, stain, stainless steel bolts, JB WELD, and hours of hand sanding.
I want to begin my crafting journey in few weeks and your videos are really inspiring ❤️
Personally I like the barbarian antler mug a little better, but they are both great. Good job
I'm about to tackle this project using 5.25 inch American cherry. Plan on making it like 18" tall, so... yes, absolute monster tank
bone carving would be neat to see how well you do in creating fasteners and other types of charms
I love tankard 2! I've already made one in the style of tankard 1, but I think I'm gonna tackle style 2 because it fits better with my character.
Nice job man. Excellent macgyver work on your jig. Pretty creative solution for not having the right tool.
Thanks! It took a fair bit of thinking for that. Thank you for watching!
Awesome steins!
I knew you were gonna make 2!! (Wonder how 🙄🙄) great project man! I love the dark finish on the mug! 🤜
Thanks bro!
awesome as always...those glasses tho 😎
🤣 yup, my blindness was getting the better of me.
So Glorious!
It's an amazing job, I'm going to do the second , 'cause I got the horn, greetings from Lima - Peru.
The metal definitely added some good character, but the antler topped off the second one really well! I’m gonna have to use some for a future project!
Thanks! Your gonna have to give me some lathe lessons though. Drilling it out by hand was a chore!
Skill Tree come on up dude! Just let me know when you are gonna be in the Boone area!
@@rockinrswoodshop will do!😁
Hand tools for the win 👍
Both of these are gorgeous pieces
I am empressed
Great stuff!@!
Thanks!
Fantastic! Well done!
Glad you like! This one actually tool a lot outta me 🤣
Oh I bet! I will for sure have to try making one of these for sure!!!
Ooooo! Now that you've made these mugs and the drinking horn!!!! I think it's tine for a horn mug!!!!!
@@tonsonbloodaxe2605 yes! I honestly considered it for this build. In hindsight I wish I had but once I get an image in my head, I really wanted to see these made.🤣
I don't even blame you they turned out so good!
If you walk in the woods you can find deer antlers at liest where I am pretty normally. But I'm from N.H. in a pretty heavy wooded place.
Hey! I am in NH all the time! I should take a walk and see what I can find.😁
@@SkillTree yeah walking in the woods in the fall or spring is best the younger antlers break off in the late summer and fall and we find them alot honestly.
This is awesome definitely trying some of these ideas out
I am digging the second one, love the horn 👍 😊
Glad you liked! It was a lot of fun to make.
actually very good now i gonna make 20 of them :D
What where the measurements of the wooden slats themselves? Just making a trip to the wood shop and would like to get the same.
Nice work my friend. I'm Brazilian and I enjoy your videos.
I would like to ask 2 questions:
1- what secret to waterproof inside the mug, you apply what inside the mug, stain, sealer, does not taste in the drink?

Hey up there. How about diy anodizing? I've heard you can also use food coloring as the color agent....how about it?
I made one from a tree branch with just chizles no metal though it was fun if I still had it or more branch wood of the opropreate size the rest of the old one I turned into planters
Just viewed your video or should I say two for the price of one. Really enjoyed them, your presentation is top dollar. Have now subscribed.
The second one was by far better. It looks the part whereas the first looked to be more store bought.
QUESTION! what slack or stain did you use??? I want to try making these but not sure what to use.
love this.... might make one for my viking persona (SCA)
Cool! What's their name?
How have I never come across this channel? It's way underrated I wish I had a large following so I could blow up small channels that have great content.
would you have the plans for your jig so other can make it as well.
Does anyone know if these can hold hot drinks as well as cold ones, eg hot chocolate or tea.
Great tutorial, I'm sure I'll try it sometime
Awesome! Share it with us if you do! I would love to see how it comes out.
What are you going to do about the wood's water absorption?
make a leather travelers backpack! i think it would be neat, and its something you dont see made often. . .or at all really. but super usefull!
100% something I will do soon. I have another bag slated in the next couple of weeks but I will add this to the list for sure!
@@SkillTree Haha! sweet, super excited to tune in!
Wooden Tankert...to be a Stein (german word for Stone) it needs to be stoneware or earthenware (cut from Stone or shaped from Ceramic/Clay)
shellac is a great food safe option BUT: the solvent for it is alcohol
Excellent! What were the dimensions of your strips? About how much beer can your stein hold? Thanks!
Sorry for the delay. I am assuming you mean the first tankard. Each strip of 1/2" oak ended up being 6.5" tall, 1.5" wide at the outside and 1 1/16" wide on the inside. Their length is 7". Hope that helps!
Thank you sir , i impressed a fine woman that loves mugs
Happy to be of some assistance!😁
"If" you have a chop saw (i looked up what the over the top one is called), that might work as well couldn't it?
You can also use this technique to make casks for aging liquor :D
Just skip the gluing and shellacing.
You want unfinished charred (or toasted) wood in contact with Liquid Courage. Water proofing the wood defeats the aging process.
