How to Make a Magic Wand - Without a Lathe DB Builds 2019-04-13 | I wanted to make a "magic wand" inspired by Harry Potter, but when you look online, most of them are super elegant looking and turned on a lathe. I don't have a lathe, but I still wanted to make a wand. So I got creative with my bandsaw and a Dremel.This video is part of a collaboration with the Wood by Wright community. Check out other videos below. There will be a contest and a giveaway on the new Wizards News channel. Please follow the link below and vote for me if you liked my wand!Wood by Wright: youtube.com/channel/UCbMtJOly6TpO5MQQnNwkCHgWand Video:youtu.be/lM9QNu-PSREWizards News: youtube.com/channel/UCJ2jnXrU8FLHVsAsjKoUBSwWand Voting: https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=jk1TTHE_SdUMUSICNatural - Endless LoveLightning Bugs - GeographerINSTAGRAM: instagram.com/dbbuildsFACEBOOK: facebook.com/dbbuildsETSY: etsy.com/ca/shop/DBBuildsStore
Woodworking Workbench Build | Solid Maple Top | Rockler Face and End Vises DB Builds 2019-04-28 | My first workbench was the $50 Family Handyman workbench. Then I got more interested in incorporating hand tools into my woodworking, so I threw together a 2x4 workbench and attached a tiny Irwin vise to the front of it. As I've gone deeper and deeper into this rabbit hole of a hobby, I realized I needed a better workbench. This is that workbench.After some initial research as to what kind of vises I wanted, I got a good deal on the Rockler face and end vises around Black Friday and designed the bench around those two vises. Rockler 12" Quick Release End Vise: rockler.com/12-quick-release-end-viseRockler Heavy Duty Quick Release Front Vise: rockler.com/heavy-duty-quick-release-front-viseThis workbench has been in use for a month or so and has already been extremely helpful. It took forever to edit the video because I capture way too much footage. I hope you enjoy the video, and maybe learn something that you can incorporate into your own bench build.INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/dbbuildsFACEBOOK: facebook.com/dbbuildsETSY: etsy.com/ca/shop/DBBuildsStoreMUSIC:Natural - Endless LoveLightning Bugs - Geographer
How to Refinish Old Cutting Boards DB Builds 2019-01-17 | Back in December, I noticed my mother's large cutting board had seen better days. I offered to refinish it for her before the holidays so she could use it at Christmas dinner. She mentioned she also had a second board that she didn't use anymore. I noticed it had a crack down the middle, right along the seam between two pieces of wood. That crack quickly became a split when I tried to bend the cutting board a bit to see how bad it was (it was bad).So I took both boards back to my shop, did a whole bunch of sanding and some repair work, and got them back to her on just in time on Christmas Eve. Repairing cutting boards is relatively easy, doesn't take a lot of time, and is a great way to breathe new life into a family heirloom.---INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/dbbuildsFACEBOOK: facebook.com/dbbuilds---MUSIC: Hear the Noise - John Deley and the 41 PlayersGold Coast - Bad Snacks
Wall Mounting the Harbor Freight Dust Collector DB Builds 2018-11-28 | Tired of the amount of floor space dedicated to my dust collector, I took apart the original metal base and the wooden caddy I had built for the trash can cyclone separator. I re-designed the caddy for the can to reduce its footprint, created a wall mount for the motor, and built a frame to support the bags on the unit.INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/dbbuildsFACEBOOK: facebook.com/dbbuilds
Hanging Garden Sign & Frame | Hand-carved Letters DB Builds 2018-08-15 | A friend's parents asked me to create a sign for her memorial garden. I designed and built the sign and frame from eastern red cedar. The letters were carved in by hand - this is my first ever attempt at hand carving a sign. Please consider donating to an organization that provides services for people with disabilities in my friend's memory. Life's WORC is the organization that provided for her - http://www.lifesworc.orgMUSIC:Passing Time - Kevin MacLeodhttp://www.incompetech.comINSTAGRAM:http://www.instagram.com/dbbuilds
