I love how you came to this conclusion and jig on your own I’m going to a trade school for carpentry and the jigs already exist for 45, 90, and 22.5 degree cuts to and I think you can get custom ones too but the fact that you figured it out and made a jig on you own is great
Jig making was a core skill for just about every carpenter until the last few decades. Thankfully, we have a few kind and talented souls on UA-cam preserving the art and passing it down.
I made a bunch of the octagonal ones at once for my TTRPG group. First difference: Sanded down 1" dowel rods for the handle. Biggest difference: 3" wide Oak instead of the smaller oak in the video. With 7.5" of height for the volume, that means these suckers hold nearly 2 Liters. They are ridiculously large, and ridiculously awesome.
I love the way you show so much detail you run through it yourself so you know what other people will think about to start while doing it tips and hints and hands on troubleshooting and facts this is something I am going to make my dad so thank you x
Great products. I made a stein similar to your second one a few years ago. I threw in some charcoal started fluid and lit in on fire, then sanded off the charred portion with a piece of sandpaper and my fingers. It was pretty effective and very easy. The only problem I had was that the lip got burned through in one spot... I call it character!
One more thing.... shellac is dissolved by alcohol, so be aware that the stronger drink you put in the more often you may have to re-finish it. I have heard that walnut oil is good for wooden steins, but I have no experience with it
I also have 'made' my own stock removal knife out of a metal file, hammer handle, using an angle grinder, dremel, stain, stainless steel bolts, JB WELD, and hours of hand sanding.
@@SkillTree yeah walking in the woods in the fall or spring is best the younger antlers break off in the late summer and fall and we find them alot honestly.
@@tonsonbloodaxe2605 yes! I honestly considered it for this build. In hindsight I wish I had but once I get an image in my head, I really wanted to see these made.🤣
Surely, if you only angled one side by 45 degrees, you would only need one cut and it would still make a circle so long as you face the pieces correctly.
Nice work my friend. I'm Brazilian and I enjoy your videos. I would like to ask 2 questions: 1- what secret to waterproof inside the mug, you apply what inside the mug, stain, sealer, does not taste in the drink? 2- the glue that you use to join the wooden parts, with time does not come loose due to the drink that goes into the mug, and what type of wood do you use, pine?
Thank you for watching! 1. I used shellac for the seal. It's non toxic and has held up well so far. You can also use bees wax as long as you don't use hot beverages. 2. I used oak. Not sure how well the softer woods like pine would hold up but Oak so far has stayed in good shape. Regular titebond 3 wood glue.
@@SkillTree Titebond 3 is a must. 1 and 2 are not waterproof. I have also done similar mugs out of pine. Even multiple layers of finishing does not make them waterproof.
I made one from a tree branch with just chizles no metal though it was fun if I still had it or more branch wood of the opropreate size the rest of the old one I turned into planters
How have I never come across this channel? It's way underrated I wish I had a large following so I could blow up small channels that have great content.
The second one - love it, but the first one will start leaking in time, since anything stronger than your average pisswasser will slowly dissolve wood glue. I am not experienced enough to tell you how to fix it tho.
Just an FYI that's not a Stein but iw a wood Tankard. A Stien is only made from clay. Also Stien is Stone in German, so Stien is referring to stoneware aka clay.
Just skip the gluing and shellacing. You want unfinished charred (or toasted) wood in contact with Liquid Courage. Water proofing the wood defeats the aging process. (Tip: Embroidery hoops can be used in place of steel bands for small kegs, just make sure you buy the right size)
I feel like I'm in the minority because I genuinely prefer the first stein over the second by miles. They're both cool, but I feel like the first one required more effort and it shows in it's finished look.
Why yes the mic drop was a tad cocky as I’d say you stumbled and almost fell at the last hurdle , cross head screws !?!?!? What were you thinking ! should have used either ‘normal’ blade screws or upholstery studs . Luckily the awesomeness of the rest of the build more than compensated for this lack of judgment on the fixings ? 😉👍👍👍
So far so good! The drilled out one started leaking through the pores at the bottom a bit so I let it dry out and used melted beeswax. No issues since😁
Sorry for the delay. I am assuming you mean the first tankard. Each strip of 1/2" oak ended up being 6.5" tall, 1.5" wide at the outside and 1 1/16" wide on the inside. Their length is 7". Hope that helps!
I like your problem solving. Especially the drill powered sanding disk. Not trying to call you out, but is there a particular reason you spelled 'tourniment' the way you did?
It actually held up well. I did have to reseal it once because the grain of the oak is so porous and widened more as it dried. But since then, no issues at all 😁
😅 great to know! I often see them made of some king of ceramic as well. Has the word just become synonymous with the "large mug" kind of thing in other areas of the world? Regardless, thank you for letting me know!
@@SkillTree In French they are also referred to as pitchers but I don't know for other languages. There are 2 types of stone mugs that you will commonly see in Germany, the grey ones and the pale ones, I don't really know how they are made sadly (some type of clay with porcelain) but the grey ones have a rough surface but are still slippery where the pale ones have a south glazed surface. The decorated ones with a lid are called Humpen but also have plenty of other names, they are sometimes made out of metal because of their size. But most commonly your beer will be served in a glass mug or a just a glass (a 1-pint glass of course).

