- Making plywood from a log with just hand tools. Yes I am that stupid. today we will be looking at cutting a log then cutting that into veneer, that we can then press into plywood to make a clock.

Dude, good timing! I was wondering how to plane a very thin piece of wood, and now you just go "Duh, stick it to your bench dummy!" Thanks! I am so happy :D
glad I could help! it is really useful for things under 1/8"
That looked like a labour of love but you cracked it well 😊
and here it is :D
I allways prefer to have solid wood edge bending on plywood, because the plywood endgrain looks really ugly to me. But when you put the oil on the endgrain of you homemade plywood: that looked really nice!
all oak plywood is a fun thing!
I'm liking to support the effort you put into it.
James I've made veneer sycamore for gift boxes using a bandsaw. but my hat off to you cutting veneer by hand.
Labor of love
Oh my god i would prefer to do this with a band saw 😱😱😱 you’re in shape budy oufff lollll
So the secret to making veneers by hand is scoring a thicker piece of wood and then using a freshly sharpened saw so it doesn't drift.. I was affraid I needed a bandsaw to make veneer..
I really appreciate the video. I have a special project that this will work perfect for. Thanks
Great job man, you’re a true master.
So you saw up wood to glue it back together to make wood ? Are you Canadian or something ? HA HA ! No - only joking - this is a great experiment ! It must be so satisfying to beat the system like this ! And of course it features boiled Linseed oil too ! You will go down as the Canadian champion Linseed oil boiler ! A brilliant and entertaining video - THANK YOU !
LOL thanks Phil!
can't wait to see your clock! awesome
Glad to see the more detailed version
LOL thanks. and congrats on first. I set the release time for PM rather then AM. oops!
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I don't do a ton of hand tool work but I love the idea of making ur own ply wood. I do a lot of chainsaw milling to get my own lumber so this would be fun to do when I have down time. Keep up the great content
@@WoodByWrightHowTo once you have your clock, that type of error will disappear.
I'm liking what you have been doing with the second channel.
thanks Eric! I am glad it is working out!
Awesome job James! 😃👌🏻👍🏻👊🏻
thanks Fred!
Love the show!!! Crazy!!!
LOL thanks!
you are like clickspring but with wood haha
LOL I would love to do a colab with him some time!
@@WoodByWrightHowTo let me send him a message through Petron
Got a love how you make it look like so much fun
In this case, where you know the clock will not get wet, would hide glue have worked too?
Thanks man. I would have to be careful with hide glue or it will cool too fast. It takes a long time to laminate them.
Iv'e built two clocks by Clayton Boyer, LOTS of satisfying/frustrating work. Short of string and weights it is 100% wood. What plans are you using?
I’ll stick to turning rough lumber into furniture and such that’s hard enough but you will have an extra layer of pride on competition.
LOL I should do the same!
I didn't think making a clock would involve this much work. I've cut a log with a handsaw before and it took forever and about halfway through I finally figured out what people meant by resting the saw on the wood and letting the saw do the work. Every time I heard someone say that I was like ok what does that mean?, well it means (to me) puttingvthe weight of the saw on the bottom of your hand where your pinky meets the palm not at the top where your thumb and forefinger meet. Worked out much better once I figured that out my saw stopped bending on me and went through the log much smoother l, still took a while to get it cut and then it took like a month of me repeating this is how you hold a saw this is how you hold a saw everytime I picked up my saw before it became second nature to just hold it like that.
Right on. It is amazing what can be done with a hand saw once you get use to it.
Ok, next you’ll have to show us how to make a log. 😊
Unfortunately that takes years.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo 😂
Whish this would be the quality you can buy in store, I find those to never be well glued, my pieces splintered no matter what I did with it, planing, sawing, squaring corners with a chisel (yes I did have sharp and well tuned tools)
Have you tried marine grade ply? It is more expensive, but it should be void free.
@@EricMeyerMaker yes I have, but I haven't found it to be void free, now that is also not the thing that went wrong with the situation in the origional comment. I was using birch ply and i felt like it wasn't glued propperly
Looking forward to the clock making videos
you and me both.
Hi. Thanks for the video.
How did you season/dry the log? DId you dry the log as a whole log or did you split it in half then season? Think you said it had been drying for a year? Did you seal the end grain? If so what did you use? Were you successful in preventing cracks and splits? Did you measure the moisture content of the oak before starting out on making the vaneer?
Many thanks
In this case I dried it as half a log. They were still quite a few checks in it but I was able to salvage the front face That's why I cut one board off of the face of it. I have several videos on drying lumber and this log actually came from a video I did on how to split lumber. The lumber was acclimatized to the shop so it was at a resting moisture level.

Nice job mate, so simple so humble so good
As a follow woodworker i have a question for you
In your opinion or knowledge what would be limit for the thinknes of wood to do crossing laminations as in plywood, but wood wouldn't move or crack
Thanks
If you're just doing too laminations it would have to be under 1/8 in. For most woods. If your wood is prone to a lot of expansion and contraction might even be thinner than that. If you're doing three laminations you might get away with a little over 8 in. If you're doing four or more you could go up to quarter inch without much problem.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo
Thanks mate I'll try
Hey, does this clock project teaser mean we will get to see the vintage scroll saw again soon?
yup. I have been spending time on both of those recently. lots of fun to come!
Fun!
Random thought. How good/bad would a resin glue work at making plywood? If it works well you could conceivably make plywood from only a pine tree. 🤔
you can use any glue you want as long as it has a long enough open time for it. that would be a fun idea!
Interesting though I think I'll stick to just buying my plywood
I suppose the plywood is going to be stable, but isn't oak one of the spices of wood that expands and contracts most when the humidity changes?
No it is near the middle of that list. in general the softer a wood is the more it can absorb and expand. but because the layers are so thin it will not expand and contract. the apposing fibers will keep it in place.
Not too bad in that respect - I live in a 400 year old timber framed cottage in the UK and it is fairly stable - it does get attacked by woodworm and dry fit though - will James's clock get woodworm ????
Fit ? Sorry Android changed rot to fit - naughty Android !
It would be worth all the work if you were making curved pieces.
I have a couple fun ideas along those lines!
Curious why you used an even number of plys.
I misspoke. I used enough plys to get to the thickness but they ended up getting to an odd number.
I think no one will call it cheating if you get a bandsaw 😋
LOL I think you are right!
At the end, the sequence, I think, you got backwards. Ya gotta be crazy to make a two year air dried white oak log into plywood by hand. Just sayin!!!
lol I do like banging my head on a wall!
Wait is this real?
yup. Making a clock this winter!
You making a cuckoo clock
not this time. just an open gear clock!
@@WoodByWrightHowTo that's cool too
