Easy Brass Plating with a torch and brush
Hi! I made a cut out of a flying car from Harry Potter and my jig saw destroyed it! I purchased a new fine tooth blade before and it didn’t seem to matter. How on earth did it cut so clean!?
very helpful thank you !
Just build me one 🎉
Nice
Your jumbo Grinch. how many 8 x 11 sheets printer paper. To print out.?
*NOTE* at 1:07 I have the fence set at the thickness of the my walnut 1" NOT the thickness of the gang of boards. The next cut at 90 degrees to square them the fence is set at approximately 2" but should be dictated by your pieces.
I’ve been trying to make this unsuccessfully btw. After cutting at 60 degrees, then cutting back at 90, do you need to make two cuts on each piece at 90? You don’t mention that. And also how many inches do you cut at 90 degrees?
You cut all your strips with 60° angles making them parallelograms / /. You fence will most likely be set to the width of your gang of boards, but it is always best to.measure off your pieces. You'll be cutting off both sides of your strips removing /| and removing |/ so you should end up with a | | shape again.
69 degrees or 60??
60° edited for clarity
Sorry, another dumb question I hope you can answer: When making your 90 degree cuts, do you strictly do 1 inch or do you vary the distance in order to square? I finally got one finished but it’s a bit off. Still looks okay for amateur.
@@verb8m1 you'll want to make that 90 degree cut so it looks like the two wood species meet at a point
I followed this and after the 60 degree cut, back to 90, my cuts are no where near square. my boards were 2 inches thick; so cut at 2 inches. no way does this work. Any other suggestions?
Hi Ken when you make your 60° cuts you want them to be the width of your center board. So if your glued stack is .5inch-1inch-.5inch you would want to cut 1 inch wide strips and then turn them to cut them square at 90. Sorry for any confusion. It's been a number of years since I made this video so I may have to go back to make a note. If you've cut them at 2" already you can cut them in half. You may end just shy of 1" depending on your blade kerf but it shouldn't impact the final product.
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop thank you. Yes, you made a point of placing the wood correctly but no mention of the width to cut at 90!! Just said make initial cut the width of the gang of boards which is 2inches. Is that still correct?
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop thank you so much for your reply by the way
I think the width of the gang of boards is incorrect. At 1:40 in the video I've already cut the initial strips and then rotated the 90° to make the 90° cuts. They look more like 1" than 2" which would have matched the center board width, not the gang of board width. For the 90° cuts your squaring off the parallelograms turning them into rectangles. This exact measurement may vary a bit but essentially you want the cut to make the side pieces triangles. Cutting right where your two wood species touch. If you take a look at 2:10 you can see it looks like the walnut looks like / / so you want to make your vertical cuts like |//|
I think my originally intention for the cut the width of the gang of boards was for the 90°s was to square the pieces back up.
Can you tell me how/where you recommend to get the template printed ?
Your finished Grinch was completely different from the one at the beginning. Do you have a picture of the one you are standing next to at 0:37?
Good afternoon. That was actually just a window painting at a local business that I took a picture in front of.
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop It was very nice. Too bad you didn't get a full shot of it. I'm working on a Grinch similar to yours right now. I thought I'd give it a try.
Any suggestions on ordering from staples or kinkos what sizes would you recommend I print it out. I assume poster size but there are several options in sizing. Thanks for any help!
Afternoon Angie, the templates are all made to size so printing without scaling is what is important. Large format printers use rolls of paper so as long as you choose the correct width you should be fine. The alternative would be to print them on individual pages printer paper and tape/assemble/cut the template at home.
How did you score the lines before removing the paper? I just download your template !
Hi Paola. I used a X-Acto knife to score the lines through the paper. Then I traced them with sharpie between each layer of paint so I didn't lose them. After I got all the color paint how I wanted it I used a black acrylic paint for all the lines.
I purchased two templates but they downloaded instantly on my phone but I cannot locate them. I expected them to go to my email address? Can you help?
Good evening Tina I resent the order details to the email address you used during your purchase. This should include the link to download. Please let me know if you have any issues and I can email them manually.
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop I’m so sorry to keep bugging you. They still have not arrived. Maybe I made an error with my address?
