Just sharing some of my woodworking builds.
Jig to Clamp Boards at 90°
Making my own clamping jigs for an upcoming project. It's a very simple and easy jig to make and should last me years to come. A great use of leftover plywood and true demonstration of a frugal upbringing.

Refinishing A Handmade Toy Box/Blanket Chest
Переглядів 911Місяць тому
I refinish and repair a toy box I made for my sister about 3 years ago. I get to use a new to me technique of face plugs and get creative with a repair for a loose rail. www.etsy.com/shop/SmokeyCreekWoodworks @smokeycreekwoodworks on instagram #smokeycreekwoodworks #handmade #blanketchest #toybox #refinishing
Morticed lock In Cabinet drawer
Переглядів 4482 місяці тому
A cabinet riser I built needed locking drawers, and needed to match the antique aesthetic of the customers home. So a traditional mortice lock fit the bill. I was able to use some red oak that I milled myself from 3 years ago. This was a fun, hand tool intensive way to get the job done. the push to open drawer slides really helped to clean up the face of the drawer and helped to highlight the c...

I was asked to make some cutting boards for Christmas 2023, so I thought I would film it. Made with walnut, cherry, and maple. Finished with tung oil. I also have cutting boards for sale on Etsy. www.etsy.com/shop/SmokeyCreekWoodworks smokeycreekwoodworks

Having fun with my 26 inch crosscut saw. smokeycreekwoodworks on Instagram and Etsy
What are the overall dimensions & are they the norm for all sizes? Thanks, nice idea.
Great idea I’m thinking I’ll be making some of them thanks
@@gregfraser3852 They are wonderfully effective.
That my good sir is the Cat's Meow. Thank you for the video, I will not be going out to buy a crap ton of clamp jigs. Only a few for absolute precision when needed but these are very well build along with being simple to reproduce if they ever become out of square or damaged and will work amazing for everyday use.
@@wfo0070925 Thank you for the high praise.
Amazing jig.Super easy to make.Although not as a clamp I cut a square board into two at 45 degrees.Now you can also use it to support a table top with hinges that can be easily folded. The next is this jig. I cut the Square with a hand saw and used MDF with sides 28.8cms. I normally use templates before doing my main work.
Thanks.
Nicely done
Thanks
thanks just made 8 of them sean from ireland
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Love this. What about cutting of the tip? That way you don‘t glue the jig to the glued joint.
@@d-not_telling Yes, I should have done that. Thanks.
@@SmokeyCreekWoodworks After seeing your video, I plan to make a set too - with that one variation.
You need to cut off the very corner of your jigs, otherwise glue will stick to it.
Great advice, thanks
Thanks for sharing your design, very clever indeed! Out of curiosity what size of frostner bit did you use?
I used a 7/8 bit.
Fantastic. Thanks. ❤
Glad you like it.
Thanks for the verbal explanation. I don’t watch the folks who use sign language to communicate . Nice job on the video ! Cheers
Thank you.
Agreed to the MAX! Those people probably cannot walk & chew gum at the same time.
Short sweet and concise. Great idea in the back of my head ifn ever I need. Thanks for this.
Thanks
That looks friggin amazing for those of us who don't have dozens of cabinet-sized clamps. 👏
Yep. They made putting together a large carcass much easier.
Question: Why do you draw lines from back to front For a crosscut sled , you only need a start point or an end point To align the bord with your fence ? Just like a miter saw you only need a point under the lowest sawblade tooth. Nice work though
Sometimes I do just draw a single mark, sometimes I draw the full line to cut. I guess I really wanted what I was doing to show up on camera while recording this.
Are you against using pencil lead?
@@daveklein2826 just wanted what I was doing to show up clearly on camera
Smooth as glass
Hand tools are awesome
Killing me sanding the original inscription off.
Needed to be done
The sigh at the end was great!
That was me realizing I had to haul it out of my basement shop.
Missed a spot
Yes I did, promise I got it on the next coat.
What are you dipping the screws into?
Paste wax. Helps them thread easier so I'm less likely to strip the head of the screw.
Nice looking cutting boards.