Jig making was a core skill for just about every carpenter until the last few decades. Thankfully, we have a few kind and talented souls on UA-cam preserving the art and passing it down.
I’m glad you clarified the second one had personality, along with good curves. Gotta make er feel loved😉
DUUDDEE!!! the second one with the grain structure and the clear finish almost makes it look like horn and not wood.
I KNOW! It fit so well with the antler!
yeah, i thought it was a horn too
Next time. I saw a pretty cool way to make a horn mug I would like to try.
I made a bunch of the octagonal ones at once for my TTRPG group.
First difference: Sanded down 1" dowel rods for the handle.
Biggest difference: 3" wide Oak instead of the smaller oak in the video.

This is a Genuine DIY! Basic tools easy and well explain guide! Cheers to you sir
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
That dog looking In and you saying peace had me in stitches 😂
Loved the vid
Made one myself.
Super stoked....since this is my FIRST woodworking attempt.
they are both beautiful and I can take some awesome tips away from this video but the antler one is just *chef's kiss*
Your solution for getting the right angle is brilliant.
Hand tools for the win 👍
Both of these are gorgeous pieces
I love tankard 2! I've already made one in the style of tankard 1, but I think I'm gonna tackle style 2 because it fits better with my character.
Great products. I made a stein similar to your second one a few years ago.

