Pretty much all the wood I use is scrap. I work at a concrete factory, and i collect offcuts and other scrap pieces of formwork plywood. Right now I am in the process of making a lamp for my livingroom. I make it from 20mm (~3/4") strips that I have planed the outer resin layers off of and glued together, so that the ply layers become a feature, rather than something to be hidden. I have already made 2 table tops for workbenches using this method, and they look amazing! :)
I am a flyfisherman & I used to use chestwaders daily. They were not drying between uses, so I made a rack that would hold them upside down in the garage, attached to a shelving unit. Gravity helped me dry them daily. Scrap 1x4x10. Simple but effective.
When I owned and operated a home improvement business, I loved having surplus material for whipping things up around the house. I made a jig in the shop for building my own version of a tough shed and would sell them sharing the money with my children who painted them.
We have become a society of throwaway. I love to see when somebody takes something that is a remnant of another project and turn it into something else. I worked for a company many many many years ago that would not hang on to anything that was a remnant unless they could make something else out of it and the problem was is that you can always make something else out of it. So I would take a lot of the scrap foam and things like that that they made one project out of but the thing was freaking huge. It was a size of a window and I take it home and I would put it up in the window to block out the window so I can sleep during the day. And one other thing would happen is that I could put it in the window and it would also insulate the window and make my room warmer in the winter or keep it cooler in the summer. There's always something you could do with things. You just have to use your mind and let it be creative. Scrap is not scrap. It's remnant from something else just because one person can't use it doesn't mean somebody else can't
So funny to see you go through all this trouble but meantime there is a Co2 Laser standing in your shop that you could have used at 1/4 of the time and without any fancy jigs and flush trim routers 🤔
What’s funny is that you actually think that I own a Co2 laser and that I don’t know that I could make this project using it lol 😂 No, I think you missed the point entirely. Firstly, I enjoy making things with my hands… call me old school if you will but I use technology at a minimum to help me make things with my hands. Plus, I made the templates to demonstrate how someone without a laser or cnc could accomplish the exact same product with the same accuracy and repeatability. Not everyone can afford a Co2 laser buddy… I’m fortunate enough to have saved and sacrificed for it over the course of several years and I’m not about flaunting some expensive machine that can make something without humans being involved. Furthermore, my channel is about helping the majority of makers out there to be able to make fun stuff with minimal tooling… but from your comment, I’m guessing you’re the type of maker that wants to place a board in a machine and press a enter button and then call themselves a woodworker or carpenter or maker. No offense, but you’re comment is seriously funny to me and definitely shows that you’re not a an actual maker.
@@DesignsbyDonnie @DesignsbyDonnie Actually I'm an old school artisan who qualified as a Turner machinist on conventional machines and been working in the aviation industry for 30 years, working on major aeronautical projects developing tooling and fixtures using nothing more than basic knowledge and skills and conventional machinery to make it easy for the production guy down the line. Prototyping was most part of my work and hand crafted components is still part of my every day job. So yes you right I had no right to to correct you on using old school method when technology is right beside.
You see my guy? The pros don't use plexi for jigs. Tell your fans to oil their bearings or their router will do bad things. TH-cam is funny, we do this but🤔
Sure made stuff from scrap material. Unfortunately I never had the scap to make the templates, which I would assume cost more than the scrap and were made to make more than one stool, to make it.
I’m a lifetime maker! It’s in my blood… I’m not out to buy the cheapest crap I can find in a store… I’m going through life making things with quality and passion and enjoying every minute of my time doing it.
Super fun, super enjoying it, super template, ffs enough with the supers, can the world or Americans specifically find a new word to drop multiple times into every sentence.
It was designed for plywood labeled 3/4” thick which in supply stores will actually be 21/32” thick which is basically hair less than 3/4”. But you don’t have to make it with plywood. You can use it for solid wood too.
The top must show out bigger than the base in the video but the reality is it’s the perfect size. We use it daily and I assure you that it’s very stable 👍
The way you routed that circular piece near the end was really risky, i would not recommend. Its so easy to lose your grip or put too much weight into a circular pieces like that and accidentally jam your finger into the bit. Having some kind of nail or something in the dead center of that piece would be better but still, i think youre playing with fire on that one.

😂 I only use scrap material, cant afford new.
I jus say I'm recycling
😂😂
Eeeeey! Scrap bros! 😂
Proud? Really? My kids made tables out of hand tools in school..... no templates or routers.
Same here, building up the modifications of a ultra cheap scrap motorcycle from scrap iron from customers 😂🤣

That was a great idea and solved your issue. So cool 😎
As a fellow woodworker, I can tell you that almost half my sales are from smalls made from scraps.
I have a kids rocking chair that would go with it really good. It’s 4 pieces.
Yes, i had. A Fire 😂. Very nice 👍🏼

Let me get that template.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

No woodworker uses the TERM “Super Fun”????😂😂😂😂
Now make one that's 19" high and holds 300lbs
Make it a bigger stool. Would love to watch that. Amazing stencil and craftsmanship. Would love to have a machinery like yours.

