Invite back to Repair This Build That today I'm going to reveal you 6 different presents that you can create that unique woman in your life.
I'm mosting likely to show you an easy way in a more difficult version for every of these Projects and also scattering in a lot of ideas as well as methods along the road as well as some epoxy. So allow's start with this simple wineglass caddy The DIY caddy is extremely straightforward you only require a little 1 by 4 to make it I started by grabbing a normal bottle of white wine that my other half as well as I could drink Sadly Boone's Farm was out of stock, however this will do See to it your biggest wine glasses will fit and for me that meant a 12 inch wide caddy.
I Cut the 1 by 4 down to size. Then I came back to the bench to expensive it up a little bit I made marks 1/2 inch in from each side as well as the caddy is gon na curve in from the facility of the long side on each side To these marks a very easy means to make a nice regular contour is to use a steel ruler as a bow. I eyeballed the contour that I needed and after that I ran tape in between the two ends of the leader as it was curved to hold that Curve in place.
It was a little as well superficial So I took the tape off and also changed it to dial it in right where I required. I mapped the contour of the leader with a pencil to set out my art Then I spun the 1 by 4 round as well as repeated it for the opposite now Jigsaw is an ideal Do It Yourself device for cutting curves. I adhered to the lines on each side and I had my form blank next I made marks for the holes that will certainly hold the bottle as well as the glasses I Placed the glasses 1 in 3/4 of an inch in from completions and also centered the hole for the container Then I drilled a 1 and 1/4 inch hole in the center complied with by 3/4 inch holes for the wine glasses I utilized a Forstner little bit below, however a spade bit will function equally as well.
I Significant each end for some notch cutouts to allow the wine glasses slide in and also The notches flared out from 1/2 inch at the opening to 3/4 of an inch at the end of the caddy After the layout I cut these lines with my jigsaw as well. I Made use of an arbitrary orbital sander to smooth the outer sides of the caddy for the following step Currently to round over the side of the edges I utilized my router I utilized a quarter inch roundover little bit for the holes and the notches After that I utilized an eighth of an inch roundover little bit on the external sides And also the smaller round over on the brink offers the caddy a lighter feeling by the bigger helps hold the glasses much better Which's it for construction from there.
I simply fined sand whatever smooth and after that I applied some dark discolor with a rag After the tarnish was dry. I applied a number of coats of a satin lacquer to give it a nice Shine and also some protection So in simply a hr so you can have a great little gift to couple with a bottle of a glass of wine and some glasses for display or travel Now if you intend to get a bit fancier as well as have a couple of even more tools than this a glass of wine caddy can be updated Instead of using pick yearn as well as discolor you can use some good hardwoods for color and also beauty I have actually obtained some mahogany walnut as well as maple below and Utilizing my jointer and table saw I can get a level edge on each strip and then rip them to size. I made the walnut in mahogany one inch thick in the maple accents one quarter inch thick and those accumulated to the 3 and a fifty percent inches much like the one by for The boards can be glued up in any kind of design you want so you can blend and also match as you please Just some regular wood glue here in some clamps After the adhesive up is completely dry.
I sent it through the planer to flatten every little thing out After that you have actually just left this appealing space and also it's a fair bit a lot more polished than that Do It Yourself version As well as if you're making one you may also make several of these because they're so easy to make So the very first caddy can likewise be made use of as a design template for the various other spaces currently Utilizing a drill press and also a bandsaw finish drilling the holes and making the account on the catch Yet it did still reduce the notches with a jigsaw the clean cut blades that I use provide a much smoother surface than the bandsaw as well as they barely require any kind of sanding I applied two coats of manufacturer brand names simple surface to stand out the grain and safeguard the caddy and it was looking terrific as well as Hey, if you like what you're seeing thus far and also you have not currently go ahead and also obtain subscribed And also for the second task I'm making two versions of precious jewelry owners for your special gals favored arm bands pendants in jewelry The DIY version of the precious jewelry owner.