@@tinakodanko3632 good afternoon Tina. I just sent you an email directly. Please let me know if you receive it.
Great video, I want to try this! How do you figure out how much material is needed to make a certain size board (say 12"x18")? I wouldn't mind having a bit extra, but don't want to come up short.
Is there a specific kind of plywood that I need to purchase as there seems to be many different kinds
Hi Jennifer. Ultimately there's not a major difference. This one was made using maple plywood as it has a very nice uniform surface for paint.
Thank you for this video! My husband and I made this yesterday and it turned out awesome!!! It saved him from putting Christmas lights on the house, ha!
Awesome Erin! I'm glad it worked out for you guys. My neighbors always love it.
Nice work. Does the chicken wire scratch up the arrows?
I shoot Easton carbon one shafts and have noticed not abnormal wear or tear.
What width plywood is needed?
I used 3/4 on this one to make it a bit more durable, but 1/2 would work.
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop I meant how wide is the plywood? Is 2 feet wide enough? Thank you
I would like to buy the templates, but your site seems to not be working.
Thank you for your interest please try going to olmsteadworkshop.com/shop/ to see all available plans
Where do I get the template?
Thanks for the interest Scott Family. I have the Grinch and other templates available on my website olmsteadworkshop.com/shop/
What on earth am I doing wrong / misunderstanding?.... after cutting the parallelogram, fence set at stack thickness ie. 2”, I can’t get even close to squaring up, rotating the parallelogram so the maple is on the sides. A cut to square up starts at about half way up the maple, leaving a 60 degree “chamfer” on the maple sides. After ruining several pieces I tried drawing it on fusion360 so I could adjust the dimensions without wasting wood. I get the same problems. I love your video & altho it seems clear I’m apparently missing something. Hopefully you understand my explanation & can help.
After cutting your 60° parallelograms, and rotating your pieces at 1:45 the blade should be set back to 90° to square your cuts. You're then cutting off the tips of the parallelograms. The shot at 2:10 shows all my cut pieces. The walnut, and cherry still look like parallelograms with the maple looking like triangles. Together they make a square. I hope this clears it up.
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop thank you so much for trying to help my denseness I really appreciate it. I looked at mtmwood that you referenced. Using it I was able to salvage my pieces by cutting the parallelograms narrower, roughly 1”. Everything else the same. The maple pieces at .5” wide now on the sides, 60* & 2” total outside didn’t allow the 90* cut to make the maple triangles like yours at 2:10. By cutting the parallelogram narrower I got essentially squares like yours. ??? I must have got lost in the weeds somewhere but all good in the end. Thank you again for your video & guidance.
Thank you for this video. I’m having a similar issue at this point I cut the parallelograms down to stack thickness. When I go to bring them back to square I am cutting 1/3 into the walnut. It looked like your just barely. I don’t get it. I’m 1/2”,1”,1/2”. Cut at 60. Any thoughts? Thank you.
Great video!
3:18 That’s not really cool. It’s lazy
Well Laufield that's what's great about woodworking, art, and decorating. Everyone has different likes and dislikes. I've really enjoyed all the pictures people have sent me of their displays whether they're simple like my demonstration, or complicated. Thank you for your input and I hope you have a great rest of your year.
Seems as though you have more in common with this so-called "lazy" Christmas display than you realize there, ole' Laufield 😉😉 Merry Christmas!
Hi there any suggestions were I can pick up a set of plans like the grinch you made on the video so me and my son can make one.....
Hi Frank thanks for stopping by the channel. This would be a great father and son project. I have the plans available in my shop as well as a build article olmsteadworkshop.com/shop/
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop ok thank you if I order the plans about how would it take shipping to California
Hi Frank the template is an instant digital download so you will receive a couple different file formats facing left and right. They can be printed full-sized at an local copy shop with wide format printing capabilities, or instructions for printing and assembling at home on multiple sheets of standard printer paper are included.
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop Thank You
It’s been 3 weeks since I ordered my Grinch , can you please tell me how much longer it will be before I receive them?? Thank you
Hi Myrna. You should have received an email immediately after checkout with download links for your template. I also sent you an additional email containing a coupon code on November 10th for the Max template since you originally got 2 grinches instead of a Grinch and a Max. Please followup with me at contact@olmsteadworkshop.com if you have trouble finding them and I can resend them.