(Tip: Embroidery hoops can be used in place of steel bands for small kegs, just make sure you buy the right size)
Do you take the 22.5 from 90 and set blade at 67.5 or just at 22.5.
If I recall correctly, I cut the 2x4 at the 67.5 this way the bit that was removed ended up being 22.5.
Awesome tutorial. One thing I wondered - how is the inside of the stein supposed to be finished given that it will contain liquids? Oil, wax maybe?
My seams were tight enough that using some food grade shellac did the job. Otherwise, bees wax would do nicely.😁
@@SkillTree Hi there. Thank you for replying. One more thing. Is the wood stain you are using food graded or it is safe because it is on the outside.
@@SkillTree uh don't use that with alcohol then because shellac is alcohol based so your finish will dissolve.
How did the second one hold up over the past few years? Since it was green, I wonder if it cracked or warped.
It actually held up well. I did have to reseal it once because the grain of the oak is so porous and widened more as it dried. But since then, no issues at all 😁
Makes me want some Kit Kats.
What is the width of the oak boards of the first stein
The second one - love it, but the first one will start leaking in time, since anything stronger than your average pisswasser will slowly dissolve wood glue. I am not experienced enough to tell you how to fix it tho.
You may have answered this already, but do you spay the stein only on the outside with the shalack or do you also spray on the inside? If you do spray on the inside, do you do it before or after the assembly, and how?
very nice
Surely, if you only angled one side by 45 degrees, you would only need one cut and it would still make a circle so long as you face the pieces correctly.
Does it hold water? Does it leak ?
How are they handling up so far
So far so good! The drilled out one started leaking through the pores at the bottom a bit so I let it dry out and used melted beeswax. No issues since😁
I cannot find geeked out’s video for this challenge so who won?
Where can I get the spray finish?
What’s the glue he used?
Good job..
A question..what kind of wood did you use?
Greetings from Italy
Hello! Thank you for watching. The first mug was red oak and the second was white oak, I believe. The white can be challenging because it is way more porous though.
Hey! Could you pass me the cutting measurements in centimeters? At 4:10
What kind of shellac did u use
Hello, so I was attempting to make my own beer Stein, about the same way in this video but after the glue up I had a lot of dry glue left over on the inside of the mug and it looks bad.
I tried a sanding mop bit and a few other things but I can’t get anything in there to remove the dried glue..
Is there something you did to mitigate this? I’m having a hard time.
Hello! Sorry you are having that issue. I am usually rather OCD with glue, wiping away excess before it dries. Have you tried a sharp chisel?
Cool stein! I am gonna make my own one day.. I hate math soo I'll take ur measurements. I lazy. I am gonna make it shorter tho.
Just an FYI that's not a Stein but iw a wood Tankard. A Stien is only made from clay.
Also Stien is Stone in German, so Stien is referring to stoneware aka clay.
11:10
he did the thing guys, he did the thingg!!
🤣 Might have been a little cocky there.
that face tho 🤣
👍👍👍👍
An old world way for waterproofong the wood joints when assembling would be to soak small gauge organic chords (like jute) in melted bees wax.
im trying to make a very similar stein and Wass just going to s=use the same amount of strips, so unless I missed it, what is the thickness of the strips (from inside of the mug to the out) or does it even matter?
Thanks for watching!. Each strip of 1/2" oak ended up being 6.5" tall, 1.5" wide at the outside and 1 1/16" wide on the inside. Hope that helps!
Is it a wooden Tankard ?
I personally don't like alcohol but I would happily share a drink with you I'll just take some tea but we would have to figure out who gets what stein
Guests choose! You can use whichever and I will happily use the other😁
Can you make a Mead Stein out of Horn, without cutting the horn at the closed end?
It may just be that I am a newbie here but, the link for Borg 3D dose not work or they have changed the channel so as not to have the TMT.
I like your problem solving. Especially the drill powered sanding disk.
Not trying to call you out, but is there a particular reason you spelled 'tourniment' the way you did?
Thanks! Oh no! Where did I typo?!?
Found it! Thanks!🤣
Do you need to seal the inside to prevent rotting?
I did indeed! I read that the shellac is nontoxic so I used that. That being said, beeswax would work well for this too.
What did you use to cover the mug with thats non-toxic to drink out of it? My mug leaves a wooden taste in all substances in it
He said a food grade shellac. Not sure it would work with beer due to alcohol. Flaxseed oil is human safe where linseed oil is not necessarily human safe. So maybe you could seal with flaxseed oil?

But you could seal with mineral oil according to some sources. I guess just do your own research. I wondered if beeswax is an option as well. One source suggest beeswax mixed with mineral oil as a general seal for wooden serving ware.
As in the Gentleman Bastard book series?
Shellac dissolves in alcohol though
First definitely going to try this one. But your link to borg 3d is broken, it links to a very different channel.
