When I made my pirate bottles I made a small skull rather unsuccessfully from foam clay. In this project I tried to make a better job of my skull sculpture. I used Monster Clay for the first time and was a little more successful with this model.

Off the Grid Makes 87 - A 'Clay' Pot from Banksia
Переглядів 296Рік тому
Banksia is a beautiful coloured timber but is quite difficult to work as it is is very open grained and quite soft. I think it suits this project though as I was going for a clay pot feel for the finished piece. This turning is inspired by African clay pots which I like for their rustic ornamentation combined with beautiful forms.

Off the Grid Makes 84 - Introducing Zentangles
Переглядів 8312 роки тому
During one of the Covid lockdowns in 2020 I came across this drawing concept and immediately became fascinated with the idea. I spent a fair bit of time researching the methods and ideas and diving into the making of these little drawings. Over time I think my skills improved and I certainly have been able to apply the skills I picked up to other stuff that I make. Wood turnings in particular, ...

Off the Grid Makes - 68 Wood turning a Cypress Pot - and dealing with Splitty Wood
Чудесная получилась мисочка!😊
Really liked the ages look from the dents 👍🏻 nice touch
Yep… that’s one way to do it.
I’ve been using a sawzall for my pallets. I’m going to try the shovel next time.
This is just what I needed mate. Need some shelves in my shed and don’t wanna pay anything for them and don’t mind doing the work 👍🏻
This will be perfect for a pirate cosplay :D
Does this also work with PET bottles (transparent soda water/lemonade bottles)? Not everywhere on Earth milk is sold in this type of white jugs. I only see car chemicals, cleaning agents or distilled water sold this way.
I wouldn’t want to live with that creepy thing! You did a great job of making it horrible!
That looks so real, would sure like to see more videos from you. You do a great job
Well done! Looks excellent.
A million year old fossil that’s bound to have a few imperfections!! You’ve done it again!!
Thats a bull or bison skull. Not a goat ;)
Clever
Great stuff... Just built a "door" 🚪 on my tiny cabin. Now I need a latch. That stupid wire I used last night to secure it doesn't hold up!!😂 My project today... Keep my door closed and keep my heat in!!🎉🎉 🔥
That’s very cool.
Very cool
If you'd rather the glue work quickly you can use super glue and accelerator. Awesome video 👍
Those electrical drawings are a thing of beauty!
That is brilliant! I love how smoothly the tickets come out. Gonna have to rewatch this multiple times!
Lovely little details 👌👌
Thank you for sharing this! I have a large older wooden pole for a light and I think the rosettes done in a spiral pattern around it might be interesting
Awesome video...

They look so light, how do you keep them from blowing away?
That is the worst music I’ve ever heard in any video on UA-cam!!
Dude seriously, amazing job, thanks for showing us this
Love turning weed pots
dang, super cool thx for sharing, sub
This is perhaps best tutorial I’ve seen, I feel confident I can make this! I’m not making for anyone to climb or I might not be so confident! Seriously thank you for taking the time to teach others what you do so well.
Is it 10mm or 12mm rope? Thanx...
Clear, simple and inspiring. Thank you.
Lawn & landscape company here, need more shelving, & have an abundance of pallets. You’re a G brother
Super erklärt. Dankeschön 🍀
these are amazing! hope mine turn out as well, thank you
So cool! Thank you for this cant wait to try 🙌🏽
Brilliant idea I ❤️it👏👏👏🥰👍🙏🇳🇵
Спасибо, всё понятно и отлично сделано! Красивая малышка)
for the gun
plzzzzzzz
I don't have exact plans, coz I worked from a photo. But they fit comfortably in a hand so that might give you some idea?
There's a ruler in shot at 00:14 that should give you an idea
Thanks, i drew a design and now i can see that it is almost the same size@@OfftheGridMakes
what are the dimensions
Beautiful!
I like the simple stylised design to look floral. I'd not considered relief carving with burrs to do this.... hmmm. Interesting possibilities.
another great video. Are the paints acrylic ?
Great video, thanks for sharing.
whats the weight limit per shelf ? wanting to build this myself and curious about the limit
Well that's a tough question. A lot would depend on wheteher you used screws instead of recycling the nails like I did. I guess they are cheap enough to do a destructive test on them?
So the brand you SAY its an M and a W okay then if you say so as what I see is a burn mark looks some thing like I e a clover I say good on ya try again
Thanks for the feedback. I look forward to seeing examples of your work on your youtube channel so I can be more inspired. Please send me a link?
My long-used brand mark has a W and an M. OfftheGridMakes was no doubt respecting my mark. Classy move, mate!
I watched that, and it definitely gave me confidence that I could manage it too. Thanks for the inspiration!
You can do it!
Please make owl skull
Super
Wonderful Work !!!