We'll begin with an additional 1 by 4 for the base I reduced the piece to 16 inches as well as I use my bent leader technique to design a comparable curve like the white wine caddy. I Cut the contours again with my jigsaw and after that I fined sand the sides level with a fining sand sponge the next I outlined some marks 2 inches in from each end as well as in the facility of the board and no this isn't a Magnum red wine caddy however yes, the construct is really comparable to this point and that might be an excellent suggestion rather than drilling via holes in the board I used a 1 inch Forstner little bit to pierce down around 3/8 of an inch on each mark. I say to the sides and face And after that I rounded over the sides with an eighth of an inch roundover bit to end up the base for the precious jewelry holder the arms to hold the fashion jewelry will be 5/16 inch dowels installed right into 1-inch dowels that will sit in the openings that we just pierced and also this jig is gon na allow me drill focused openings through those 1 inch dowels I drilled through this item of plywood with a 5/16 inch bit seeing to it I stayed level backwards and forwards while the item of plywood was flat on my bench Now the plywood makes it easy to inform if you've wandered or not by looking at the plies Then I drew a line in between the access and also leave holes and also after that I simply pierced a one inch opening fixated that line to complete the jig currently the leading opening is a quarter inch from the face of the jig so I could put the 1 inch dowels purge into the Opening and also drill via the dowel and also have a sinnard opening After making the facility hole on every one I made a mark one in 1/8 of an inch down and I cut it to dimension on my miter saw as well as Does anyone see my dowel? anybody? After checking out for a little too long I went back to immediate replay as well as I saw that the dowel had actually obtained sucked up into the vacuum So for the following one I partly obstructed the dust and then reduce my other dowels to size as well as the dowels fit terrific in the base So I went on to the arms I cut 4 pieces at 5 and 3/8 of an inch in two items at 7 and 3/8 of an inch You can vary these do your choosing to fit your style.
I made a mark 3/8 of an inch in on each dowel as a visual indication for just how much I intend to install it into the 1 inch dowels Claimed it would have nice port and adhesive surface area To mount them. I place adhesive in the 1 inch dowels and put them right into that line that had simply attracted I Adjusted all the dowels prior to spray-painting them gold for a brass look and also applying discolor and also complete to the base before assembly While I'm completing this set up, allow's speak about today's sponsor distinct. You can obtain a complimentary 30-day test by mosting likely to audible.com/veritasium But I can stand out on a publication and I can discover something new or listen to fantastic story while I'm fining sand or waiting on glue to dry Recently, I have actually been paying attention to Sherlock Holmes as narrated by Stephen Fry It's from the initial stories by Arthur Conan Doyle in this audio publication is almost 63 hrs long which's a great deal of sanding and also it's just one credit Definitely like fries narration.
If you appreciate secrets and criminal activity novels. I think you'll dig this set, too Audible participants can select one audiobook as well as two distinct originals each month And also you can obtain your free trial and make your options by mosting likely to audible.com/fixthisbuildthat For the innovative version of the fashion jewelry owner I reduced a blank of walnut to website the exact same size as before As opposed to making arcs on the sides. I wished to clean straight lines I made use of a tapering jig on my table saw and also I referenced the two points for the cut on the side of the jig I went through the saw provided me the angle that I desired as well as repeating this process gave me a good angular base.
I Utilized the offcut of the base to make the holder for the brass arms that I'll be installing It'll have a thin account going from 3/8 of an inch on completions to 3/4 of an inch in the center After the base components were cut. I cleansed them up with a fining sand block and broke all the sides The brass rods I'm making use of are 1/4 inch. So I laid out in pierced openings through the edge of the tiny strip to fit them One hole was fixated the strip and the others were 4 inches apart on either side of it. I evaluate fit the brass bars and also they went in actually nice as well as tight so I prepared to glue down the strip To get the strip centered on the board I determined in 2 inches from each end as well as I placed a strip of tape there as a guide after that I noted the center of the base on the tape and I put a small mark on the center of each end of the strip I applied a very slim quantity of adhesive right here to ensure that I wouldn't have to manage any squeeze out which can actually be hard and Mess up your coating.
After that I aligned the parts on the marks that I've made as well as having benches mounted here Provide it a little a lot more weight and just made it a little less complicated to position And also prior to securing it down I inspected this strip for square and after that I locked it in position to dry While it was drying I cut 2 of the brass bars to size the ones I purchased can be found in 14-inch bars Which I'll link to listed below in addition to the various other items that I'm making use of today However I reduced the top and also lower bars to 10 and also a half inches for that diamond appearance Oh and do not reduce these on the miter saw unless you have a steel cutting blade.
Simply trust me on that one. I Applied two coats of manufacturer brand names straightforward finish to stand out the grain and it was looking terrific. I Ended up the owner off with some keyhole ports on the back for mounting this task festinated As well as it makes a fantastic place to maintain her favorite precious jewelry conveniently obtainable as well as on screen The last present suggestion we'll be making is a pair of short cuy boards The first one once again will certainly originate from one by fours, yet I'm upgrading to poplar from want I had some offcut of poplar without mistreated prior to I relocated them around up until I got the mix that I wanted But you might get this whole project from one six-foot poplar board just by cutting it up right into lengths.