Omg! Lol thank you for being patient with me but I’m a little confused.😂 It’s not you, it’s me I’m laughing at. I did receive an email immediately after paying. I’m just really bad with technology and had no idea I was supposed to download links for my template. Does that mean I have to print it out myself? I don’t know how to do that. I don’t know why I was under the impression that the templates would be mailed to my home.
@@MrsDreamer1 no worries Myrna we could all use a little help sometimes especially this year. You have a couple options for printing. You can print it full-sized in one piece at a copy center like fedex/Kinko's, or included in the download are instructions to print it out at home on multiple standard printer pages that can be taped together to make the full-sized. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to email.
Lol I’m so embarrassed but I have another dumb question.... Do I show kinkos my email code? How will they know what to print out?
Myrna you would need to provide them with the PDF file so you could save it to a thumbdrive. Please feel free to email my at contact@olmsteadworkshop.com if you have any further questions.
Another way to do that is to use a powder form of the metal.
Looks great but I think larger lights would sell it more. The dimension of the mini lights and the size of the Grinch are not in proportion to each other.
I just ordered 2 Grinch templates but do you have a template of the Grinch’s dog? If so can I please switch one of my Grinch’s for one the dog? Thank you!
Thank you Myrna! I just sent you an email with a coupon code you can use to Download the Grinch's Dog Max.
Where do you order the template from

@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop do you also have a "Cindy Lou Who" template by chance?
Thank for stopping by the channel@@annetteroy7905 I have Max and Cindy Lou in two different sizes now in the shop olmsteadworkshop.com/product-category/templates/
Can I just buy this from you? I cant cut wood :)
The step of framing the end grain portion of the board is essential for reducing tear-out when you send it through the planer. End grain and planers don't mix well. Until just recently I would just put a sacrificial piece on either end of my end grain boards and then just cut them off. I now put a piece of either contrasting wood or a species that is also in the main part of the board. Makes for a nice connection and protects the end grain from tearing out. I have also found that a belt sander following the planer step gets me to the RO sander much quicker. Finally, after going up to 220, I raise the grain with denatured alcohol, go back to 150 and proceed to 320. Sometimes I raise the grain again. I really appreciate your discussing the dimensions and the angles - thanks for that.
Those are all great tips Rob. When I first shared this video there was a lot of discussion on mixing short and long grain and whether or not it would lead to splitting. Like you I like the decorative contrast. Since this video I've added a drum sander to the arsenal which is much much kinder to the end grain. I'm glad you liked it. I don't post videos as often as I'd like but I try to make them entertaining and informative.
looks awesome! How would one go about printing such a large template? lol
Fedex Kinkos does it, doesn't cost much either
I know not everyone’s got this, but I’m gonna make this and use a projector and outline it, then cut.
Staples took me 10 minutes
That is a great way to make tumbling blocks! Thank you! Why don´t you use end grain around the edges as well?
Thanks Maggie. I'm still learning a lot myself, but I like to show people that you don't need to have the fanciest shop to get some amazing results.
The end grain needs to have a piece of EDGE grain next to it, to support those grains as it goes through the planer. Otherwise, the planer will just tear the edge grain wood away from the remainder of the cutting board.
Yes, but the board is subject to cracking because the grain direction is not all uniform, so expansion forces won’t be uniform. Thanks for the video!
Liked and subscribed! I also commented on your blog. Thanks!
Subscribed & liked the video. Do I get the template for free? ☺️
Love i need this template!
Thanks Caitlyn I'm glad you liked this project as it was a lot of fun to make, and was a big hit with my neighbors last year. I do have the template available as a digital download in my store olmsteadworkshop.com/product/grinch-christmas-cutout/
do you happen to have a "Cindy Lou Who" template too?
Great video! Thanks so much for all the info. I've seen some people set there saw to 60º and some set it to 30º. Not sure it really matters, but just curious.
The 2 different angles you mention are really the same thing. Just measured from different points. 60* is measured from the table and 30* is measured from the point where the blade is at 90.
What are the dimensions of the wood that you started with?