The only problem I had was that the lip got burned through in one spot... I call it character!
17:56 This is the best part of the video even with the two epic steins!
One more thing.... shellac is dissolved by alcohol, so be aware that the stronger drink you put in the more often you may have to re-finish it. I have heard that walnut oil is good for wooden steins, but I have no experience with it
Wooden Tankert...to be a Stein (german word for Stone) it needs to be stoneware or earthenware (cut from Stone or shaped from Ceramic/Clay)
Ahhh I loved the first one!! I will TOTALLY make one myself noe, thank you so much for sharing you process, your jig is genius!!
I knew you were gonna make 2!! (Wonder how 🙄🙄) great project man! I love the dark finish on the mug! 🤜
Thanks bro!
bone carving would be neat to see how well you do in creating fasteners and other types of charms
I love this. You learn so many different things and get to to use the skills you learn.
I also have 'made' my own stock removal knife out of a metal file, hammer handle, using an angle grinder, dremel, stain, stainless steel bolts, JB WELD, and hours of hand sanding.
The second one is so cooool.... Need to make my own!
This is the first video on this channel I've ever seen. This channel is awesome!
Personally I like the barbarian antler mug a little better, but they are both great. Good job
You have inspired me to start woodworking again. Thank you.
The second one was by far better. It looks the part whereas the first looked to be more store bought.
As a person with too many projects half done, and a larper. I just HAD to click subscribe and like. I will be binging your content soon.
Very nice. I made a test one out of pallet wood just for fun. I wood burned a D&D green dragon and used color pencil brfore adding the finish.
You know.... the term 'stein' means stone. I like your process it shows a bit of cleverness. Hooray for you !
The metal definitely added some good character, but the antler topped off the second one really well! I’m gonna have to use some for a future project!
Thanks! Your gonna have to give me some lathe lessons though. Drilling it out by hand was a chore!
Skill Tree come on up dude! Just let me know when you are gonna be in the Boone area!
@@rockinrswoodshop will do!😁
I want to begin my crafting journey in few weeks and your videos are really inspiring ❤️
Jig is suppercool! Just a perfect idea. Thx 4 that. Now I can make that mug too!
Glad you liked it! That one took me a WHILE to come up with. Worked like a charm though.
awesome as always...those glasses tho 😎
🤣 yup, my blindness was getting the better of me.
Makes me want some Kit Kats.
Since no one else is brave enough to say it, Stein mean stone in German, a wooden beer stein is an oxymoron and hurts my head ngl
Nice job man. Excellent macgyver work on your jig. Pretty creative solution for not having the right tool.
Thanks! It took a fair bit of thinking for that. Thank you for watching!
Great job!!!!...many thanks to share and learn about it... i am very clear now....greetings from chile ......
So Glorious!
I am digging the second one, love the horn 👍 😊
Glad you liked! It was a lot of fun to make.
If you walk in the woods you can find deer antlers at liest where I am pretty normally. But I'm from N.H. in a pretty heavy wooded place.
Hey! I am in NH all the time! I should take a walk and see what I can find.😁
@@SkillTree yeah walking in the woods in the fall or spring is best the younger antlers break off in the late summer and fall and we find them alot honestly.
Awesome steins!
I am empressed
very nice
It's an amazing job, I'm going to do the second , 'cause I got the horn, greetings from Lima - Peru.
This is awesome definitely trying some of these ideas out
actually very good now i gonna make 20 of them :D
Great stuff!@!
Thanks!
Fantastic! Well done!
Glad you like! This one actually tool a lot outta me 🤣
Oh I bet! I will for sure have to try making one of these for sure!!!
Ooooo! Now that you've made these mugs and the drinking horn!!!! I think it's tine for a horn mug!!!!!
@@tonsonbloodaxe2605 yes! I honestly considered it for this build. In hindsight I wish I had but once I get an image in my head, I really wanted to see these made.🤣
I don't even blame you they turned out so good!
shellac is a great food safe option BUT: the solvent for it is alcohol
Thanks!
love this.... might make one for my viking persona (SCA)
Cool! What's their name?
Great tutorial, I'm sure I'll try it sometime
Awesome! Share it with us if you do! I would love to see how it comes out.
Just viewed your video or should I say two for the price of one. Really enjoyed them, your presentation is top dollar. Have now subscribed.
An old world way for waterproofong the wood joints when assembling would be to soak small gauge organic chords (like jute) in melted bees wax.
Surely, if you only angled one side by 45 degrees, you would only need one cut and it would still make a circle so long as you face the pieces correctly.
Nice work my friend. I'm Brazilian and I enjoy your videos.

Happy to be of some assistance!😁

11:10
he did the thing guys, he did the thingg!!
🤣 Might have been a little cocky there.
that face tho 🤣
Just an FYI that's not a Stein but iw a wood Tankard. A Stien is only made from clay.
Also Stien is Stone in German, so Stien is referring to stoneware aka clay.
You can also use this technique to make casks for aging liquor :D