I Cut two of the boards to 17 inches as well as one to 22 inches a poplar can have eco-friendly purple or dark streaks in it So utilize those to your advantage in your design I use the green in the manage for this As well as actually those environment-friendlies will certainly turn a wonderful caramel color over a few months as its exposed to light. I Glued up the three boards making use of a water immune glue and also just enough to offer me a little eject Now after thirty minutes, I came back and I scraped off that squeeze out just to make fining sand a little bit quicker When the board was completely dry took it out the clamps as well as I sanded it flat making use of sixty and eighty grit sandpaper on my sander And also with a level surface area I might reduce the base square with my circular saw and also layout for the deal with. I Made use of two 2 inch can as a guide and also some marks to make the manages somewhat more symmetrical Then I drew the shape by hand and cut it out utilizing my jigsaw. I Tidy up all the harsh edges and smooth my lines out After that I pierced a 3/4 of an inch opening in the take care of for hanging it now ultimately I completed the shaping by rounding over all the edges with a quarter inch roundover little bit for a great smooth.
Look The cheese board obtained sanded as much as 220 grit and afterwards I applied beeswax and an oil mix to seal the board It's an excellent energy serving board that you can make rapidly with just a little bit of material Now for the last task, I intended to attempt some brand-new points for a sophisticated meat as well as cheese board. That's ideal We're going full charcuterie here or as we like to claim in the south charcuterie a Fred past me a slim. Jim off that then their elegant charcuterie board. I Began with a little piece of walnut and I ran it with my planer to reveal some outstanding grain But the sides were gon na be a bit also slim as well as as opposed to losing the thickness to get the entire board level I simply reduced them off on the bandsaw.
I Cut the base square and after that I freehand attracted a natural shape for the take care of which appears to be in vogue these days Next I returned with a jigsaw and eliminate my shape once again The jigsaw leaves a finer coating than my bandsaw which indicates less job and sanding in the end. I state to the harsh edges and then I drilled an opening in the manage just like before yet this time I attempted to elongate the opening a little to maintain it that natural feeling I Round it over the sides with a quarter inch roundover bit And afterwards I gave every little thing a really great hand sanding to remove any kind of severe lines.
I fined sand all the way as much as 220 Currently you might stop right here and you might have a great shortcut reboard, but I intended to go an action further My better half has actually been interested in these material ocean items and also this board is so long I assumed it would be an ideal possibility to try it Now, allow me simply state I'm a complete noob at this I really did not have the most effective hardener accessible for this circumstance, but I wished to try it anyway The trick for me was doing some test items first to obtain the feeling for it and it aids that my buddy Jess from Crow Creek Styles is an incredible epoxy resin musician after a half hour on a video clip conversation with her I made some modifications as well as I was ready to tackle my pour As well as Jessa in fact has a course that she's introducing on just how to do these the right way I have a link in the summary that you can go check it out.
I taped off the bottom of the board and afterwards I blended 5 tiny mugs of resin I'm using this quick hardener right here, but a less aggressive hardener will make your life a whole lot less complicated To color the epoxy I used acrylic paint as well as I added some metallic pigment for a cool. Look I Did a navy blue and afterwards to lighter shades of blue as well as a white I? Poured Lee epoxy on in a slope and then I blended it with each other a bit and moved it about by turning the board Then I applied some warmth to it So it would certainly relocate a little much better as well as made sure I had coverage over those edges now You'll discover I made use of 2 mugs of navy blue and that's only because I'm using the quick hardener and also when I placed 2 mugs worth In one cup, the exothermic reaction just goes crazy as well as it literally melted the cup again Don't use quick hardener. I would certainly advise the slow-moving hardener and some perseverance And also when I would certainly covered the sides I set some white for the seafoam laundry And I make use of the warm gun to blow it back right into heaven now This is what gives that trendy sudsy wave appearance as well as you're just attempting to obtain some splitting up there After that I included another strip of white and also I blew that into the coast for the look of a crashing wave from there I just type of messed around with it until it looked how I desired Yet you do not intend to confess with it too much since it'll just start obtaining jumbled up If you do it too much I use the heat gun to stand out some of the bubbles and also I was good to go.
I eliminated the tape before the epoxy set and then I applied oil and also wax to the board to seal the wood Currently this epoxy is not food safe. So maintain your fine meats as well as cheeses on the timber and also not the epoxy Now for my first time I'm rather delighted with how this turned out. There's some bubbles and things it's nowhere near perfect But with some perseverance or a course like Jess's you can obtain some actually excellent results rather quickly Hey Fred, where's that slim? Jim, if you wish to check out a few other residence style projects as well as gift concepts You can check them out right there.