I've checked out other videos on how to make this board. Your video is the only one that makes any sense to me on how it's done. I liked how you explained each step as you were doing each step. No music or stupid sound effects to get in the way either. Nice job.
Thank you Roc. I know how tough it can be sometimes to try and teach yourself a new skill so I try to make it easy to follow, and show different techniques when possible. I have some more videos in the works so be sure to stay tuned!
Where is Evey getting 1 inch plus thick boards. I can get 13/16 in rough boards or have sawmill saw the size I need but it's wet. I need kilmed dry 1 inch boards. Just can't find it. Suggestions?
Hey Bob typically I get mine from a hardwood dealer. I have gotten 12/4 Walnut which is about 3" thick there before. You'll save money and have greater selection over any traditional big box stores or Rockler. In southern California I use San Marcos hardwood co.
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop ok thanks, the hard wood place nearest me don't have that thick of boards
@@bobhoffman8717 the hard wood dealer I use is a good 45 minute drive from me. Not always convenient, but greater selection and prices. I drive a subaru outback so I'm usually strapping lumber to the roof rack to get it home.
I had the same issue that you did a while back - hard to find nice dark walnut or nice red cherry in that thickness. First, I milled all my lumber (maple, cherry, and walnut) to 3/4" and then I laminated two pieces of walnut together and two pieces of cherry together. The important thing is the ratio - the maple has to be half thickness of the cherry or walnut.
very nice! I was wondering, if i can stack them up and glue together so i can make a bowl using your method, thanks and keep your video's coming, thank s again Bob
Thanks for the subscription Bob. You could do it like that, but I'm not sure how efficient your wood use would be. Typically how I've seen people do bowls with this pattern is they rip their rhombuses and glue up a bunch of individual groups too make hexagons what ever size they need to turn and then glue them all up using a band clamp.
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop thanks for getting back to me so fast!. Yeah I would waste a lot of wood not I tried the way u suggested, my saw was off, so never did work out. Just wondering if it would work stacking them up. Thanks
I just purchased my SUPERMAX 19-38. Can't wait to set it up. Thanks for the video.
Still no plans?
Lovely looking board mate 👍
Thanks Sumo! Walnut doesn't get enough credit for its figure compared maple and cherry, but I really liked how the wave in this board looked with the lighter sap wood.
It turned out AWESOME!! Loved the the more Vlog-ish style of this video!
Are you sure that first cut is the same distance as the height of the stack? i.e. 2inches? cause it doesnt work out when i model it in sketchup. Maybe im doing something wrong? Thanks
The very first cut was approximately an 1/8 just to maximize the amount cuts I was getting out of the boards. When cutting the first set of strips they should the width of the thickness of your glue up. What are you seeing in SketchUp?
@@TheOlmsteadWorkshop Thanks for the reply! Yeah sorry, i meant the width of the strips. So blde set to 60 degrees and distance from fence to blade at table surface is 2 inches with your glue up? In sketchup with the 2 inch strips the second cut to square up the rhombus doesnt work. it cuts into your mid layer. It works out to make the pattern if you have the width of strips at 1 inch
I didn't give an exact measurement to square the rhombus as it can depend on a few factors such as the thickness of the blade kerf, and the precision of the milling and gluing of your boards. If you take a look at 2:13 in the video not all of mine are exactly perfect 😅. The finished impact is the corner of a cube might not meet exactly lined up at a corner of the one next to it, but when cutting and organizing your strips for the final glue up any small imperfections are scattered as strips are flipped and rotated. The video thumbnail is the exact boards I built in this video if you want to try and spy some imperfections 😉
Is is supposed to be a roumbos?
Awesome
Nice - Enjoyed - Don't understand why you don't have more subs. Maybe you just need more content!
Thanks clutions for the feedback. I am working on getting more content up in the near future, and on a more regular basis so please stay tuned.
will the heat ruin heat treats?
This was done on some mild steel hairpin legs which weren't heat treated. Getting your part hotter than it was when it was originally tempered would ruin the heat treatment.
Hey there! love the video very helpful with some questions I had about making this board. Thank you! Keep up the great work. As you move forward in your Chanel you should include full plans and cut list for your project
