    I like the design, but I guess I won't be able to make these because I don't have expensive enough tools 😢

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  6 місяців тому

      You don't need expensive tools to make these candle holders. A drill and a fret or coping saw would work perfectly. Even just a handsaw to cut the initial pieces. Fancy tools don't make the project, the woodworker makes the project and the tools just assist him. Give it a try. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

      @acutabove_woodworkings  8 років тому

      +kris stankievech
      That "stencil" is call an INCRA T-rule and you can get them directly from INCRA, or many woodworking stores carry them. They are available in imperial and metric measurements and are absolutely awesome. I use mine for everything in the shop. www.incra.com/measuring_marking-trules.html
      They are also available at Lee Valley Tools. www.incra.com/measuring_marking-trules.html

    I plan on making these once I get the green light to use my band saw... do you think the scroll work could be done on the band saw?

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  9 років тому

      +B_K_Builds Consider yourself as getting the green light. With a smaller blade (possibly 1/8") you can easily cut these on a band saw. Heck, you could cut them by hand with a coping saw. You could sand the profiles down with a disc sander. There are a million ways to accomplish one project. Go for it. If you have any questions at all, feel free to ask. I'd be more than happy to help you out.

    What is the name of the drill bit that you use for the recessed part please. Also is there something to judge how deep you are going, or you just eyeball what’s half of your material?

    • @acutabove_woodworkings
      @acutabove_woodworkings  Рік тому

      The name of the bit is called a Forstner bit Julie and they are used to drill flat bottomed, stopped holes like I drilled for these candle holders. The best way to gauge your depth, is to place a mark on the edge of your stock where you want the bottom of the hole to be. Then, lower your bit to that mark and set the depth stop of your drill press to stop the bit at the line. If you are drilling by hand, using a hand held drill, you can align the bottom of the bit with the mark and then place masking tape to the bit, in line with the surface of the wood. When the tape gets to the wood's surface, your hole is deep enough. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in to the show.

    Is there a specific name for the tool you used to mark out the measurements?

    • @acutabove_woodworkings

      There have been many people ask this question in the past and for good reason. Those particular devices are fantastic. They are made by INCRA and are call the INCRA T-rule. You can find them on INCRA's site or there are many woodworking stores (including Lee Valley) that sell them. Here is the link to the INCRA site. www.incra.com/measuring_marking-trules.html

    Great project Kenny just in time for Christmas, be perfect them on the table while tucking into your Christmas Food mmmmmmmmmm Christmas Food.Anyway back to planet earth, I thought that any of the 3 sizes looked good. Would the wood show up better if it had anything on it? as long as it was fire proof that is? don't want the Christmas Food going up in flames. Oh dear it's happening again!!! mmmmmmmmmmm Christmas Food. Ha Ha as you can tell I love my Christmas Food, anyway Kenny hope you had a good Thanks Giving with the family on Thursday. Take Care my Friend, Barry from England.

      @acutabove_woodworkings  9 років тому

      +Barry Roberts Funny that you should mention about it being in time for Christmas. I wasn't going to post this show this week and my wife suggested that I post it to give people time to make them for Christmas. That way, they can have them on the table while they eat their Christmas dinner.............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Christmas dinner. The ones shown in the video are unfinished, but they have since been coated with some danish oil and it really brings out the grain in the maple and really darkens the walnut. They look great. Any finish would be fine, as they will never be in contact with the flame and the top surface will never get hot enough to ignite. As for Thanksgiving..........us Canadians have our Thanksgiving in October. It was the American Thanksgiving on Thursday. I guess I will have to wait until December to have some of that delicious Christmas turkey dinner..............mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Christmas turkey dinner.

      +joseph poncik This question seems to be one of the more popular ones on my show. The layout lines are drawn with an INCRA T-rule. They are available from most major woodworking stores. Lee Valley Tools carries them in Imperial measurements only, but if you require metric, those are available directly from INCRA's website.