You want unfinished charred (or toasted) wood in contact with Liquid Courage. Water proofing the wood defeats the aging process.
(Tip: Embroidery hoops can be used in place of steel bands for small kegs, just make sure you buy the right size)
make a leather travelers backpack! i think it would be neat, and its something you dont see made often. . .or at all really. but super usefull!
100% something I will do soon. I have another bag slated in the next couple of weeks but I will add this to the list for sure!
@@SkillTree Haha! sweet, super excited to tune in!
I personally don't like alcohol but I would happily share a drink with you I'll just take some tea but we would have to figure out who gets what stein
Guests choose! You can use whichever and I will happily use the other😁
I feel like I'm in the minority because I genuinely prefer the first stein over the second by miles. They're both cool, but I feel like the first one required more effort and it shows in it's finished look.
I didn't know I needed to hear a ridiculous term like octagonal mug body today.
ya bone is a unique smell all its own
Cool stein! I am gonna make my own one day.. I hate math soo I'll take ur measurements. I lazy. I am gonna make it shorter tho.
Put a glass bottom on then you could check for a coin and not just join a military
Awesome tutorial. One thing I wondered - how is the inside of the stein supposed to be finished given that it will contain liquids? Oil, wax maybe?
My seams were tight enough that using some food grade shellac did the job. Otherwise, bees wax would do nicely.😁
@@SkillTree Hi there. Thank you for replying. One more thing. Is the wood stain you are using food graded or it is safe because it is on the outside.
@@SkillTree uh don't use that with alcohol then because shellac is alcohol based so your finish will dissolve.
As an added comment.... perhaps you could put strips of leather under you upholstery nails?
Do you take the 22.5 from 90 and set blade at 67.5 or just at 22.5.
If I recall correctly, I cut the 2x4 at the 67.5 this way the bit that was removed ended up being 22.5.
Why yes the mic drop was a tad cocky as I’d say you stumbled and almost fell at the last hurdle , cross head screws !?!?!? What were you thinking ! should have used either ‘normal’ blade screws or upholstery studs . Luckily the awesomeness of the rest of the build more than compensated for this lack of judgment on the fixings ? 😉👍👍👍
You should have put a wooden lid on each of your Steins, to keep the drinker to succumbing to the black plague. BTW - I liked the second Stein better.
QUESTION! what slack or stain did you use??? I want to try making these but not sure what to use.
Ah, very easy make 3:42 with out electronic tool's :)
Hey up there. How about diy anodizing? I've heard you can also use food coloring as the color agent....how about it?
this is good shit
ya antler bone shells and hair all smell the same when you burn or grind it till it smokes
Stein is just German for rock. I don't know where it came from, but It doesn't make a lot of sence that a mug is called like that in English.
What are you going to do about the wood's water absorption?
How are they handling up so far
So far so good! The drilled out one started leaking through the pores at the bottom a bit so I let it dry out and used melted beeswax. No issues since😁
would you have the plans for your jig so other can make it as well.
you should try to learn how to make a crystal neckless
Ooh, fancy! I am down! Consider it on the list!
"If" you have a chop saw (i looked up what the over the top one is called), that might work as well couldn't it?
Does anyone know if these can hold hot drinks as well as cold ones, eg hot chocolate or tea.
Is it a wooden Tankard ?
What is the width of the oak boards of the first stein
Excellent! What were the dimensions of your strips? About how much beer can your stein hold? Thanks!
Sorry for the delay. I am assuming you mean the first tankard. Each strip of 1/2" oak ended up being 6.5" tall, 1.5" wide at the outside and 1 1/16" wide on the inside. Their length is 7". Hope that helps!
As in the Gentleman Bastard book series?
I like your problem solving. Especially the drill powered sanding disk.
Not trying to call you out, but is there a particular reason you spelled 'tourniment' the way you did?
Thanks! Oh no! Where did I typo?!?
Found it! Thanks!🤣
Master of wood, leather, horns........ what else megecian?
How did the second one hold up over the past few years? Since it was green, I wonder if it cracked or warped.
It actually held up well. I did have to reseal it once because the grain of the oak is so porous and widened more as it dried. But since then, no issues at all 😁
Well look at the big brain on brad.
Stein in German means stone so you just made a wooden stone gj. In German, we call them "Krug" or "Bierkrug" which means pitcher or beer pitcher.
😅 great to know! I often see them made of some king of ceramic as well. Has the word just become synonymous with the "large mug" kind of thing in other areas of the world? Regardless, thank you for letting me know!

It may just be that I am a newbie here but, the link for Borg 3D dose not work or they have changed the channel so as not to have the TMT.
Can you make a Mead Stein out of Horn, without cutting the horn at the closed end?
Where can I get the spray finish?
What kind of shellac did u use