My whole life is building stuff out of scrap materials
I can relate to that.
As a welder/artist/musician I built all sorts of scrap art!👍
But you didn't show the cnc machine that did the hard part and made the plexi templates.
I think thats a given
It's all scrap.
Sometimes it starts as scrap,
Sometimes it ends as scrap😮
Lol 😂 I can relate to that for sure
Nice Job! Do me and yourself a favor and keep your band saw guard 1/4 above the material- much safer and you will brake fewer blades :)
He seemed genuinely surprised that what he was making turned out to be functional.
Lol 😂
Why use the band saw when you have a $13k laser sitting next to it?
So he only has to make 1300 to break even lol
wasted so much by putting circle template in the center. could have saved some of the leg piece but the center piece was so wasteful.
45milion worth of machines "I had allot of fun". Yeah, I can imagine, 99% is done by machines 😂😂😂
Everything was made by hand 🤚 not sure what you mean.
@@DesignsbyDonnie no, you used your hands, there is a big difference😂😂😂
Casually says, " I added half laps" ,like it wasn't already part of the templates you're using.
You see my guy? The pros don't use plexi for jigs. Tell your fans to oil their bearings or their router will do bad things.
TH-cam is funny, we do this but🤔
I think that may be an opinion as I have dozens of friends that are pro’s and they all use them. It’s a nifty tool to use for repeatability
"If you don't have this expensive tool, don't worry you can use a cheaper tool. Now to use an even more expensive tool..."
Can use a jigsaw and hand router lol
Most of what I use is scrap material!
I most definitely use scrap pieces a lot.
All my projects are scrap. I spend money on tools. Never wood.
this is awesome
Almost every table in my shop I made from “ scrap” / extra material
Sure made stuff from scrap material. Unfortunately I never had the scap to make the templates, which I would assume cost more than the scrap and were made to make more than one stool, to make it.
Yes you’re right. I make the templates so that I can keep repeating the build anytime a customer orders a stool 👍
I'm building a chicken coop out of all scrap wood and pallets
Where did you get the clamps? Brand and sizes?
Yes but I've also made scrap materials out of something
Is this pattern available? Thanks
Yes it’s available, here is the link designsbydonnie.com/templates/
Where do you get those perspex templates from?
good idea, where do they sell the templates?
$5 gets you a stool at any hardware store. What's your time worth?
I’m a lifetime maker! It’s in my blood… I’m not out to buy the cheapest crap I can find in a store… I’m going through life making things with quality and passion and enjoying every minute of my time doing it.
@@DesignsbyDonnie → I certainly understand that and wish you well. In my life I find I can't make everything and pick my work load judiciously.
Beautiful ❤️
Where did you get the template?
Hey man, here is the link to the templates designsbydonnie.com/templates/ 👍
Super fun, super enjoying it, super template, ffs enough with the supers, can the world or Americans specifically find a new word to drop multiple times into every sentence.
I didn’t realize that I said super that much. I’ll re listen
@@DesignsbyDonnie sorry, it's not just you, it's everyone. No one is ever excited anymore, everyone is super excited. It's ridiculous.
there are assumptions in template as to thickness of plywood. Exactly 3/4 or the newer narrower 3/4- Which is it ...interested in template
It was designed for plywood labeled 3/4” thick which in supply stores will actually be 21/32” thick which is basically hair less than 3/4”. But you don’t have to make it with plywood. You can use it for solid wood too.
@@DesignsbyDonnie Thanks for clarifying
you didn't add a half lapw and dados. they were included in the jig
Я уже 100шт таких сделал
I really like the little stool. Is there a pattern anywhere?
On his website
Here is the link to the templates designsbydonnie.com/templates/
Top diameter bigger than feet span. Unstable and dangerous to stand on.
The top must show out bigger than the base in the video but the reality is it’s the perfect size. We use it daily and I assure you that it’s very stable 👍
I wish I had those machines.
jigsaw and router is all you need, you can make a router table
Don't fret? What if all I have is a fret saw?
What tape do you use?
Where can i find those templates
Where did you get the template
designsbydonnie.com/templates/
Would be an awesome children's seat
Where can I buy that template ?
Here is a link to the project templates designsbydonnie.com/templates/
Now was that "don't fret" deliberate?
Came here to ask the same thing😂
I made scrap out of scrap materials
Hi there, any chance you could share the dimension?
same suggestion here hehehe
Where do i get those templates? 🤔
Here is a link to the templates designsbydonnie.com/templates/
@@DesignsbyDonnie Thanks Brother! This will be great for my 8 yr olds projects, that he can sell
~ Godspeed ~
No such thing as scratch plywood..
Where do you get the templets at ?
